Molly lowered her head and wiped the water marks on the chair twice. She did not think much of it, assuming the color had faded when tea had splashed onto it, and casually wiped it clean.
Not long after, Luoxi returned carrying a thick ancient tome. Its pages were yellowed and covered in unfamiliar ancient writing.
