At dusk.
A group left Black Sand City, heading deeper into the desert under the blazing sunset.
Que'er, Liu Tang, and others watched Zhou Yu depart.
Even when Zhou Yu and his companions completely vanished into the desert, Que'er still was unwilling to return.
Seeing this, Liu Tang advised:
"Miss, let's go back."
Que'er's eyes carried a hint of sorrow as she said:
"Mr. Liu, when do you think Young Master Zhou and his party will return?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tang's eyes slightly narrowed, and he shook his head, saying:
"Miss, don't think about him anymore."
"When it's time for him to come back, he will!"
"Even if he doesn't return, it's normal."
Que'er's body trembled; she turned to look at Liu Tang.
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by that?"
Liu Tang smiled bitterly.
"Miss, don't overthink it. I was just speaking casually."
