Lixia and Liqiu were bewildered. "An old friend?"
Ding Xiang scanned the surroundings and spotted Qiao Xuan. With a cheerful smile, she waved her hands and called out, "Madam Shao! Madam Shao!"
Her melodic voice confirmed her identity as a woman.
Qiao Xuan looked up and recognized her. Stunned.
"You are—"
Ding Xiang spared Qiao Xuan the guessing game. Lifting her head, she beamed with a bright smile. "Madam Shao, I am Ding Xiang from Shaoding Village. You visited me that night and brought me food!"
"Ding Xiang!" Qiao Xuan echoed Shao Yunduan's surprise, nearly bursting with excitement. "Ding Xiang! I knew you would be alright! I had a feeling back then! I never expected this!"
Ding Xiang chuckled and nodded emphatically. "Yes! I'm perfectly fine!"
