Before long.
Led by a disciple of the Breaking Clan, Zhu Zhuqing entered the hall and sat down beside Chen Xi.
"How do you feel?"
Chen Xi looked at the returning Zhu Zhuqing with a smile on his lips.
"Much better."

"If you're not in a hurry, stay for a few days first. We can leave together then."
Chen Xi placed the pastries beside him in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
"Thank you."
"I'll leave with you then."
"It'll be a good chance to completely recover from my injuries over the next few days."
Zhu Zhuqing picked up a pastry and carefully chewed it.
Chen Xi smiled and continued talking with Zhu Zhuqing, quietly drawing closer to her.
Yang Wushuang sat upright in his seat, silently watching Chen Xi and Zhu Zhuqing as they spoke.

Yang Wudi returned to the hall, carrying two bottles of fine wine in his hands.
"I've already sent people to deliver messages to Old Rhinoceros and Bai He. We should receive their replies in three to five days."
"I've also had a banquet prepared, along with two rare bottles of good wine. Let's enjoy the feast first. Wushuang,
