Space-Time Bureau.
The Diligent Governance Hall with simple decor.
A man in dark brocade and splendid attire, his features exceedingly handsome, slowly unfurled his slender fingers, revealing a Jade Pendant lying quietly in his palm.
The man's palm slightly trembled, and his face, long accustomed to being expressionless and cold as frost, showed a hint of emotion.
Beside him, an attendant bowed to offer congratulations.
"The return of the Jade Pendant marks the completion of your mission. Congratulations, Xianshen, on successfully overcoming the tribulation!"
The man addressed as Xianshen slowly tightened his grasp on the Jade Pendant, lifted his narrow eyes towards the attendant, and his thin lips moved slightly, "If the mission is completed, why hasn't the soul returned?"
If his own soul had returned, he would have sensed it.
Besides his soul, there was hers.
This was the agreement made in the beginning.
