After their return, they no longer spoke unnecessary words, nor did they linger in their farewells. Instead, others were saying their goodbyes to "Chief Ming," with the woman responding to each one.
Pei Ye looked at this scene, as if she were the moon surrounded by stars. He remembered the desperation on Zhu Gaoyang's face when he heard the words "Ming Qi Tian," as if he had seen a savior.
