Qin Ruan got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked towards the bathroom.
There was a gloom on her face, and a sense of irritation filled the air around her.
An inexplicable impatience was gnawing at her from within.
...
"Knock, knock--"
"Sister Ruan, are you awake yet?"
Qiao Jiu's clear voice sounded from outside the door.
Just as Qin Ruan finished freshening up and stepped out of the bathroom, she heard Qiao Jiu's voice echoing at the door.
Feeling rather weak, she answered casually, "Yes, I'm up."
She paused for a moment, not going towards her bed as initially intended, but rather towards the door.
Qin Ruan opened the door to find a well-dressed Qiao Jiu leaning against the door frame, clearly visible in front of her.
Upon seeing Qin Ruan, Qiao Jiu's eyes lit up, "Sister Ruan, I am accompanied Master to the Maoshan Sect to take care of some matters."
Qin Ruan knew Qiao Nanyuan had to go back to the Maoshan Sect due to matters involving Mu Qing and Su Zijia.
