August 17th, during the meeting.
Facing Lilai's gaze, Red Hat's expression remained calm as usual. She unfolded the paper she had been holding, coated it with a layer of snow, and then let it drift leisurely toward Lilai.
Lilai continued to skim the English ancient tome, only lifting a single finger to touch the edge of the paper, causing the thin layer of snow mist to quickly dissipate.
She spread out the paper on the table, looking up at Red Hat with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"So that's how it is..." she said, "No wonder Xizi Yue has mentioned you to me several times."
Xizi Yue, dressed in a light blue cheongsam with shoulder-length elegant black hair, was sitting by the window at that time.
Bathed in the morning light, she lifted her cup to sip some hot tea, and then said, "I've told you this girl's magic power is very special, particularly similar to yours."
"It is special, and it does share some similarities with mine."
