Seeing Wang Yue say that, Xu Fengnian glanced at Qingliang Mountain nearby and couldn't help feeling a pang of sorrow.
His mother's grave was on that mountain.
He fell silent for a long time before asking solemnly, "Is it really unavoidable?"
Seeing that Xu Fengnian still held out hope, Wang Yue nodded seriously. "That's right. Take Old Huang, who's always by your side. I can tell he'll die someday, but he's still willing to die for you. That's because you're such a useless master.

Looking at Xu Fengnian's astonished expression, Wang Yue gave him a knowing smile. "Old Huang is practically inseparable from you, but he wasn't with you today, so he must have left.
