On the way back, Nie Yun didn't push for speed, instead letting Xiaohu walk at a leisurely pace. A journey that should have taken ten minutes or so ended up taking over an hour.
Though their pace was slow, the unease brought on by the figure that had suddenly flooded his mind earlier gradually faded away.
He recalled those innocent eyes from his past life gradually vanishing before him, his own disappointment and despair, his voice growing hoarse from screaming, his heart being torn apart...
'I was so helpless back then, but now I've been reborn! Perhaps the regrets of my past can be made right in this life!'
At this thought, Nie Yun clenched his fists, a faint glint of excitement in his eyes.
'I have to increase my strength as quickly as possible. As long as I'm strong enough, even if I encounter... that again... I might be able to find a solution!'
His thirst for power growing more urgent, Nie Yun hurried back to the Nie Family estate.
