Ruan Lan had gotten used to it. She hummed and hawed, no longer bickering with her niece, and instead held the chessboard Formation, constantly thinking about how to revitalize the Star Origin Sect.

Xu Lai let out a weary breath. "Are you heading to bed?"
Ruan Tang shook her head. "Don't mind me. You focus on your work."
"Hmm."
