It had become light.
Nangong Yan had spent an anxious night waiting, because yesterday was the 21st, and she had sent Qi Xue out to gather information. Qi Xue told her that Si Nanyu had been blown up, but that Ouyang Yue had been rescued.
Yet, she hadn't seen Ouyang Yue all night, which worried her greatly. She knew Ouyang Yue was very fond of Si Nanyu, and such an incident would have surely distressed her. At this moment, all she wanted was to see Ouyang Yue.
But having still not seen her, and also not having seen her father, she didn't know if something unexpected had occurred, and she became increasingly agitated, jumping around in her urgency.
The fog was thick this morning, and after it became light, she could no longer sleep, pacing in the courtyard.
Qi Xue ran in and said, "Eldest Senior Brother has returned."
