Meanwhile, Fen Shuying made her way back to the hideout of her clan. There, she was informed that Wang Jian had arrived, prompted by the announcement of Fen Gen's death.
Given the existing treaty between the Night Dagger Clan and Wang Jian, Fen Shuying greeted this development with little astonishment and considered it a predictable occurrence.
Wang Jian had arrived an hour earlier, and he was talking to Lady Xia with a grave expression on his face.
"I am sorry for your loss, Lady Xia. It is truly a tragedy that Fen Gen has passed away," he said in a sympathetic tone.
Lady Xia's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she managed to compose herself enough to respond, "Thank you, Lord Wang. I cannot believe that my husband is gone. It is so sudden and unexpected."
