Chapter 1779: He Is Still There! He’s Back!
Gu Xijiu began to feel anxious and panicked. That was the first time she felt so worried in her life. Her heart was racing all day and she could barely focus or do anything about it. It was frustrating to be in that position.
Luckily, Luo Zhanyu reminded her, "Xijiu, do you want to pay your respects to His Majesty at the royal mausoleum?"
Gu Xijiu was shocked. "His Majesty!?"
Luo Zhanyu looked a little depressed. "Yeah, our emperor has passed away. His coffin has been transported back to be buried. Do you want to go since both of you were once very close friends...?"
Gu Xijiu immediately stood up. "Yes, let’s go!"
...
It was frequently raining during the festival of Qingming. Countless people were walking on the street as if they were going to leave this world out of sheer sadness. It was drizzling as the Qingming festival was just around the corner. Gu Xijiu was idling as she fixed her eyes at the tombstone in front of the royal mausoleum.
Rong Jialuo had a relatively high spiritual power. Perhaps, he did not expect himself to have such a short lifespan because he did not build a mausoleum for himself in advance. Therefore, this one was built in a hurry.
Rong Jialuo was once her good friend who treated her genuinely. She did not expect him to have this kind of ending. He not only lost his physical body but his souls were all destroyed as well. He could never be reborn and what was buried inside was just an unconscious shell.
Gu Xijiu was extremely depressed as she stood in front of the tombstone. Although it was drizzling, she did not use an umbrella or initiate any spells. She just let the rain fall on her hair and clothes.
