Xu Qingtong patted Dongfang Hui's delicate hand and said softly, "I'm fine! I'm just a little saddened by Master's death!"
Not far from the Azure Sea Gate, after they left it behind, there was a small town. Xu Qingtong landed the Flying Boat outside the town, turned to Dongfang Hui, and said, "Hui'er, let me take you for wontons!"
