"Girl, aren't you a fast one?" Wang Li said.
Xiaolin jerked awake from her stupor and skidded off Gale's embrace to maintain a distance. That only earned a chuckle from Wang Li.
"Elder sister, what are you talking about?"
Gale had already noticed Wang Li from the air, but that didn't stop him from landing there. Well, it was better than dropping in front of the Inn.
Vale ran out of the other side to come to the garden. He woofed smugly as if telling him he won the race.
"So where have you two, Master and Disciple, been?" Wang Li asked again.
"We weren't alone," Xiaolin came to defence almost instantly. "Vale was with us."
"Sure," Wang Li said with a meaningful smile. "I can already see that."
"Elder sister!"
Gale let out a breath. "Linlin, go make a cup of tea for me."
Xiaolin left at once, getting an excuse.
Wang Li snorted and drew her attention towards the tall man. "Tell me truthfully. Are you spoiling her too much?"
