No matter what the truth behind Tao Yao's departure was, Yue Ling only knew that when she left, her feelings were half sorrow and half relief.
Tao Yao had lived with them for decades, and, no matter what, they had developed some affection.
Her departure truly saddened her.
But when she thought about how her departure meant that no one would bother her master anymore and that Yue Hu would no longer be gloomy, she felt relieved again.
Yue Ling secretly despised herself for thinking that she treated Tao Yao as her own senior sister.
In her heart, it was still more important for her master and Yue Hu...
It was better that she left, as people would eventually part ways anyway. Leaving now might mean that Tao Yao wouldn't sink deeper and become more tormented...
But Yue Ling was wrong; she thought that Tao Yao would gradually forget about her master.
