Sun Jing gently comforted her granddaughter with a few soft words. Then, turning to Fang Bai, she said, "I am about to open the furnace to refine elixirs. You will follow me to the Elixir Hall and assist me in guarding the pill furnace. Hmm, I've already spoken to Elder Wu about this. Let's go."
After speaking, she didn't wait for Fang Bai's response, supporting her granddaughter Sun Lin as she walked ahead.
Fang Bai opened his mouth, intending to say something, but upon seeing Sun Lin's frail figure from behind, he shook his head with a smile and followed after them.
Sun Jing escorted her granddaughter back to the small bamboo hut where she resided. After ensuring she was lying down to rest, she gave her a few careful instructions before heading towards the Elixir Hall with Fang Bai.
On the way, Sun Jing casually inquired about Fang Bai's progress in cultivation. Fang Bai responded evasively with a few vague words.
