Huangfu Hua Ye, despondent and dispirited, returned to Changning Guard.
At this point, the Huangfu Clan was starkly different than their spirited selves from years ago. Over the years, they had sought medical aid and bought numerous Dan medicines, trying to control Huangfu Hua Ye's injuries and ailments.

Adding salt to the wound, the rise of Qianma Town's pastoral farm, which had already developed considerably in just three short years, competed against Huangfu Clan's large ranch mostly through commercial means.
The animal meat and wool produced by the three major farms of Qianma were not only slightly better in quality, but their prices also continued to fall, gradually taking over the Huangfu Clan's original market share.
