Baili An didn't know what expression should be on his face, his eyes firmly closed, his long eyelashes overlapping, his thoughts almost a jumbled mess.
The Xu Seal fell into place, and Hongying gave a slight smile, speaking softly to him, "You are uniquely noble, unmatched in this world. Hongying wishes you to wear flowers on your lapel, enjoy peaceful years, and fear nothing in the future."
Gifted with the Xu Seal as a token of loyalty, he traveled with his lord as a distant guest.
United in both prosperity and decay, they journeyed side by side.
Baili An clenched his fist, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at her as he softly asked, "Second River mentioned that opening the Bronze Gate would let Feng Qing see his ancestral home once more, Hongying... do you still know the way back home?"
Hongying was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Yes."
People lie to hide the fragility of their hearts.
Snowflakes withered and danced, and Hongying was gone.
