In the afternoon, the Qin Family sisters saw the two professors working tirelessly in the fields. They seemed to be having the time of their lives, but they didn't even have a proper place to rest.
After thinking it over, the sisters offered to build an earthen house for the professors to use as a temporary rest spot.
Wei Heng went over to help as well. His Earth Ability was unusable, so he couldn't assist with construction, but he could certainly help tidy up the place.
Gu Xi had originally intended to go too.
But the others saw her thin limbs and pale face. She looked so frail she might be blown over by a gust of wind, so they tactfully but firmly turned down her offer.
Gu Xi didn't insist. She stood outside watching them work for a while, then slowly returned to her room.
Lying on the bed, she casually tapped the tender leaves of the little green sprout and began her habitual review of the morning's events.
