Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao prepared to set out for the Secret Realm, as the morning breeze gently swept by.
They stood in front of the Xue Family's gate.
Xue Zhao came out, glanced around, and asked, "Huh, why hasn't Xiao Xiao come?"
Ye Qingchen paused slightly, his expression a bit complicated, but he quickly concealed his inner turmoil and said calmly, "Xiao Xiao is feeling a bit unwell and is not convenient to come for now."
Xiao Xiao indeed seemed off, but there was nothing to do but wait until he returned to ask more.
Xue Zhao nodded, though she had some doubts, she didn't press further.
She knew if Ye Qingchen didn't want to say more, he must have his reasons.
"Since Xiao Xiao isn't going, someone needs to look after him at the Xue Family, so let Xue Feng stay behind with Xiao Xiao." Xue Zhao looked at Xue Feng behind her.
Xue Feng nodded.
Ye Qingchen did not object.
