After An Ning returned to Beijing, she first handled Tao Quan's affairs. Once his soul had dissipated, An Ning couldn't quite say whether she felt relieved or at peace.
She took her son, Baby, with her to choose a burial plot for Tao Quan. The Feng Shui was good, and the site was clean and tidy. This was probably what Tao Quan would have wanted.
After seeing Tao Quan off, An Ning settled into a routine.
Every morning, she would take Baby to gather pure energy and teach him Mysticism.
Once their morning Mysticism lesson was over, she would take Baby to school, not wanting him to miss out on a proper childhood. After dropping him off, she would then head to the research institute for work.
Every three days, An Ning would find time to visit the university—not to attend classes, but to lecture a group of professors.
