"Who was?" Meiling asked as she gracefully landed beside the girl.
"Xiang Yu," Xiuying replied, her voice tinged with disappointment.
"It's Grand Elder," Meiling corrected firmly, making sure to emphasize each syllable.
"Oki," Xiuying responded with a casual nod, though Meiling could clearly tell the correction hadn't truly registered.
Meiling released a weary sigh, reaching out to grasp Xiuying by her collar with a gentle tug.
"Give up on the Grand Elder," she instructed, her tone brooking no argument. "You and him are not compatible at all."
