Five days later, at dusk.
Outside the courtyard of the Cloud Sea Residence, a full-length mirror quietly opened, and a group of people emerged one after another.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Lu Ran, supporting his buzzing head, looked a bit unwell. "Go back and rest well."
The group understood that the Sect Leader's mental state was not good, so they did not linger and left hastily.
Lu Ran turned around and opened the courtyard door, just in time to see Jiang Ruyi coming out to greet him.
"You're back... oh." Jiang Ruyi quickly extended her hand.
A coolness embraced her.
Lu Ran leaned forward, nestling into Jiang Xian'er's arms, his face buried in her neck.
Jiang Ruyi instinctively glanced into the distance, seeing the Divine Generals walking away faster than one another.
Without a glance back.
Only then did Jiang Ruyi slightly turn her head, softly asking:
"Are you hurt?"
