Back at home, Xia Xi recalled her final conversation with Xiu.
Flashback:
"Xiu, you know about the bitter feud between the Huyanjue Luo and the Harklerama. But Sister Han is my dad's sister's daughter—she's my cousin—and you're my friend. Besides, you want to help Xia Tian develop his Power, right? He really is the most likely candidate to become the Ultimate Iron Man, but that inevitably means crossing paths with Sister Han. So I really don't want you and Sister Han to end up fighting again..."
Shifting to business, Xiu's expression turned serious and solemn. "You must have talked to Han about this today, right?"
Xia Xi nodded in silence.
"Judging by your reaction, she didn't agree, did she?"
"Mm..." Xia Xi recounted everything Han had said to Xiu word for word. To her surprise, Xiu's reaction was not at all what she had expected.
A trace of appreciation flickered in Xiu's eyes. "That's right. And I agree with her point of view. I chose to compromise because of Xia Tian, and Han might compromise for your sake as well. But if the two of us can't come to accept each other, even taking this medicine won't allow us to truly get along in peace."
End of flashback
Xia Xi lay on her bed and let out a deep sigh.
"Getting those two to accept each other—easier said than done..."
