"Velin, I'm very sorry."
"It's all right. You should know that since the beginning of the expansion until now, I've been blocked at my door by Belder more times than I can count on one hand." Velin held his wife's hands and comforted her softly.
"Even if he hadn't come with you this time, he would have found some other way to track me down. Don't take it to heart."
"Ah..."

"If I had a few reliable people, I wouldn't have to hide from Belder every day."
Hearing her husband's words, Xuemiyya released Velin, took out a list from her Spatial Ring, and handed it to him. "I spent two months searching Qixing Territory for students. Help me see what you think."
Velin took the list from his wife and sat down on the soft leather sofa, reading it carefully.
Xuemiyya sat beside Velin and rested her head against his shoulder.
