He Danping wiped her tears while packing some tasty dry food for her, then said, "From now on, you must practice diligently... Don't make your father angry again. When you're alone in Mingxia Cave, don't let your thoughts wander or be afraid, your mother will surely fetch you down soon."
Xuanji nodded in silence, agreeing.
Linglong quickly arranged her loose hair into pigtails and said childishly, "Xuanji, don't be scared. I'll come to the cave to keep you company in a couple of days! Just wait for me! I'll take care of you."
