Outside the shed, the sound of the wind "whooshing" can be heard.
Inside the shed, after a restrained coughing fit, there is a moment of silence. The person sitting on the stone waits until their breathing stabilizes before looking up, awaiting an answer.
Liu Ji changes out of his wet clothes and says in a low voice, "The eldest lady is in Dai State, not too far from here. If you want to see her, I can think of a way... You don't know how formidable the eldest lady has become now. If she knew... you were here, she would certainly be delighted. Haven't you thought about... reuniting with the eldest lady?"
Upon hearing this, the man lifts his head. A ray of light falls on his face through the shed, revealing sunken eyes and a face indescribably haggard, with a long scar on his neck.
Xie Shao Yuan, his voice rendered particularly hoarse due to the injury on his neck, asks, "What does she look like now?"
