With Su Xingqiao joining them, they no longer had any worries, and their hearts felt much lighter. The previous tension and concern had mostly dissipated.
Lian Xichen specifically explained the tasks to be done to Su Xingqiao. He had previously been concerned about the Ghost Ancestor's quirky nature and how impatient he could be with such tasks. He had been thick-skinned enough to consider asking Su Yaogeng to look after things. Unexpectedly, with Su Xingqiao here, things had indeed become much easier.
Both had been generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years. Although there was a considerable age gap, they had a lot in common. Many of Lian Xichen's views greatly benefited Su Xingqiao, and over the course of one dinner, they became close friends. Thinking that Jing'er called Lian Xichen 'big brother', Su Xingqiao shamelessly also called him 'big brother', completely ignoring that Lian Xichen and Su Yu were of the same generation.
