A Xin looked An Xi up and down. She saw no obvious injuries, but still asked, "Xixi, are you all right?"
An Xi shook her head. "I'm fine. Just a few minor injuries, and they've already healed. I used up a bit of mental power, but not that much."

"Where... where did they go?"
Hearing that, Xingzi remembered
