"There's no rush. It won't be too late to start tomorrow," said Tuoba Gucheng, who thought that it would be alright even if things remained as they were.
Tuoba Rui looked at An Xiaoning and asked, "I heard that you were the one who saved Gucheng on the mountains and even got wounded during the process. Is that true?"
"Yes," An Xiaoning answered, looking down at the ground.
"Has Gucheng rewarded you yet?"
An Xiaoning glanced at Tuoba Gucheng and answered, "Yes, he already has."
"What did he reward you with?"
"Well…" An Xiaoning did not expect Tuoba Rui to ask for further details. Thus, she answered, "He knows that I adore lilies so he gave me a pot of lilies."
A look of astonishment formed on Tuoba Rui's face, and Shi Xiaoyu was just as bewildered.
"Didn't he reward you with money?"
"She said that she was merely performing her duties and thus did not want any money…" said Tuoba Gucheng.
