Despite this, Feng Ling's departure still affected Ling Xiao. For the next few days, he set aside more time to spend with Yisha and Ye Zi. This secretly puzzled the two women, who wondered, 'When did this blockhead Ling Xiao start understanding romance?'
「A few days later.」
Ling Xiao received a message from the Imperial Capital. There was finally news about his second older sister, Ling Su!
However, it was bad news. The messenger said that Ling Xiao's second sister, Ling Su, had discovered some Ancient Ruins in the Zichuan Empire. The ruins apparently contained many valuables, but only Ling Su could open their gate. Now, Ling Su had fallen into the hands of a powerful family in the Zichuan Empire, and they were forcing her to work for them and open the Ancient Ruins.
Ling Su had been stalling for time and found an opportunity to have this message sent. By the time Ling Xiao received it, more than twenty days had already passed!
