Guarding.

Shi Lang walked in the void with Amelia's corpse in his arms. He was lost and did not know what he was doing. Only his instincts were driving his actions. It took him two days to reach the Asura Hall. The entire sect knelt on the ground on one knee, this was their way of showing respect. 

A tradition imparted to them by Commander Silence and the rest. This was how things worked in the federal military, and since Amelia was a soldier first, this send off was apt. 

Shi Lang did not care about anyone at this moment, he did not even look at Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei, who were also effected by these events. Carole and Lullaby had told the girls what happened. They might be children but knew the cruel side of life. The two of them were worried about their master, and when they saw Shi Lang walking with dazed eyes, it became evident that their fear was correct.
