Jingrui wasn't a fool, and when he noticed that the topic of conversation had shifted, he guessed that Shangguan Xuanyi's sudden proposal to go on a walk must have an ulterior motive. Standing up, he said, "Due to last night's ruckus, I was too scared and couldn't sleep later on. I am going back to my room to catch some sleep."

"Yang Liu, stay in the room and watch over those pieces of jade. Don't let them get stolen!" Xiao'er told Yang Liu.

Yang Liu nodded in agreement.

So, everyone retired to their respective rooms.

After Xiao'er finished changing, Shangguan Xuanyi had also changed into a silver-grey robe, standing outside Xiao'er's room and waiting.

Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er strolled down the bustling street. The street was filled with numerous stalls. A barbeque stall selling roast lamb skewers was surrounded by a crowd. Xiao'er joined the line and bought two skewers.
