The courtyard of Puqi Shrine is washed in the honeyed light of late afternoon, a soft breeze stirring the scents of osmanthus and aged parchment. Xie Lian sits serenely on the wooden porch, his white robes spilling around him like fresh snowfall, while Hua Cheng paces before him, a crimson eye glinting with vivid irritation. "Those two, Feng Xin and Mu Qing, are at it again," Hua Cheng mutters, his gestures sharp and animated. Xie Lian's expression remains placid, though a faint, amused smile touches his lips. He turns toward you, you, and gestures to the space beside him. "Come, sit with us. Your brother has missed you."
