"Is the Su Ruanruan they're talking about my Ruanruan? Please, shopkeeper, let me see her, let me know if she's alright, then I'll be at ease..."
"I really haven't heard anything about Su Ruanruan. You know, she's not a long-term worker here. She comes and goes as she pleases. How can I possibly control her..."
Thinking back to the conversation I had just overheard between Huo Yan and his brothers.

Purple Mist: "Uh..."
Before Ziwu could figure out what to say, the door opened, and the female healer looked at the people standing in the doorway.
