What had she gained?

When put in words, absolutely nothing.

In fact, she had lost much more than what she had gained.

The first time she asked herself this question was precisely the day Yu Wei died and that was when she really realized how the freedom she thought she was gaining was nothing more than a dream that had trapped her in a different kind of a jail.

"Jin Shifeng, we don't need to be on opposite sides," Jie Fu Lian softly spoke as he looked at her, "If you join hands with me, I'll help you avenge your secret lover and I'll also help you get that freedom you longed for."

Jin Shifeng scoffed as she heard this and asked, "Are you trying to manipulate me?"

Jie Fu Lian innocently smiled as he heard this but said nothing as a response.

On the thirteenth day, Jin Shifeng returned to the Jin Sect and Jin Long could finally sigh in relief.
