Fang Wang Residence.
Night Dream and Zhao Yinger's eyes were already swollen from crying.
The wind rustled bleakly.
Fang Che descended.
He walked silently over to the two women.
"They've all... left?" Night Dream gazed at Fang Che hopefully.
"They have."
Fang Che answered.
Zhao Yinger and Night Dream both fell into gloom.
Although they had known the answer long ago, their hearts still ached. They had not even been able to give them a proper farewell.
Yet both of them understood that they would certainly cry on such an occasion.
But everyone was heading out to become heroes. What good would sobbing and sniveling do? Besides, they would probably cry every time they remembered a farewell like this in the future.
The seven men did not want to add to the two women's sorrow and future burden.
"I'm leaving too."
Fang Che said, "Time is tight."
Night Dream reminded him, "Are you going back to Azure Wave City?"
Fang Che was silent for a moment. "I'll go after I return."
Night Dream fell silent.
"If I don't make it back..."
Fang Che said bleakly, "Tell Father and Mother that I'm guarding a secret realm and waiting for the next rotation."
Night Dream's tears spilled from her eyes. "You'll definitely come back."
"Yes, I definitely will."
Fang Che stepped forward and embraced Night Dream. "The nine little ones need to build a solid foundation as soon as possible, then send them to school."
"All right."
"I'm leaving."
Fang Che took two steps back.
Night Dream bit her lip and smiled bravely. Tears shimmered in her eyes as she gazed deeply at Fang Che.
Zhao Yinger stood to the side, smiling through her tears. Suddenly, she bravely stepped forward and pleaded, "Let me hug you!"
Fang Che froze for a moment.
