Xing was in deep thoughts as she went back from the temple not having any idea what those two powerful people - one god and one demon were discussing and the implications that it would bring in her life in the near future. How she had such powerful people by her side because of the same person who brought her all the troubles she is in too.
Shengli was holding her hands as usual with the Emperor walking on the other side of him. Somehow that made Shengli realise he is currently surrounded by the two people who love him unconditionally and most dearly in this entire world. He knew how much Xing loves him always but he realised how much his brother loved him only when he saw him pushing Xing when she stabbed him to break his spell thinking that she hurt him.
