The funeral was well-attended, and Su Jingqian had also made the journey to be there.
However, he was the last to arrive, and when he did, he came with nearly a hundred men as his escort.
Upon reaching the City Lord's Mansion, they prepared to bury the body in an open area at the back garden.
The servants of the City Lord's Mansion had dug a pit for the coffin, and the enormous mahogany casket was carried over; with combined efforts, they placed the coffin into the pit.
Standing nearby, Huang Kai wept inconsolably, nearly unable to stand.
After a moment of silence from Lu Chuan, people around him began to fill the grave with soil.
"It seems that the City Lord's last wish before his death was with Huang Kai's wellbeing in mind; if he were to leave the City Lord's Mansion now, I'm afraid he might encounter some accident."
"That's why they chose to bury him directly within the mansion; this way, there's no need to go out."
