Han Ziqi was thick-skinned, entirely shedding his former gloom. Along the way, he cracked jokes and bought numerous trinkets for Ruyi. Neither Xie Xun nor Fengyu bothered to chase him away. Regardless of whether he came for business or some other reason, as long as he showed no malicious intent, and considering how much he bought for Ruyi, Xie Xun refrained from sulking any further.
Fengyu also intentionally inquired about Sannan, to which Han Ziqi answered every question. Whether his words were all true or not, it still provided Fengyu and Xie Xun with more insight into Sannan.
Its local customs, culinary culture, and so forth.
Xie Xun found one thing particularly intriguing and couldn't help but ask, "I heard there's a legend in Sannan: when soldiers go to the battlefield, they hang wooden prayer plaques on plum trees, and the Flower God will receive the prayers and grant their wishes—true or not?"
