The Quest for Immortality - Chapter 18: Choices

The Bulwark Duke’s residence had fallen. On the day of the duke’s son’s wedding, all men in the family were imprisoned. In just three days, the patriarch and duke died. What was originally a joyful occasion became a depressing funeral.

Shen Yuqing and the Emperor had a secret arrangement––
