Xiao Yanyi was not in the mansion and happened to run into Fourth Master Xiao returning from outside. After a chat, Fourth Master Xiao, contrary to his usual aloof detachment, enthusiastically told First Master that they should wait for two days, a result would naturally emerge!
Sure enough, two days later, though it was unclear what means Fourth Master Xiao used, Second Master's exile of two thousand miles was reduced to two hundred miles, with the departure scheduled for half a month later... Xiqiu didn't need to delve into the Great Zhou Geography, as the two hundred miles of exile to the south didn't even reach Dengzhou.
In any case, this was already the best outcome, and Second Master could be considered to have narrowly escaped death.
