Fengyu found Xie Xun sitting on the rooftop in Salt City, drinking. After she mentioned she was going to the Twelve States, Xie Xun left the study and stopped participating in the discussions. Fengyu and Xie Jue discussed the details in the study for nearly two hours. As time went on, Fengyu seemed increasingly distracted, while Xie Jue became more energized, wanting to sit down for a long talk about a three-to-five-year plan. Noticing her absent-mindedness, the efficiency-oriented Second Young Master sent Fengyu to find Xie Xun.
Nuanyang whispered a complaint, "Master drank an entire jar of wine."
Fengyu furrowed her brows. Xie Xun was gravely injured and hadn't yet healed, and the doctor had strictly prohibited alcohol. Salt City, being in the northern territory, favored strong liquor. Fengyu had tried a few sips of sorghum wine—it was overwhelmingly strong.
