"Well, that's good, as doing bad things can indeed deduct your lifespan or merit," Xia Xi nodded.
Afterwards, Xia Yue watched as Xia Xi busied herself with engraving a jade pendant.
Xia Yue sat in front of her, watching very intently.
"This is a Defensive Jade Pendant. I haven't given Grandpa his gift yet, so I'm taking this chance to engrave it," Xia Xi said to Xia Yue.
"Your hands are really skillful. I can't believe I struggled so much in craft classes growing up, just barely passing," Xia Yue acknowledged, nodding her head.
"It's not like I was good at this right away. It took me a year of carving stone before I got to this level. Moreover, as long as the Array is successfully put into it, appearance is secondary. But since it's a gift for Grandpa, it should look good," Xia Xi explained.
"You must have so much patience and endurance. I couldn't do it. I just want to lie down, eat, and wait to die," Xia Yue looked at Xia Xi with admiration and praised her.
