By Chance

Not long after Shi Lan finished her exercises, Su Lanyue arrived with breakfast.

As Shi Lan ate, Su Lanyue cautiously asked where she had been for nearly two years.

Shi Lan concealed some details and told Su Lanyue that she had joined the Demon Suppression Army.

After hearing this, Su Lanyue stared silently for a long while at the black Demon Suppression Token Shi Lan had taken out. Shi Tianlu's token had been black as well, so she naturally understood what it meant.
