Lin Suqing was not a slow-witted person, but even the cleverest can sometimes be obtuse. The Summer Acquiring Bird could only feel stifled, witnessing him collect the spell and seeing the girl being dragged out of the forest by the net he cast. It was one thing to be rough, but to forcibly drag her out, and to take things slowly, ostensibly out of pity, only made the situation worse...
Dragging her all the way left a trail in the dust and disturbed earth...
Thus, she was brought before them, and when the net vanished, a small figure curled up awkwardly became abruptly visible.
She was dressed in simple clothing, the color hard to define, a pale violet hue, lighter than the color of tea and much brighter than dark ivory. The soft color was comforting to the eye, immediately suggesting a gentle and sincere disposition.
