Ye Shikai mourns He Linghan in her tomb, accepting her death after two thousand years. He decides to rebury her coffin and create a cenotaph in Central Plains City to honor her roots. Ji Qian reflects on her past actions and Ye Shikai acknowledges the pain he caused her. The two return to Yanjing, with Ye Shikai agreeing to spend more time with his pregnant wife, Chen Yuxin, as advised by Ji Qian.

Chen family.

In the vast room, Chen Yuxin sat alone on the bed, looking at the photo in her hand. It was their wedding photo. In it, Ye Shikai showed no hint of a smile, his expression so calm that it was "frightening." In contrast, Chen Yuxin was smiling brightly. Marriage was a result, but she was the only one who was ever happy.

Tightly holding the photo to her chest, Chen Yuxin fell into intense agony. After their marriage, Ye Shikai had always been cold towards her. Some time ago, he vanished, and Chen Yuxin worried herself sleepless for several nights. Now he finally returned, yet was even colder to her, and they couldn’t even sit down for a proper meal together.

At this moment, Chen Ruoya hurried in. Chen Yuxin had already ordered that no one should enter, so Chen Ruoya’s haste signaled something "important."

"Family Head, the young master has returned," reported Chen Ruoya.

"What did you say?" Chen Yuxin asked, leaping up from the bed in excitement. Before she could react, Ye Shikai had already pushed open the door and entered.

"Young master, I will take my leave," Chen Ruoya knew the situation, and wouldn’t stick around as a "third wheel." This was Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin’s private space, so she quickly left after speaking.

"Kai, you’ve returned," Chen Yuxin said excitedly, rushing up to him. Ye Shikai stood in place, allowing Chen Yuxin to embrace him tightly.

"Yes, I’m back," Ye Shikai said calmly, gently patting Chen Yuxin’s back. Her whole body trembled; Ye Shikai’s shoulder began to feel damp from her tears.

He Linghan’s death was a heavy blow to Ye Shikai, but during his time in the tomb, Ye Shikai had come to terms with it. His encounter with He Linghan was in itself an accident. A happy ending would have been good, but things had developed as they had, and he had nothing further to say. He Linghan had slept in that cold tomb for over two thousand years, so Ye Shikai’s yearning and attachment should settle into dust.

"Kai, don’t leave this time, okay?" Chen Yuxin cried, sounding very distressed. She truly had suffered during this period.

"I will stay by your side this time, I won’t leave again," Ye Shikai softly whispered in her ear.

"Really?" Chen Yuxin asked, tearily joyful, as the two embraced tightly.

"Really, I will be by your side."

After returning to Yanjing, Ye Shikai began living an ordinary life. Other than residing in the luxurious Chen family mansion, his actions were no different from a normal person. Despite being in his twenties, he had gone through experiences others hadn’t, including spending two years in ancient times. Suddenly "back on track," he found himself somewhat unaccustomed.

Chen Yuxin was pregnant, and as her husband, it was only natural for him to accompany and care for her. Though it wasn’t necessary for him to be by her side constantly, as the Chen family had many attendants to take care of her. Ye Shikai returned as an instructor to Dragon Teeth. During his disappearance, not only had the Three Temples been searching for him, but Ouyang Feng and Dragon Teeth team members also looked for him, although as a special ops unit, they always faced missions and found no clues.

"Oh, it’s Instructor Ye." Upon arriving at the Dragon Teeth base and entering the training hall, Ye Shikai encountered an old acquaintance.

"Wen Ya, what a coincidence," Ye Shikai greeted the approaching person with a wave of his hand.

"I should be the one saying that. I heard you were missing recently. Everyone was trying to find you. Where were you?" Wen Ya asked curiously.

"Well, it’s a long story, so many unimaginable things happened in between. I can’t sum them up in a few words, so let’s talk another day," Ye Shikai found an excuse to evade the question.

"You’re looking for the team members, right?"

"Yeah, why aren’t they here?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"The training area has moved, it’s no longer here. I’m heading there now, we can go together," Wen Ya said lightly.

"Alright."

Wen Ya found an SUV. Ye Shikai wanted to drive it himself, but she beat him to it.

"The team members are now training in the rear mountain. In the months you were away, a new training base was built there," Wen Ya explained.

"Aren’t you supposed to be in clerical work? Can you handle driving an SUV?" Ye Shikai replied.

"I almost forgot to tell you. I’m now a technician for Dragon Teeth, speaking of which, I’m also part of Dragon Teeth now. I can not only drive, but even pilot a plane," Wen Ya said proudly, revealing her armband, which indeed was Dragon Teeth’s.

"I didn’t expect you to join Dragon Teeth, how come Ouyang didn’t tell me?" Ye Shikai asked, somewhat surprised, but then realized he hadn’t notified Ouyang Feng about his return yet.

"We’ll talk more later, we’re almost there." Wen Ya pointed ahead, as the SUV cut through a patch of bushes, arriving at what she called the "new training base."

Looking at the base before him, Ye Shikai felt excited. They had built another training base in the rear mountain, and it looked even bigger.

"There are quite a few training areas here, and a place for storing weapons in the back. Do you want to take a look?" Wen Ya introduced.

"No need, I’ll go find the team members directly."

"You’ve been gone so long, suddenly returning, they’ll definitely be excited."

.....................

The next day.

Everyone was very excited to see Ye Shikai again, especially Ouyang Feng, who had been constantly searching for clues. To modern people, someone who had time-traveled back meant a "dead person," vanished into thin air, virtually impossible to find. Unexpectedly, Ye Shikai had returned on his own.

"Captain, it’s so great that you’re back." Ouyang Feng said excitedly, "Where have you been these months? We couldn’t find you alive or dead."

"Alright, let’s talk more later," Ye Shikai of course couldn’t be honest. Not everyone would believe a time-travel story.

"I have something to do, see you next week."

"Alright."

During the time Ye Shikai disappeared, many people worried for him and some helped him. Now that he was back, he should pay them a visit.

Police station.

"Ting, someone is here to see you at the door."

Zhang Ting walked out of the office, finding Ye Shikai waiting for her in the lobby.

"Why are you here, kid?" Zhang Ting greeted him with a punch to his chest, quite manly.

"Is there something you need, quickly say it. I’ve been busy with cases, I don’t have much time spare."

"Why? Can’t I just come to see you?" Ye Shikai said lightly. "Last time in Linxian, I didn’t get to properly thank you."
