Mo Yinhe accompanied his mother, Ye Xinguang, to the Quan Family.
Before Mo Yinhe gained real power, Atlantis was managed by a temporary joint government composed of one elder from each of the six top-tier families.
The elder of the Quan Family was named Quan Ji; he was Quan Yong's grandfather.
Ye Xinguang went to the Quan Family to offer condolences and saw Elder Quan. "Elder Quan," she said, "for the old to bury the young is a great sorrow. Please, try to bear your grief."
Overnight, Elder Quan's hair had turned completely white. Quan Yong had been the Quan Family's most promising grandson. He died without a trace, universally reviled, and even his funeral had to be a subdued affair. Elder Quan was grief-stricken, his sorrow too profound to voice.
"It was his own doing," Elder Quan said, his voice heavy, "a destined end he couldn't escape."
