"What is it?"
The man lowered his head and reported back, "There's news about the woman you're looking for, and it seems she's right under this troupe. Elder Su of the Sword Sect is by her side."
The refined middle-aged man's expression finally changed. He nodded slightly, then gently formed an orchid finger gesture with his right hand before him and sang softly in a theatrical tune, "Amidst ordinary faces, none compare to the fragrance of Lady Xiang alone... Of one alone..."

The troupe dispersed. Su Bei held the still softly weeping Sword Maiden in his arms, patting her smooth back.
She was a woman whose fate was fraught with hardships, but now that she has become my disciple, I will gradually help her forget those past sorrows.
Su Bei led her into a candied fruit shop. When they came out, Sword Maiden was holding a large gift box—the gift Su Bei had prepared for Key Smoke.
After all, meeting that woman empty-handed... wouldn't be polite.
