Shen Yi could no longer stand; his legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground with a "bang."
He felt that he was about to die from the pain, but it wasn't because of the impact of his knees on the ground; it was the pain in his heart that was unbearable.
Shen Yi clenched his teeth, veins popping on his forehead, sweat pouring out densely, as if he'd just emerged from the water.
He hugged the Rebirth Plaque tightly to his chest, his whole body curled up on the ground without any semblance of dignity.
Master Wangchen continued to watch from the side, seemingly unaffected by any emotions, yet in the depths of his eyes, there was unmistakable compassion.

Before leaving the hall, Master Wangchen, with his back to Shen Yi, spoke, "The old monk will pray daily for benefactor Shen and Mrs. Shen. You will surely share a loving and enduring bond through the years."
