"Uh-huh."
Xuanqing picked up his wine cup.
"Cheers, Sister Xiaodie!"
Xiaodie raised her wine glass with a smile.
Feng Qianye could tell that Qin Luo's health was seriously compromised. Lu Ming had mentioned when he returned that Qin Luo had cleaned up the mess at a great cost. He looked at him with admiration and said, "Master Qin, let me offer you another toast. Please feel free to drink as you please."
Qin Luo raised his wine glass in a gesture of respect, then handed it to Hua Ying beside him. Hua Ying raised an eyebrow, picked up her glass, and drank a glass for Qin Luo.

"I've heard many answers, and they may all be correct; it's just that we're looking at this issue from different perspectives."
