Han Luo remarked, "No, it's fine. I'm so glad they came to welcome me. I missed them." She sweetly smiled at the boys. Afterward, he invited Assistant Ju Long, "Assistant Long, please have a meal with us. You won't have time to eat later on."

"No, no, its' fine," Assistant Ju Long hurriedly refuted.

Han Luo told him, "No need to be so modest around youngsters like us. We have more room for you to join. Come on."

"Do you smell something?" Mu Ling suddenly asked.

Han Luo who was eating looked at him. "Smell what?"

Mu Ling slowly uttered, "I smell something burning."

"Do you mean fire broke down somewhere?" Han Luo became alert. She tried to smell something burning but she couldn't.
