~At the Minglan sect~
After Lilan left the sect's garden for his room. He decided to start his plans.
"Is there a way for me to leave the sect without being noticed by father?" Lilan said as he was looking at the map looking for escape routes.
He kept on looking at the map till he found a route on it.
"Yes, I can use this route without being found and I'll also use my black hood to avoid being discovered."
Lilan kept searching through his plans to check if there were any mistakes when suddenly he remembered one important pot-hole that could distrupt his plans "How can I forget, that weirong might come looking for me. I can't let her find out because it won't be easy for her to keep her big mouth shut."
Lilan started to think of what to do when an excellent idea struck him.
"I could just keep her busy with Grandpa muchou, hehehe." lilan said laughing mischievously.
'Now, I'll see how you will follow me around when all you will do is meditate.' lilan scoffed as he left his room to Xiaolan's room
Xiaolan looked at his friend happily and shouted out loud "Hey who do we have here?"
"Keep your voice down and stop shouting. I came to ask you for a favor?"
Xiaolan widened his eyes as he couldn't believe what his friend just said. "A favor?"
"What is it?" Xiaolan asked focused on what his friend wants to ask because for lilan to ask a favor that means it must be something big.
"Well, I'll be leaving the sect tomorrow secretly so I want you to make sure that no one enters my room and also to help me send weirong to Grandpa's room if not me being absent from the sect will be discovered."
Xiaolan looked at his friend with dis belief written all over his face.
"Where are you going to secretly?"
"Well, it's the Xiao sect. I just want to explore the place."
Xiaolan couldn't believe what his friend just said. "Explore? You know that this is very risky. Why would you want to do something like that and if your father hears, he'll be really mad."
"That's why I'm asking for the favor from you" lilan said with an expression ' don't ask me anymore questions.'
"Okay fine, I'll do as you said just come back early. Okay?"
"Hmmh"
Lilan said as they sat down to discuss other trivial things.
The next day came faster than he could imagine and he took his things to get prepared.
~At the Xiao sect~
"Chengru, be fast. We have to go out early." Bai qian was anxious to go out since they were free for the day and that giving them the opportunity to explore around the sect.
Chengru quickly made her way out to meet a sulking Bai qian who kept on rambling on how they've missed part of their precious time to her being slow with her things.
"Come on, let's go already."
Chengru said as she kept on her hood that prevents her hair and part of her face from being shown.
G.susu gave Chengru the hood to prevent others from seeing the red colour in between her hair to prevent unwanted questions.
They went to the sect's market and bought lots of yummy food and also watched how people went on with their daily lives.
While on the other side of the market, lilan with his hood moved round the market and was astonished by how the things in the sect moved on smoothly. As he kept on moving, he bumped into another person with a black hood like himself the only difference is that the person was a lot shorter than him.
Chengru was waiting for Bai qian who went to buy something for them to eat when someone bumped into her.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going."
Lilan said as he helped her stand up from the ground.
"It's okay." Chengru stood up and looked at him while Lilan quickly used his hood to cover his face very well and started moving on his own way.
"Hey! You don't look like someone from here. Are you a spy?" Chengru shouted as she ran towards the guy.
Lilan was shocked with what she said and moved away faster when he suddenly felt someone's hand on his arms.
Chengru held his arm tighter to prevent him from going away when he pushed her away swiftly.
Chengru got angry and charged towards him and they started fighting with their hands.
Bai qian came back with the candies in his hands when he noticed that Chengru wasn't where he left her. He started running to look for her when he saw her fighting with a someone with black hood.
Bai qian moved there and pulled Chengru out from the fight to prevent her from being injured. Using the opportunity, lilan swiftly ran away very fast.
"What was that all about?"
