Li Xueyue didn't know where she had run off to. She eventually came to a stop and glanced around her. She saw one hallway after another, so much so, that it was confusing.
She hadn't realized how long she ran for. Without a doubt, she was lost. Pressing her lips together, she decided it was best to retrace her steps and walk down the route she came from.

Eventually, she threw her hands up in defeat.
"Why is my luck so horrid?" she sighed, turning around. This place wasn't as lavished as the rest of the palace. The wood here seemed a bit older and less polished.
"Oh, I see someone," she said to herself.
Li Xueyue noticed a small silhouette in the distance. That person was squatting on the ground, hunched over a bush.
