Chapter 117: Checks and Balances

As the cycle of nine returns to the truth, a new beginning emerges.

In the year 20008 on the Double Ninth Festival, Jiang Muwan was in Mengxi Garden in C City.

That morning, a thick fog rose up in C City, shrouding the city in a misty haze.

It led to those setting out in the morning to hesitate a little more than usual.

For the grand aristocratic families, festivals were of paramount importance; they managed to gather for every festivity, big or small.

It was the same in C City and no different in the Capital.

Upon rising in the morning, Fu Jing was due to return to the Capital. Before leaving, she stood in the living room with a troubled look on her face, gazing at Jiang Muwan. After a long silence, she asked, "You really won't return to the Capital?"

"It's better that you go back," she replied, her words leaving no room for turnaround.
