Tear of the Lover: The Cauldron Soul's Great Delight in the True Flavors of the Mortal World

Early the next morning.

The doors of Jingqi Pavilion stood wide open.

Guests immediately streamed in, one after another.

Along with the guests, Yang Jun and Tang Xuan arrived on behalf of the company to see Xiao Ran.

"I'm very sorry. I wasn't in Ruzhou yesterday, and I never expected something so serious to happen."

Tang Xuan adopted a very humble attitude. As soon as he entered, he apologized to Xiao Ran. As one of Ruzhou's three supervisors, his failure to show up promptly could certainly be seen as dereliction of duty.

After inviting the two men to sit, Xiao Ran watched as Tang Xuan took a special box from his space and set it on the table.

Xiao Ran's expression shifted at the sight of the ashes. He placed a hand on the urn, a hint of apology in his manner.

Xiao Ran rested a hand on her head and gently stroked it a few times. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect anyone to target our home and frighten you like that. Are
