e magic circle, taking Ripple and Laje out of the derelict yard.Ripples and LaYe's eyes blinked in the blink of an eye, appearing at George's temporary residence."Lotus, go tend to your wounds first."..."Miss, I was also worried about your safety. I heard that the old house in the county town had been sold, and I thought that's why you came here in such a hurry to make sure you were safe."

This Mr. Li, with his temples streaked with gray, was a master of words, leaving half spoken and letting the listener fill in the rest.

The ripples had settled, but Li Guanxi showed no intention of letting the other person sit down. Holding a handkerchief in his hand, his eyes were red-rimmed as he spoke:

"Miss, if Master had come to mourn, how could I possibly conceal it Moreover, you were at the mourning hall, and you saw all those who came to pay their respects."
