"That's good."
Big Bull nodded, finally feeling a bit relieved. Xuexue was the woman he loved; he couldn't put her in danger or be the slightest bit careless. Later, he still needed to have Long Yi send someone to watch that dwarf.
As the saying goes, cautious steering can safeguard a ship for a thousand years. Since Xuexue's life was at stake, there could not be a single mistake.
When he returned home, Madam Xie didn't react much. She thought Xuexue was really in town, discussing business with Shopkeeper Fan, and it was normal for her to stay overnight at the inn since she was late coming home. Madam Xie didn't ask much, simply telling her that there was food left for her in the kitchen, and then she hoisted the farming tools and went to the fields to weed.
