"No matter how things were in the past, we've now entered a very critical period. Lian, you have to admit, this has come faster than we expected. What does this indicate? It means those old men are starting to lose patience, doesn't it? It also means something is about to happen."
Lian nodded understandingly. The Middle Eastern affair had always been a thorn for those newcomers, especially for Xiao Lin. However, upon returning to Yanjing, he encountered too many troubles and had yet to truly address the issue there.
"Xiaoxue, listen to what Qing Yi says, don't go near Xiao Mu. No matter what he says, don't listen to him, understand?"
Xia Xue nodded numbly; she couldn't afford to do anything that would drag down Xiao Lin. "I understand, I will take good care of myself, don't worry."
Lian glanced at Xia Xue with suspicion. "Xiao Lang will be back next week, so for the next few days, stay in Xia Garden. It's safer there."
