Because of this mishap, Fang Zheng had no choice but to return to the previous city... and then come back again.
Yes, there were still three of them.
The reason was simple. After Fang Zheng sent the girl back, he was told that she had originally been an orphan. Her parents had been killed by human traffickers several years ago, and she had later been adopted by a family of doctors. But that family had also vanished during the previous Titan attack. Her adoptive mother had been killed, while her adoptive father's whereabouts were unknown.
By rights, there should have been a boy who was always by her side. But... when the Titans attacked, everything had been chaos. No one knew where that boy had run off to.
Thus, with no other choice, Fang Zheng had to take the girl away again.
After all, she had lost her memory, and the people there were practically saying, "Immortal Master, you're so powerful, why not take this child with you and let her ascend to heaven..." Clearly, they had no intention of raising a girl like her. So Fang Zheng had no choice but to take her away. After all... her amnesia was because of him... my ass!
