Clutching her mother's sleeve, Ha Mi whispered, "Elder Brother, what is going on?"
Ha Tuo watched until Fan Wanming and his team vanished from sight, then shook his head. "Let's go in and sleep. If something happens, we will hear of it tomorrow."
Knowing it was useless to worry over the unknown, Ha Mi nodded. Supporting her mother, she said, "Mother, let's go inside."
While Ha Tuo and his family returned to sleep, Gui Ying sat on top of the watchtower on the western city wall.
Leisurely fanning himself, he watched Fan Wanming and the others disappear into the night. Tilting his head back, he gazed at the star-filled sky.
A moment later, his brows lifted slightly. With a hint of surprise, he murmured, "Oh… the course of fate has changed. Besides the Gui Clan, there is actually someone who can alter fate and time."
"Things are getting more interesting." Snapping his folding fan shut, Gui Ying pondered for a moment.
