Xiao Yu shot Xiao Ning a glare, as if blaming him for talking too much. Then she looked at Xiao Yao and said softly, "Xiao Yao, I'll leave it to you. And remember, if you run into that brat, make sure to lecture him. He actually made Instructor Ruo Lin bear the pressure of delaying things for another year.

Xiao Yu took an ordinary Storage Ring from her robes and placed it in Xiao Yao's hand. "Everything is already inside this Storage Ring. Keep it safe."
Xiao Yao put the Storage Ring away, then walked over to the empty chair beside Xun Er and sat down, chatting with them.
