When Qin Li saw Shangguan Shiyu waiting quietly inside the stone cave, a pang of sorrow struck his heart. She was sitting there, hugging her legs, her chin resting on her knees, lost in thought. All the clues pointed to a single, sobering fact: the woman who had been comatose for years within the Divine Eagle Sect was, in all likelihood, Shiyu's mother, Lin Yunlan.
How could he tell her?
Hesitantly, Qin Li walked slowly into the stone cave.
Shangguan Shiyu lifted her head. Even in the darkness, her eyes were as bright and captivating as ever. "Husband, you're back so soon. Did you find out anything?"
"Yes, I heard a few things... but I'm not sure how to tell you," Qin Li said hesitantly, but he knew he had to.
After all, the cruelest thing in the world wasn't ignorance, but uncertainty.
Shangguan Shiyu's Star Eyes dimmed slightly, but she kept her gaze fixed on Qin Li. "Just say it. I can handle it. Because... I still have you."
