Avina arrived at the palace in no time. However, this time, she didn't rush to the garden. She took her precious time enjoying the delicacies the banquet offered.
'Is he gone?' Avina asked 5025. She had asked 5025 to monitor Liu Yunxi.
Avina didn't want to meet Liu Yunxi again. He was something that the Qin Yinling left behind, but Avina had no heart nor patience to deal with him. Liu Yunxi was not worthy of her attention.
'He's gone,' 5025 gave the affirmative.
Avina stuffed the last pastry in her mouth and looked around. She spotted Father Qin and gave him a signal. Once she got approval, she made her way to the garden.
Avina was unaware of the many, many curious eyes that followed her back.
'Where is he?' Avina asked. She looked around and navigated through the garden. She had visited this garden a million times before, and she wasn't as easily lost as before.
