After the incident at the teahouse, Ningguang gradually grew more composed, and her personality became increasingly versatile.
Under Xiu Yuan's guidance, she also became more familiar with the workings of people's hearts.
She grew ever better at recognizing the information hidden behind each glance and gesture.
During this time, she often accompanied Xiu Yuan, taking part in several commercial battles, confrontations over meals, negotiations, and deals.

Before she could put her plan into action.
The Vision began to shine with golden light.
