A few months later.
Long Long was speaking with Long Hu when he suddenly heard Shi Yao knocking on the door outside.
"Long Long, come out for a moment." Judging by his master's tone, something seemed peculiar.
So he pushed open the door and saw Shi Yao glance at Long Hu in the room, a look that seemed to say, "Did you tell her or not?"
Long Long nodded at first, then shook his head.
The meaning was, "I told her, but not everything."
Shi Yao: ?
Shi Yao decided not to dwell further on it. Since Long Long didn't call Long Hu over to listen, it was better to keep her uninformed for now.
They went to a nearby quiet room and, after confirming they weren't under surveillance, Shi Yao said with a complex expression:
"Just as you anticipated, West State has declared war on North State."
"Huh?" Long Long looked bewildered.
