Tulan raised her little head to look up at Lizhou, thinking, But Yu Xunge's Sharp Imperfection never truly hurt me.
She had always remembered what Yu Xunge had said: "This isn't your fault, nor is it my problem."
But Songgui's Imperfection...
Tulan hesitated. Other than hurting Lizhou's feelings, it really did not seem to have truly harmed her either?

Lizhou lowered her head and did not answer Tulan's question.
Tulan instantly regretted pressing her. She hurriedly said, "Let's start learning Super Filtration!"

Beisui, who had flown over to ask whether Tulan and Lizhou wanted to head back for a late-night snack: "..."
He did not want to snitch, but at this distance, Holy Grail
