Bai Yu's suggestion seemed flawless at that time. He would cover for His Lordship's disappearance and get in his good graces. Maybe, just maybe, His Lordship would find it in his heart to be merciful when Bai Yu would report that which had occurred in his absence.
However, the former Second-In-Command's plan didn't go quite as well as he had initially expected…
Xiao An Hua, Xian An Fei, and Bai Yu were still a fair distance away from the floating island, but close enough that they could already perceive the faraway outline of Her Ladyship dismounting the Cat Spirit mount and tiredly stepping back home in a slow, relaxed manner. She was alone, Bai Yu noted. Probably, she tucked the Plant and the Fungus back inside the Bai clan's ancestral dimension.
The Celestial Foxes collectively sighed, relieved. It seemed as though the rest of the day would prove to be peaceful and uneventful.
