A Terrifying Discovery

"This used to be the palace, your home," Qi Zhengming said as he guided Huo Yunshen.

Huo Yunshen felt as if someone had pricked his heart when Qi Zhengming introduced the unfamiliar place as his home.

To Huo Yunshen, his home would always be the Huo family in Peijing, but that place had also become a place of sorrow for him.

Huo Yunshen had been snuck out from the palace when he was a baby. He had no feelings attached to the castle; the only thing that he had was the responsibility he had to carry.

After taking Huo Yunshen on a tour around the palace, Qi Zhengming took him to the royal tomb.

"Yunshen, we found something really terrifying," Qi Zhenming said.

"What?"

"We discovered that both your father's and mother's body are gone. That's the reason I called you over today."

"…"

They both stopped in front of Huo Yunshen's parents' tombs, but the coffins were gone.

"Were you here when they were buried?"
