Ye Jiushang was too tired. He lay down beside Xue Fanxin and fell asleep not long after, sleeping for an entire day. When he woke up, in another two hours, the sky lit up.
He looked at the girl who was still sleeping beside him. Seeing her cute sleeping posture, he could not help but kiss her cherry-like lips. He then traced her facial features with his slender fingers. Finally, he stood up reluctantly and left. He instructed the people outside the room not to disturb her.
Ruying and Suixing recovered after resting for most of the day. They were waiting for him in the study. When they saw him approach, they immediately tensed up. Especially Ruying, his heart was in his throat. He was afraid that Ye Jiushang would settle scores with him early.
Although Xue Fanxin was fine, it was a fact that he had defied his master's orders.
The first rule of the Nine Cloud Palace: No matter when or where, you must listen to the orders of the higher-ups.
