The atmosphere was tense as no one dared to speak. Everyone was looking at Rong Xing, waiting for her to wake up and to hear her decision about whether she would support Hui Yue or her father.

Hui Yue was seated in a chair and in his hands was the small bottle containing Wang Ju Long's Soul Shadow. This bottle was being gently caressed but also treated with great care. By his side was Sha Yun and on his other side was Huli. Both of them were standing straight, but neither spoke. Huli glanced around the entire room, observing everyone with a cold gleam in her eyes, and Sha Yun was looking at Hui Yue with tears in her eyes.

Lao and Jo were seated behind Sha Yun, both of them were silently seated holding each other's hands as tears streamed down their cheeks. They were just staring at the bottle in Hui Yue's hands.
