"You've endured your self-imposed penance for decades, and you've already settled your debts. Starting today, it's time to conduct yourselves admirably and serve Her Excellency, Lady Qiaoqiao of Xuanji School," Qiao Mu declared with a cool, composed expression.

/In essence, they were punishing each other./
Had Xuanji still been alive, her fiery temperament would likely have led to them being thoroughly reprimanded.
