"Countless eyes are on you. I know you must have important matters to attend to back home, but the situation here is even more critical. Don't forget, Beitang Yunxiu is still with us, watching your every move at all times."
Kang Chen remained expressionless. Since he had already decided to go back, his mind was made up.
"You don't need to remind me of these things. I'm fully aware. Since I've made this decision, I've already considered all possible outcomes. You needn't say anything further—just do as I've instructed. I summoned you to inform you of my decision, not to seek your counsel or persuasion."
Kang Chen knew better than anyone the current state of affairs. This war—he was the one to personally put an end to it. He also understood what lay ahead to confront.
But this journey back to the Imperial City—he was resolute. No one could stop him.
Only by seeing Ming Mei with his own eyes could he finally feel at ease.
