Banquet

Hui Yue did not go into detail about how he was planning to kill the third prince, and neither did his friends ask, yet deep within the eyes of Deng Wu and Wang Ju Long, a small fire started burning. A fire which would only be extinguished with the death of the prince.

"There is no point to rush out now and find Shu Yun as it has already been so long. She will return here if she can, and we do not know where to even start looking for her. We should at least eat before we do anything else," Cai Jie said after a moment of silence. Afterwards, he helped himself to some food which had been placed on the table. The atmosphere within the dining hall was somber, and although everyone was speaking with one another about light, casual subjects, no one could let go of the feeling of dread that had crept into their hearts.
