Assistant Minister Liu and his family were naturally very thankful to the cultivators for working together to subdue the demon. He was especially grateful to Liu Boqi and Chen Ping'an for the major role that they played.

The rims of Liu Qingshan's eyes were red, and the lame young man found an opportunity to privately speak with Daoist Nun Liu Boqi and bow to her in gratitude. He then sought out Chen Ping'an and his companions and also bowed to them in gratefulness.

Liu Boqi pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

That night, the Lion Garden hosted a banquet to celebrate the resolution of the problem. Liu Boqi remained emotionless, and she would only grab some food with her chopsticks from time to time. Even though she found the banquet boring and a waste of time, she still remained in the banquet hall until the banquet finally concluded.

The next day, Liu Qingshan somehow ended up standing side-by-side with Liu Boqi, and he invited Chen Ping'an to enjoy the scenery of the Lion Garden together with them.

Chen Ping'an politely turned him down, yet his refusal was denied, and he was forced to go with Liu Qingshan and Liu Boqi anyway.

As they wandered around, Liu Boqi shot a cold glance at Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an pretended that he couldn't see this.

It was a sunny day today, so after Chen Ping'an agreed to Pei Qian's voluntary offer, she started to slowly carry their books and bamboo slips around the Lion Garden. Like an ant moving nests, she moved all of the books and bamboo slips to an empty area in the Lion Garden.

After completing this busy task, Pei Qian was filled with satisfaction as she squatted on the ground.

Two people walked over from the distance, and Pei Qian was aware of who they were. They were teachers in the Lion Garden's private school, and the old scholar was called Fu Sheng, while the middle-aged scholar had the surname Liu.
