"Please go ahead, Imperial Brother."
Xue Haicang wore a smile, seemingly in a wonderful mood.
"Here's the situation."
Xue Qinghe explained what they had discussed earlier to Xue Haicang, then concluded, "Sea God Island is a place to temper yourself. It would be good for you to train there as well. What do you think of this arrangement?"
