"........."

Staring up at the ceiling of the Ashen River Hall's nightclub, Wang Yongning's eyes are devoid of light, as he takes up the entirety of a single sofa for himself.

Currently, he is on the third floor of this gathering hub—recalling the events of today. The pain that Wu Xiao had given him is something that cannot be put into words. It is a sense of pain that will bring any man onto their knees.

Understanding Wang Yongning's emotions the best at a time like this was none other than Chen Lan, who had experienced the same sense of pain. And towards the former, the latter encouragingly says—

"Sir Wang, get yourself together. It's just one busted nut. You still got another left, right? You'll manage somehow, I'm sure."

"..."

Seated on the sofa opposite of Wang Yongning with a table between them, Shao Tianming looks to Chen Lan, who is seated on the center sofa, with an odd look on his face, while thinking—

(The hell? Is this Chen Lan trying to cheer him up, or rub salt into his wounds?)

Not knowing what he can say to Wang Yongning about this awkward matter, Shao Tianming picks up a glass of whisky, and sips away quietly.

As the awkward mood continues to loom in the air, hurried footsteps are detected from behind Shao Tianming, and as the running individual comes closer—

"Sir Wang!"

Coming to a halt, Zhang Yong stands with his back straightened, and bows by 90 degrees to Wang Yongning, while shouting—

"Apologies for the trouble that I've caused you!"

A few seconds after that, Hui'er also comes running over, and does the same as Zhang Yong.

"I-I am as well."

"........."

"..."

"..."

Receiving no response from Wang Yongning, the two could only choose to maintain their bent posture in an awkward manner.

"..."

Unable to watch this any longer, Shao Tianming shakes his head, and says—

"...Ai, enough is enough. Straighten up."

"Yes, Shao-laoda..."

"...Un."

Having seen what had turned Wang Yongning into his current state, Hui'er finds it incredibly awkward to bring up the topic, hence Zhang Yong turns to Shao Tianming, and whispers—

"Shao-laoda... Sir Wang, he...?"

Waving Zhang Yong away, Shao Tianming replies with—

"Don't ask. Ah... Actually, Hui'er, you able to concoct anything for this?"

"Nothing this specific..."

Hui'er's Relic takes on the form of a jade bottle.

Herbal materials that are sucked into the bottle will automatically be compounded into a pill of two types—the first is a medicinal pill, and the second is a poisonous pill.

What's special about the pills is that they do not degrade over time, making it possible to stock up on them. And as a result of her possessing a Relic of this nature, she has a special status among the denizens of the inner domain.

Normally, an asset of her class shouldn't be placed into a position of danger. However, due to there being no reliably means to transfer medicinal pills between the outer and inner domains, it was decided that she was to be a part of the first team to enter the outer domain.
