During these days on Zhangwei Mountain, Xu Chunniang's life had briefly settled into peace. Each day, she leafed through books on formations and chatted with Little White for a while. It had its own quiet charm.
But she knew perfectly well that such days would not last long. Leisure had never been a necessity to her.

For the past five months, Girl Xu had been in a truce period. With this extra source of income gone, Elder Gong had always felt that something was missing.
