Su Ruan walked to his side, pulling him to sit down.
"Brother Lu, you look quite unwell."
Su Ruan touched his forehead; it was icy, not like he had a fever.
Lu Shinian grasped her hand tightly, voice tinged with hoarseness, "I'm fine."
He reached out to pull Su Ruan into his embrace, asking, "Do you feel bored?"
Su Ruan looked up, a hint of concern in her delicate brows, "Not bored, it's quite interesting."
"Brother Lu, you seem to be in a bad state, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
After a pause, she leaned closer, almost to Lu Shinian's ear, lowering her voice to almost a whisper.
"Ancestral Stage?"
Just two words, and he already understood her meaning.
Lu Shinian shook his head, chuckling softly.
"Not at all, thanks to that Level 3 Energy Stone, I'm quite stable now."
"Barring any accidents, I should pass safely through this half-month."
Relieved it wasn't the Ancestral Stage, Su Ruan nodded, "That's good."
