"Because you feed me better."
Qinghe groaned playfully.
"You two are dangerous to single people."
Ning Shuyue calmly took a piece of fruit and held it to Qinghe's mouth.
Qinghe paused.
Then she smiled.
"See? We can do it too."
Ning Shuyue quietly said, "You were complaining."
"I was making a point."
"Fine."
Su Yubing smiled.
"You four are going to give me a headache."
Mo Yuxin looked at her.
"Then I will massage it."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you will use too much force."
"I can be gentle."
Su Yubing gave her a skeptical look.
"You broke a stone chair yesterday by leaning on it."
Mo Yuxin defended herself.
"It was old."
Everyone laughed.
The afternoon was nearly perfect.
Then a messenger arrived.
He carried the insignia of the Battle Maiden Sect.
He bowed to Ye Qinglan's absent companions, but the message itself was addressed to Su Lian.
Su Lian read it.
Her face changed.
Ruyan immediately noticed.
"What happened?"
Su Lian handed her the jade slip.
