Tang Ya sat beside Tang Lan, occasionally serving him food as she softly spoke of several adjustments to the sect's internal affairs, as well as the various support efforts Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and the others had carried out in the rear.
Her voice was gentle and her thoughts were well organized. She had managed the Tang Sect's vast affairs in impeccable order.

They spoke of how they had coordinated with Xu Yu, the city lord of Rosette City, how they had tracked and hunted Evil Soul Master squads in the wilderness. Whenever they reached the perilous parts, the others could not help exclaiming in amazement.
Wang Qiuer sat on Tang Lan's other side. Watching the lively yet harmonious scene before her, watching Tang Lan chat and laugh so freely with everyone, his sharply defined profile appearing especially gentle beneath the lamplight, a warm smile rippled through her golden eyes as well.
The feeling of being surrounded by companions and striving toward a shared goal made her feel incomparably secure.
