There was a touch of indifference.

There was still a dull ache in his chest, and the distance to Leng Zhuxiang seemed even farther now.

Li Hengyi looked up at Yuanbao, "Handle it as you see fit."

Yuanbao nodded.

He went down to find Yuan Cheng and inquired about Xie Zhinuan's background.

Yuan Cheng didn't know about Xie Zhinuan's past and gave a rough account of the story, allowing Yuanbao to understand the situation.

Returning to report to Li Hengyi, he remained silent.

Without instructing anything else, he sat for a moment before rising and leaving back to the posthouse.

Li Hengyi said nothing.

After a pause he finally said, "No need!"

Xie Zhinuan had gone to bed early.
