Jiang Zheyu heard Shan Xun ask why she had come looking for him.
In truth, she didn't really feel like answering.
But out of politeness, she still spoke up. "I've finished purifying the Beastmen in that one lab, so I wanted to move on to the next. But the Beastman there said I can only go in after you give your permission."
Shan Xun paused when he heard her answer. He hadn't expected this to be the reason she'd sought him out.
'And here I was, thinking it was for some other reason. I'm definitely overthinking things.'
'Or was I hoping for something else?'
"I assigned you one laboratory, which means I intended for you to purify just that one for today," Shan Xun explained slowly. "Just one lab a day is enough. You don't need to overdo it."
Jiang Zheyu paused. 'I obviously have enough spiritual power to purify the Beastmen in several more labs. Is he just worried I'll overexert myself?'
