After leaving the Main Palace, Zheng Liang and Yang Ning returned to the Dragon Pavilion. On their way back, Zheng Liang remained silent, lost in deep thought, still processing the news his Father had dropped on him. The revelation that the son of the woman he despises the most, Zheng Xiang, would return next week left him in disbelief.

Everything is happening so quickly that he can't believe whether it's real or a dream. He hasn't seen that child in years, and just like he has grown up, Zheng Xiang must have also become a fine man by now. After all, even though Zheng Liang is the elder one, there is only a one-year gap between the two brothers.
