Summary

In this chapter, Xi Lan initially reacts shocked and embarrassed upon learning about the relationship between her bodyguard Hei and Orson, a guard from the Fei Lin Zu. She mistakenly interprets their friendly interaction and worries about Hei's reputation, prompting a comical misunderstanding. Orson, attempting to clarify, compliments Hei's hair, further embarrassing her as it’s rare to receive such normal compliments given her mercenary background. As the interaction unfolds, Xi Lan recognizes the bond forming between Hei and Orson and sees a chance to help Hei make a real friend, given her lack of social connections.

The chapter shifts to a conversation about Oripathy, a disease affecting Hei, and Xi Lan reveals her intent to take Hei to Rhodes Island for treatment, a pharmaceutical company with expertise in curing the disease. Hei, however, resists this idea, prioritizing Xi Lan's safety and familiarity over potential treatment.
