The Empress's Gentleness

He Chuan was uninterested. After Lia advanced, he suggested they return to the relay station first.

Cai Lian also left with him.

Lia stayed behind to continue watching the competition. She did not want to miss such a grand event.

She could learn something from every match, so He Chuan didn't force it. If she wanted to watch, she could just stay. He just happened to be taking Cai Lian back to the Palace.

He Chuan did not disturb Empress Changning. Instead, he returned to the Library Pavilion.

He lay on the rocking chair in the front yard and flipped through the "Anecdotes of Qizhou" again, wanting to see if he could find anything new in the allusions to gods and demons.

Cai Lian quietly cleaned the Library Pavilion. She didn't use any martial arts, but rather she cleaned it with all her heart. This allowed her to become calm.

She didn't know if it was because she had been with He Chuan for too long, but she now liked the quiet.
