It was already night.
Zhao Tian dashed through the air, letting the cool wind of the Jade Eclipse Star brush past him.
As Jade Eclipse Castle came into view, Zhao Tian slowed his flight and gradually descended toward one of the outer wings.
His astral sense spread quietly through the surroundings, and he immediately noticed her.
Ji Shuang.
She was standing alone at the end of an outer hallway, her figure silhouetted against the open night sky.
She was simply standing there with both hands resting lightly against the stone railing, gazing toward the distant stars.
Her long purple hair moved gently in the night breeze, strands occasionally brushing against her cheeks.
There was something strangely lonely about the sight.
Zhao Tian's expression softened, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he approached.
He knew she wasn't angry because she hated him.
She was angry because she loved him.
