Lu Hong had planned to leave the day he dealt with Rao Xue's rebellion, but at Qing Ling's strong insistence, he reluctantly extended his stay a bit longer.
As for Kaif and those who rebelled, Qing Ling, with a benevolent heart, gave them another chance and emptied her coffers to let Kaila travel through the ancient and still-functional portal for a multi-day tour of the neighboring plane.
Upon returning from Jilianaxi, the first thing Kaila did was kowtow to apologize to Qing Ling, constantly slapping herself and calling herself inhuman.
When Kaila shared her observations, the outside prices, and other details, Kaif immediately knelt down, followed by all the Rao Xue residents, who also knelt and kowtowed, reconciling the two sides.
