Inside her allocated room in the eldest prince's manor, Lin Xulian is absentmindedly looking outside her window. She is thinking about Xing Guang's warnings and conditions before going to the Qiangdu country, specifically in the Gu clan's village. According to him she needs to go alone. Which means she needs to ask her big brother Rui to stay behind or just return to An valley with the other members of the Lin clan.
Lin Xulian doesn't know how to tell her brother to convince him. And she also knows that it would be hard since she will be going to an unknown territory. Knowing how overprotective her brothers are, she would surely need a lot of explanation to give. She could only sigh in exhaustion.
