Chapter 822 - 102: Two People Then, Two People Now (Thanks to the Warm Sun and the Great Silver Alliance)
The girl in the green cloud pattern cross-collared jacket held a bead in her hand, a White Tiger Pearl from the Xue Family. It was said to be obtained from the ancestor General Xue, allowing it to conceal one’s presence. Otherwise, she would have been discovered by the boy as soon as she approached.
