As the night ended, the morning sun was beginning to rise over the horizon.
Xi Shen had long stopped playing his Zither, but Fei Yin was still laying on the ground.
After a moment, Fei Yin opened his eyes and sat up.
He had tears stains all over his cheeks, and his eyes looked extremely puffy.
Fei Yin then turned to Xi Shen, before he slightly rose and got on his knees. After which, he bowed sincerely to Xi Shen and said, “Thank you, second prince. I-I was extremely foolish and I have no way to ever repay this debt. Please, if there is anything that you wish me to do I won’t hesitate to do it because I owe you my life.”
Xi Shen looked at Fei Yin offering his service to him but he didn’t immediately accept it. Instead, he asked, “You have doubts about the illusions you saw, right? You ask, and I’ll tell you the truth.”
