After Zhou Qi and Zhou Jun left, the one who found it hardest to let go was Song Ge. Ever since he joined the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he spent every day with Zhou Jun, and the two of them had a great relationship. Moreover, unlike Ling Chen, he was a man of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and had to abide by its rules. With Zhou Jun gone, he feared there would be few chances to see him again. So, witnessing his friend being treated unfairly was undoubtedly the most distressing for him.
Ling Chen patted Song Ge's shoulder and comforted him, "Big Brother Song, don't overthink it. What's done is done; we can only look on the bright side."
"I know, it's just that... sigh, forget it. The more I talk about it, the angrier I get. Ling, it's getting late, and you should rest. I won't disturb you any further." With that, Song Ge stepped out and left the room.
...
The next day.
