Zhou Huaijin withdrew his hands and composed himself. Speaking calmly, he turned around and said, "Let's carry on with our usual tasks. Sword One, focus on your swordsmanship training as well. If you don't work hard, you may struggle to protect her in the future."
A tinge of sadness could be heard in Zhou Huaijin's voice as he uttered those words.
Sword One nodded in understanding.
The two of them returned to the hotel without encountering any disturbances.
Lingyun and Fu Bao were patiently awaiting their return.
Lingyun had just completed the refining of a pill furnace. Although her progress wasn't exceptionally fast, the process had been smooth.
With a smile, she intended to show her accomplishment to Gu Chaoyan, but to her surprise, she noticed the absence of their Elder Miss.
"Where is Elder Miss?" Lingyun inquired, puzzled by her sudden disappearance.
