"Even though we don't know her situation, I'm sure that my mother is fine. She's a tough one, after all." Xing Aiying said.
She then turned to look at Su Yang and asked him with a solemn expression, "Su Yang… Do you think we will ever return to how we used to be?"
"Of course. Although I don't know when it'll happen, I will try my best to make it happen as soon as possible."
"I look forward to that day," she chuckled.
"Anyways, are you ready for another session? We still have an hour before the store opens."
"Let's do it." Su Yang nodded, and they proceeded to cultivate with each other for the next hour until it was time to open the store.
"Good morning, Manager." Mei Xing greeted him with a wide smile on her face when she noticed him approaching the reception desk right before the store's opening.
"Morning… Hm?" Su Yang stopped walking when he noticed something different about her.
