Saying Goodbye

"Fei'er, how are you feeling?"

"It still hurts a bit but I'll be okay, Uncle. What about Rou'er? How is she?"

Outside of the inn, both Elder Fei and Fei Xian were chatting with each other.

The young man sat upright in bed, wearing white robes. No doubt, still recovering from the attack, it seemed that they were in a hospital. And Elder Fei sat by the bedside, cutting some fruit for his nephew. He sighed at the mention of his stepdaughter before answering. 

"Haah, she's still locked up in her room, blaming herself for what happened."

Elder Fei looked up at him, studying the injuries that his nephew endured. There was a complicated look on his face but Fei Xian just smiled. 

"How silly of her. I didn't die so everything's fine!" 

His words came out cheerfully though his uncle seemed unconvinced. 

"Heh, what of Mother and Father? Have they left already?" Fei Xian's smile slowly vanished as he asked this.
