Shang Ruyi looked at his noticeably deeper eyes and said with a faint smile, "Alright."
So, the two turned around and walked back.
As they walked out of the giant wooden door, Shang Ruyi glanced back at the silent grain warehouse, a place that could manipulate so many hearts across the world. At this moment, it lay as peaceful as it was initially, yet in such silence, who knows how many surging undercurrents stir in places unseen.

Shang Ruyi had nowhere else to go, so naturally, she could only return to the previous courtyard. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuansui had his own matters to attend to and needed to avoid Lu Yong, so it was clear he had to go elsewhere—the two should part ways here.
However, when they reached the door, Shang Ruyi's steps slowed.
