The weekend went by smoothly. Xiaoling looked after Weisheng throughout the weekend and earned his favor. He allowed her to move around the house without a care in the world. She couldn't leave because he had a barrier around the residence, but being allowed out of the room was enough progress.
Instead of six disciples, Weisheng only sent Xie Gang to look after her when he went to work. It was all going as planned, and Xiaoling felt a sense of accomplishment after successfully deceiving Weisheng.
Xie Gang arrived at the residence, surprised at the amount of freedom returned to Xiaoling. He was itching to know what fruit their communication bore. Xiaoling invited him to chat over tea.
"Seeing how you earned your freedom back, you must've succeeded," Xie Gang commented as he received the tea Xiaoling just poured.
She instantly shook her head, "I actually didn't succeed. He just forgot a big chunk of our argument," She smiled.
