Outside the majestic Royal City in The Capital, experts gathered like clouds, and the prides of heaven convened.
"What's wrong? You look so listless."
By the time Si Lanyi and her three companions arrived, Ning Xuan was already there. Seeing Ning Xuan's state, Si Lanyi asked with concern.

Before he even knew what was happening, he had passed out. Thankfully, his Mental State had been honed in the Blunt Stone Tower; otherwise, it would have surely collapsed upon waking.
Beside him, Zhongli Ruoruo asked, "Why didn't your senior sister come?"
Ning Xuan gave a casual excuse. "She said walking her dog is more fun than fighting and killing."
"So, you're Ning Xuan?"
