Mai Ya shakily hugged her arms. She blew out the lamp and curled up in the darkness. It was as if she could not escape from the terror she had experienced. The guards who had died so tragically to protect her still lingered in her thoughts.
The moment she closed her eyes, the terror spread to her entire body. In the darkness, it was as if something terrible was staring at her all the time.
Even her breathing became careful. She could not withstand this feeling of oppression. She suddenly jumped down from the bed and rapidly walked out of the room with bare feet.
It was late at night and the corridor was completely quiet. Mai Ya did not know what she was fleeing from, or where she was going. She aimless walked down the empty corridor until she vaguely saw a faint light.
She walked towards the light. Under the candlelight, she saw Ji Fengyan, who was frowning and flipping through scrolls.
