As the man and the girl made their way from the kitchen back to the courtyard near the rear hill, the sun shone brilliantly and a breeze brushed over them, adding to the content atmosphere.
Ji Xiuran sat down in the courtyard and picked up a classic text again, slowly reading it. On the other hand, Worriless Nie was sitting next to Ji Xiuran, occasionally looking at him.
"Is the book that interesting?" Worriless Nie asked.
"It can't match up to one ten-thousandth of you," Ji Xiuran casually responded.
Before the girl could say anything else, Ji Xiuran set the book down. "The proceedings of the Fearless Alliance don't seem to be going smoothly."
The girl was silent.
Indeed, the Fearless Alliance was facing a great hurdle and had crossed some long-established major factions, so they were literally surviving in the cracks.
"It's nothing. Things are going rather smoothly, actually." The girl forced a smile.
