In the manor hall.
Xue Rui walked in with a lively step.
Her rabbit ears quivered slightly with her steps, her face beaming,
"Lord, as per your instructions, I've conveyed everything."
After bowing, Xue Rui reported to Luo De.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work."
Luo De, leaning back on his high-backed chair, praised, "I watched from the outside for a bit; your acting is better than mine."
The smile on Xue Rui's face grew broader,
"Thank you for your praise, Lord."
"But mostly, it's because I genuinely want to help him."
Xue Rui's eyes were clear, her words sincere,
"I honestly feel that life here is indeed more comfortable and better than in the mountains."
"Moreover, everything I said is true, the Yak People were indeed saved by you."
"Thank you for your recognition, Xue Rui."
Luo De nodded, exhaling deeply, his voice tinged with helplessness,
"But there's nothing we can do; we've known each other longer, so you know what life here is like, and you trust me."
