"Did he mention anything else?" Zhu Qingyue casually asked.
"He knew about me. He knew everything about… I couldn't make sense of more than half of it, but he said my path has already been paved, and that I shouldn't stray from it."
Li Meirong felt Zhu Qingyue's lips press against the top of her head again.
"It seems like sound advice. What else did the Old Sage say to you?" Zhu Qingyue persisted.
"The fox…" Li Meirong's eyes snapped open with a sudden realization. 'Snowball still hasn't returned!'
For some odd reason, whenever Zhu Qingyue was around, she didn't feel like she was missing her fox spirit at all. But now that she remembered the Wise Sage's words, her worries resurfaced.
"He said not to abandon the fox. Speaking of, I thought you were supposed to be with Snowball? The girl you assigned as my maid said Snowball accompanied you today. Why isn't he back?" Li Meirong asked.
