Seeing Li Hao's frank smile, Li Wushuang fell into a slight daze.
Apart from that single expression of concern, she suddenly felt they were strangers-or rather, they had never been close.
So much so that after exchanging pleasantries, they had nothing else to say.
By blood, they were clearly cousins, with her the elder...
Yet in terms of their relationship, even the Sandalwood Palace disciples around them seemed more naturally at ease with Li Hao than she was.
After a brief silence, Li Wushuang recalled her father's words and the looming dangers in Liang Prefecture. She immediately transmitted her voice:

"If there's a chance, I hope we can meet again in Qing Prefecture," she said softly.
