"Master!"
"Ah Jiu!"
"Little Jiu!"
Seeing her collapse, several people cried out and reached for her. Leng Shuang and Leng Hua, who were kneeling behind her, caught her falling figure.
Guan Xilin stepped forward and lifted her into his arms. "I'll take her back first. Leng Hua, you stay here..." He glanced at the pile of gray ash, his voice strained. "Gather it up!"
"Yes!" Leng Hua replied, watching them leave. He then walked forward and kowtowed three times before the ash, retrieving an urn to collect it.
Guan Xilin carried Feng Jiu to her residence on the floating island. Wanyan Qianhua and Leng Shuang helped her change her wet clothes, while Guan Xilin paced anxiously outside.
"Do you think Mo Ze is really gone?" Guan Xilin asked Jun Jueshang.
