Yuan Mobai and Shangguan Ning both nodded. "That's very kind of you, General Xiao."
Thereafter, Yuan Mobai mostly accompanied them, leaving Shangguan Ning to lead the conversation.
At Dragon Tiger Mountain, Shangguan Ning had always been primarily responsible for such matters.
After discussing official matters, Xiao Xueting asked with concern, "Elder Shangguan, how is your health now?"
Shangguan Ning smiled. "Xue Ting, rest assured. Though I still need to recuperate, I'm no longer in serious danger. I'll be fine as long as I don't engage in combat."
Between questions and answers, the atmosphere grew even more relaxed.
Xiao Xueting said, "Dragon Tiger Mountain has experienced such great turmoil. I hope everything will clear up now that the storm has passed."
Shangguan Ning nodded. "Indeed."
Xiao Xueting then said, "Forgive my boldness for asking, but regarding the future of Dragon Tiger Mountain..."
Her question was also, in effect, on behalf of the Empress.
