"Are we going to Shang Continent?"
Long after the scandal from the Budur Ancient Clan had passed, Xiao Se received this news from Mother. It was truly an exceedingly rare trip.
"After all, Shang Jun keeps saying that the current share of pills under his charge differs quite a bit from the actual demand. We can't completely ignore it. Still, I need to go and judge it with my own eyes, don't I?"
Yao Wan said it mildly.
"But then again, it's only because I happened to want to go out for a stroll. After all, talking your mother into it isn't exactly easy."
"So? What do you think? Want to come out with us for a walk?"
"Elder Sister is about to wake soon. I think maybe I should..."
"I think bringing this boy along is fine too."
Medusa folded her arms, directly cutting off Xiao Se's idea of staying in Endless Fire Territory.
"You can hole yourself up in Endless Fire Territory for more than ten years without making a sound or a bit of movement. You're clearly someone who likes getting involved, yet in the end you're unexpectedly good at keeping yourself bottled up."
"Mother..."
Xiao Se lowered his eyes. When it came to his own elders, he really did not have much confidence to argue back.
"But if you truly don't want to go, of course no one will force you. It's simply that you seem rather idle lately. They say stillness breeds the urge to move. I originally thought the disturbance at the Budur Ancient Clan would make you a little more interested in the outside world."
Yao Wan propped her chin up in boredom and then spoke.
"It was only a brief wait. To me, it wasn't that hard to endure."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk.
