As time went to blossom, Ning Que, who remained in the cliff cave, did not have the opportunity to get close to the fresh wildflowers in the fields. Fortunately, bouquets of flowers were often seen in the cave.
Sangsang would occasionally visit her parents at the scholar's mansion in Chang'an. However, she refused to stay over there and would return to the Academy on the day she arrived. She would pick some flowers and gather them into a bouquet on the way back for Ning Que.
Ning Que had been forced to practice cultivation in the cliff cave and could only find out about what happened outside through Sangsang and Chen Pipi. However, these things seemed to have nothing to do with him.
