"Li Ce, the land of Tang is nice." The people were picking up the money on the ground but did not fight over it. Chu Qiao stood there, dazed.
Li Ce laughed and shook his head, replying, "It's okay. What you saw was the good side. However, it's better than what you see in Xia."
As the both of them were no longer able to see the acrobatic performances, they idled around on the street, chatting casually.
Li Ce bought some snacks, consisting of honey sweets, dates, osmanthus cakes, and chestnuts. They were separated into two bags. The both of them took one each and ate them while walking around.
Chu Qiao's mood had visibly relaxed, her fatigue from the previous days dissipated. She asked, "Li Ce, do you know? I am wanted by Xia. I'm probably the most wanted fugitive in the world now."
"Fugitive?" Li Ce was dazed. Laughing, he replied, "That's a new way of putting it."
"Are you not handing me over to Xia?"
