During dinner, Han Jing, with her aching waist, instructed Lianwu and Lan Ling on what to be mindful of within the Xia Clan, especially emphasizing to Lianwu to keep a close watch on Xiao Xue and absolutely not let her run around recklessly.
After all, one couldn't really be sure who was a friend or foe in this place.
In the Holy Maiden Palace, Ling Yue could see that from the moment Xia Ji entered, she hadn't been happy. She shut herself in a room and didn't come out even for dinner.
Ling Yue hesitated for a long while, yet still knocked on the door: "Xia'er?"
It was a good while later before Xia Ji opened the door, but she seemed to have no intention of coming out.
"Do you have any wine with you?" Just as Ling Yue was about to ask what was wrong with Xia Ji, she suddenly asked.
Ling Yue nodded.
"Come in." Xia Ji's expression was calm, very unlike her usual self.
Ling Yue walked in, closed the door, and took out the wine from his space artifact.
