Hao Xuan looked at her with a forced smile.
"Everything is okay. They're just doing some drills and experimenting with a few things. First brother just sent me the message. Go back to sleep," he said while walking up to her and fixing her robe.
Hao Xuan knew with she might not believe him but he didn't want to worry her needlessly, especially since she couldn't even see the mushroom cloud in the background.
To her whatever he said would be the truth, or a version of it.
