On the day of the funeral procession, the snow continued to fall. The Lin Clan’s young heroes carried the coffin slowly through the city gates.
Lin Qingluo, dressed in white mourning clothes, accompanied Third Lady Lin, walking at the forefront of the funeral procession.
The young girl stood tall, with a determined gaze and an intimidating air between her eyebrows, giving others the impression she was not to be underestimated.
As the funeral procession slowly left the city, the shops and restaurants in Capital City closed their doors, and the people spontaneously left their homes to follow the procession, expressing their respect for the hero.

Before he departed, the Lin siblings, along with all the other young children, saw him off outside the main gate.
Lin Jinxu led his horse, looked at his lovely little sister Yuxue, squatted down, opened his arms, and held her close.
“Little Qingluo, you are a Fortune Child, so let your second brother get some good luck from you before I leave.”
“Second Brother, you’re not even sixteen, do you really have to go now?”
Lin Qingluo’s heart was filled with indescribable bitterness, her eyes reddened involuntarily. fгeewebnovёl.com
“There won’t be much difference in just a few days, so I won’t wait.”
Lin Jinxu’s eyes dimmed, and he forced a bitter smile.
“Second Brother, be careful on the battlefield. Swords and spears have no eyes.”
Lin Qingluo fought the urge to cry, holding back the tears that welled up in her eyes.
She was afraid that crying would bring bad luck to her Second Brother.
