In the evening, as the moon already rose to the sky while the sun has yet to completely hide behind the horizon, Wu Long visited the hall given to the Frozen Garden Palace for their meetings once more, though this time it was empty except for one person on the balcony, looking toward the distant setting sun.
"Greetings, Palace Master Qiu"
"Thank you for meeting me, Daoist Wu"
Qiu Yilao turned with a solemn expression, her eyes seemingly trying to discern something in his.
"I wanted to talk to you about Bing'er..."
"I assumed as much"
"Then this will be easier. Do you intend to pursue her?"
"Yes, at this point I do, though it was not necessarily so in the beginning"
Qiu Yilao nodded without much surprise, since she saw the signs.
"But... you should be aware of her... special circumstances"
"I am. Though it seems Palace Master Qiu slightly misinterprets those circumstances"
"..."
