Promise

Alex went to check up on Wen Cheng. After seeing him breathing a bit more easily, he sighed in relief. 'A few days to recover,' he assessed. 

He walked out of the Elder's hall and looked at the surrounding. The sect valley that would always be cheerful, even at nighttime with disciples running all around, trying to perform alchemy was totally empty tonight. 

The bright streets of the valley looked gloomy from the lack of any human in it. 

Alex looked up at the sky, stars gleaming in the nighttime, some brighter than others. The moon seemed a little paler tonight as if the moon itself grieved over the tragedy it witness from the sky. 

So many things had happened today and yet… it has still only been 5 hours at most. The time wasn't even 4 am in the night. 

Everyone was ordered to go back to their homes to rest, so Alex returned too. He went back to his home and went into a room.
