After finishing his far-from-satisfactory explanation to Zhi Ruo and Qing Lili, Xuan was led away by the servant named Jiapei—a woman who appeared to be in her thirties, but was in reality already over a hundred years old. She was a veteran worker here at the Tower of Flames; one of the first, in fact; so Xuan recognized her clearly, and vice versa.

"Yes. Did you expect it to be longer…?"
"Hm… yes, quite so…"
