At the break of dawn, after bidding farewell to Zhu E, Chen Yi awakened both Min Ning and Li Wenhu.
The old man had fallen into deep sleep for an entire day after burying his disciple, and when he woke up this morning, there was little grief or sorrow in his eyes—he seemed like someone entirely unaffected.
Min Ning, on the other hand, appeared weary. She cast several deep glances at Chen Yi, her heart filled with mixed emotions—puzzlement, disdain, and a twinge of frustration at his shortcomings.
The group presented their waist medallions and prepared to leave the military camp. Along the way, Chen Yi noticed many soldiers packing up and dismantling their tents.
He realized that Qin Qingluo truly intended to leave.
As for the woman pregnant with his child, though the two harbored deep resentment toward each other, Chen Yi inexplicably felt reluctant to part.
