After Chianxu had left, silence returned to the corridor. Hueng Long stood alone for a long time before returning to his room again.
At the moment, he was sitting in a chair, his gaze lowered slightly, deep in thought.
"I cannot wait any longer…" he muttered to himself. "The Young Master must first understand his path before accepting the inheritance… That was our plan." His jaw tightened. "But now that all eight families know about him… obstacles will come endlessly."
His eyes darkened. "He may even die before he walks his true path."
A long breath escaped his lips. "No. I cannot let that happen."
His voice turned firm. "I must deliver the blood essence to him myself."
Without hesitation, Hueng stood up and then walked outside. He then headed toward the Grand Library.
It didn't take him long to reach there.
The Grand Library was silent as always.
Hueng did not stop at the lower floors. He walked directly to the fifth floor, the highest floor.
