"Don't worry, Father. I know what to do."
Zhang Nuo's return had more or less lessened the family's grief. Although Su Ying had saved many people, she was still a step too late. The Tribal Chief Zhang's daughter had already died under the blades of those Nan State people.

Su Ying really wanted to finish the whole chicken herself, but when she saw that the Zhang family members were totally unwilling to reach for the chicken with their chopsticks, she uncharacteristically ate only two bowls of rice before returning to her room.
Su Ying sat on the bed, and inexplicably, the image of Xiao Jin appeared in her mind.
