When Yue Rumei returned to the room, the air felt like it was charged with tension as Xu Qi and Luo Jia silently stared at each other. Even though she didn't hear anything, she could tell that the two had been locked in a conversation.
"Luo Jia, Young Master Xu, is everything alright?" Yue Rumei's voice was like a gentle breeze, breaking the intense silence that had settled in the room.
Xu Qi offered a warm smile, his eyes never leaving Luo Jia's. "Everything is fine, Rumei. Luo Jia was just expressing her interest in the Wandering Palace and how she might be able to support you during your cultivation there."
Luo Jia nodded subtly, the corners of her mouth curling into a knowing smile. "Indeed, I was merely inquiring about the sect's environment and the potential benefits for the young mistress's cultivation."
