"She's dead."
A sinking feeling came over Cao Ziming.
Ji Changsheng's eyes also dimmed slightly.
He had guessed this answer long ago.
Yet, still felt somewhat depressed after having it confirmed.
"How did she die?"
"She turned down all offers from the powerful and wealthy, and she turned down all marriage proposals. She declared to the public that she sought the path of immortality and had no interest in the secular world."
The vice minister shook his head as he said, "She was overly proud, thinking that her own talent would allow her to prevail in all situations."
Ji Changsheng interrupted him: "In all affairs, those with abilities should prevail. People with talent and ability ought to be able to find success through their own merits. Burying talent is a disgrace to Sheng Country, not her fault."
