"Alright, alright! Absolutely! Absolutely!" The shop owner nodded repeatedly, respectfully handing the plaque back to Ah Mi with both hands. "Miss, you must take good care of this plaque. It’s a very important item. Next time you come back, just bring it to me."
Ah Mi nodded, carefully tucking the plaque into the inner pocket of her coat.
"Ah! I didn’t expect we’d come all this way for nothing! If only we had come a few days earlier!" Ah Mi said, somewhat dejected.
Xiao Yu gently squeezed Ah Mi’s palm and smiled softly to comfort her. "Don’t worry about it. Let’s just treat it as a trip. It will give us a chance to walk around Xuandu City and soak in its local customs and scenery."
"Yeah, I just wish we could heal your eyes sooner. Then, Xiao Yu, you could join me and Brother Dashan in admiring the landscape. But it’s alright—I can describe everything I see to you." Ah Mi regained her energy once more. "We’ll be here for a while anyway. Xiao Yu, let me take you to the mall for a spin.

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded sweetly, softly accommodating Ah Mi’s wish.

After a moment of silence, the elderly, white-haired man let out a heavy sigh.
"Third Young Master, you’ve had it rough these days."
