As Xiao Fang and Xun Wei exited together, the remaining disciples could only watch in silence. Whispers rippled through the room—rumors of their relationship now impossible to ignore after seeing the two walk side by side.
"Fang, what will you do now?" Xun Wei asked once they were outside.
"Lian said her parents wanted to see me. I'll pay them a visit—after I get a few things in order."
"Have you picked out a gift yet?" Xun Wei asked, raising a brow. "You can't go empty-handed."
"A gift?" Xiao Fang paused, visibly thinking. "I didn't realize I had to bring one."
Xun Wei sighed. "Seriously? You didn't even think of that? Forget it. We'll pick something up on the way."
"You want to come?"
"Why not? I was given the day off—I'm free to do what I like."
Knowing Xun Wei would accompany him eased his mind a little. There were many customs in this province he didn't grow up with. Being raised in the Divine Sword Sect often left him feeling like a stranger in this country.
