"Ruoxuan, you're back..."
Seeing Ning Ruoxuan return, Lin Qingzhu, who was sitting in the living room chatting and laughing with Zhu Xiyan, looked up and smiled.
Zhu Xiyan also greeted her with a smile.
Neither of them knew what had happened to Ning Ruoxuan earlier.
Ning Ruoxuan didn't intend to tell them, either. She smiled in response, then asked, "By the way, Sister Qingzhu, Xiao Yan, has my brother come out of seclusion?"
"Not yet. Why?"
Lin Qingzhu answered, then asked curiously.
Ning Wangshu had been in seclusion for over a year, and Ning Ruoxuan knew that very well. Besides, she'd only gone to school that morning to attend her graduation ceremony and collect her diploma.
Since she'd just gotten back and suddenly asked about him, Lin Qingzhu couldn't help feeling surprised.
Ning Ruoxuan smiled and casually replied, "Oh, it's nothing. I was just asking."
Seeing that Ning Ruoxuan said no more, Lin Qingzhu didn't press her.

Although he'd practiced both Weapon Technique and Dou Technique over the past year, he'd devoted more of his effort to Weapon Technique.
After all, he was waiting to master it so he could try to refine the wisp of Solar True Fire he'd collected earlier and the wing he'd severed from Susanoo-no-Mikoto together with the Xuantian Divine
