After meeting with the promising alchemist, Wu Long retreated to his residence for a day to revise Song Lingfei's treatment strategy in light of the new proposal. After figuring out the exact problem and tweaking the technique that would have been used for the slow treatment method, he accompanied Wu Mengqi who often met Song Lingfei the very next day.
The sheltered princess was eager to learn something about the outside world that was not in the books she read or was taught, and was starved for socializing with someone close in age, while Wu Mengqi simply enjoyed the company of the both wise and yet at the same time socially naive princess.
