Far off in Jiangnan, the moment Second Master He heard the news of His Majesty's demise and the New Emperor's ascension, he stood petrified.
After sitting dazedly for a long time, he finally came back to his senses.
The Imperial Father is gone?
He thought of Divine Doctor Ning's words before his death, "As long as the Crown Prince can hold on..."
But in such circumstances, how could he hold on?
This must be a jest from the heavens, right? He had finally decided to withdraw from the struggle, to die in retreat and start anew...
And the Imperial Father had actually passed away.
He even thought, what if he had persisted for a few more days, would he be the one sitting on the Dragon Throne now?
But he had left, and there was no way for him to know that the Imperial Father would pass away!
At present... his heart was both saddened by the Imperial Father's death and in turmoil.
Now, over a month had gone by, and Second Master He had finally snapped out of it.
