Master Tongtian’s birthday banquet was a magnificent affair, with the entire Four Seas and Eight Desolations immersed in a festive atmosphere. For Huzhang, however, the celebration was an exhausting ordeal. Although he had been meticulous in managing the sect’s affairs, there remained an unresolved knot in his heart.
As it turned out, Huzhang had once been entangled in a romance with Leng Qingqiu. Seeing her again now, only to discover she was already a married woman, filled his heart with pain and helplessness. To avoid unnecessary trouble and to keep himself from sinking deeper into emotional turmoil, Huzhang chose to watch from a distance, not daring to step any closer.
Watching the happiness that surrounded Leng Qingqiu, Huzhang felt both blessed and dejected. He knew that the romance was in the past and that he must learn to let go. Though a trace of reluctance lingered, he understood that one must always look forward in life. Thus, he buried his bitterness deep within and refocused on his path of cultivation.
