Su Liang's days in the Mid-hill Villa were quiet and leisurely.
Besides giving Nangong Qian acupuncture and chatting about the outside world each day, Su Liang spent her time with Gu Ling. Whether they were climbing mountains to watch the sunrise and sunset or going into the city to watch plays and listen to music, she found happiness in these activities.
After expressing admiration and fascination for Gu Ling during their initial encounter, Nangong Qian had grown closer to Su Liang. Gu Ling seldom appeared before Nangong Qian, and she never actively asked about him.
At one point, Nangong Lin sparred with Gu Ling and acknowledged that Gu Ling's skills had vastly outgrown his own as a master.
In this manner, six days passed. Nangong Qian no longer coughed up blood, and her cough symptoms had noticeably eased. Her spirit was improved, and Su Liang raised the matter of her departure with Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin was surprised, "Do you have to leave so soon?"
