Late at night.
After Chu Mu saw him off, a drunken Xie Cangfeng staggered out of the tavern.
He paused at the tavern's entrance, watching Xie Cangfeng leave. Only after his friend's figure had vanished from sight did Chu Mu slowly look away.
'Perhaps... he doesn't have much time left?'
He glanced up at the dark sky, a sudden guess forming in his mind.
They hadn't seen each other in over a year, but Xie Cangfeng's words and actions showed he had become a completely different person.
He used to be a man of few words, always weighing each one with extreme care.
This time, however, he was dissolute and cynical.
If he hadn't confirmed that Xie Cangfeng's Divine Soul Aura remained unchanged, he would have seriously suspected that his friend had fallen victim to Possession.
It was somewhat plausible that Xie Cangfeng couldn't accept the heavy blow from the Xie Family's recent calamity.
