Chapter 32 Anxious Wait

• Prince Yun was left alone in the room as his inner conflict grew with each passing second. One part of him told him it was for the best, as this way, the gossipmongers' voices would reach his family's ears, and they would know he was okay. On the other hand, he didn't want to create an unnecessary scandal, especially when he felt pursued by diabolical beings threatening from all sides.
• "I'll have to wait for the universe to act as it sees fit. I need to get home soon," Yun said to himself as he lay down. "Besides... I hope I'll be allowed to see her. I need to find out everything not from a nurse's mouth but with my own eyes."
• As these thoughts swirled in his head, another one added to his torment. The uncertainty of whether it was he who failed in seeking the Fenghuang, or if his father was right and that legendary bird was nothing more than simple symbolism in which the people of China placed their faith.
