"After showing our faces in the Banquet Hall, we didn’t know what to do, so we’re waiting here for a while and we’ll return later." Xia Yue said with a smile.

"Xiaoyue, long time no see. You look more beautiful now. Is this Xiaoxi? She really is a Xia Family child; she’s very pretty." Madam Mu looked at them and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise, Granny Mu." Xia Yue smiled back.

"Thank you, Granny Mu," Xia Xi gave a slight smile and thanked her.

"Xiaoyue, where did you get that pot of Dew Frost Orchid from?" A refined-looking old man named Han with glasses asked her with a grin.

"Tell Grandpa Qin, Xiaoyue, and Grandpa Qin will treat you to something delicious," Grandpa Qin coaxed her.

"Grandpa Qin, you’re acting like Xiaoyue is still a child," Grandpa Lin responded, somewhat annoyed.

"The Dew Frost Orchid came to me by chance, sirs," replied Xia Yue, worried that they would ask her to find more for them.

"That’s all you got?" Grandpa Han asked her.

"Yes, that’s the only one. I gave it to Grandpa as a gift." Xia Yue reiterated with a nod.

"Next time, Xiaoyue, don’t give such a treasure to your grandfather. Let Lin Grandpa know first, I can give you a good price." Grandpa Lin said with a smile.

"What are you implying, Lin? She’s my granddaughter. If she finds something good, she should give it to me first. I wouldn’t shortchange her. Xiaoyue, remember to give me the first dibs on such valuable items next time. I promise to pay you market price." Grandpa Xia reprimanded Lin first; then he turned to Xia Yue, smiling.

"I understand," Xia Yue nodded. She was nodding now. As for later, well, it would depend on the circumstances.

"Good girls, come sit with us in the pavilion over there. The Banquet Hall is crowded enough with those few." Grandpa Xia nodded in satisfaction and told the two of them.

"Alright," Xia Yue and Xia Xi nodded back.

Xia Yue collected and packed the snack rubbish and empty lunch boxes that System and Spiritual Cat left behind into a bag, before picking up the phone on System’s belly. She signaled to System and Spiritual Cat to follow.

With no other choice, System and Spiritual Cat stood up and followed Xia Yue.

"These two cats seem so intelligent." Madam Mu noticed System and Spiritual Cat and said with a smile.

"These are mine. The white one is called Ruo Xue and the black one is called Xuan Xuan. They’re smarter than regular cats," Xia Yue replied with a smile.

"The white one is a Persian, right? It looks like a purebred." Grandpa Han observed.

"Yes." Xia Yue nodded.

"And what kind of cat is the black one? It’s hard to discern its breed," asked Grandpa Han, directing his gaze at Xuanxuan.

"It’s a pure black cat I found in the wild," Xia Yue answered with a smile.

"It does appear to have a wild aura around it," observed Grandpa Han, nodding his head.

They continued on their way to the pavilion, making friendly banter. Xia Yue took this opportunity to throw the bag of trash she’d been carrying into a trash bin.

Arriving in the courtyard, they found the housekeeper had already prepared hot water and tea leaves for them.

The housekeeper greeted each of them in turn.

"Good evening, Grandpa Tan." Xia Yue greeted the housekeeper with a smile.

"Good evening, Grandpa Tan." Xia Xi mimicked Xia Yue’s greeting.

Grandpa Xia told them to sit and play. System and Spiritual Cat jumped between Xia Yue and Xia Xi.

Resting its head on Xia Yue’s side, and its hind legs on Xia Xi’s side, it exposed its belly and let out a meow at Xia Yue, clearly asking for the phone.
