The private engagement set between them made their relationship instantly more subtle and closer.

After Guo Feilong left, Huo Ling'er, having received the news, immediately came to the private room to inquire about the outcome from her cousin, Huo Meier.

Though Huo Ling'er had lived for over a thousand years, she was still a novice in matters of the heart, with a strong curiosity. She asked about everything, almost to the point of asking Huo Meier if Guo Feilong had done anything with her in the private room.

Huo Meier and Huo Ling'er had an exceptionally close personal relationship, even closer than real sisters. This was because Huo Meier had an exceptional talent in alchemy and was now a grandmaster-level alchemist, just half a step away from becoming a master in alchemy.
