Bai Shan had broken into a thin sweat on his back by the time he left the Guan residence. He paused beside the carriage, looking towards Manbao.
Manbao was about to join him in the carriage when Doctor Ji coughed and called out, "Manbao, get in the carriage, I have something to say to you."
Manbao could only stop and, after glancing at Bai Shan, got into Doctor Ji's carriage.
Bai Shan frowned but said nothing and stepped onto the carriage step to board.
Erlang saw all this and sighed to himself, It seems there are others here intent on thwarting lovers as well.
Bai Shan drew back the curtain for a final farewell to Erlang, and after they exchanged waves they parted ways.
Erlang watched the two carriages disappear into the distance before he turned, smiling, and returned to the main courtyard.
Old Master Guan was inquiring about Bai Shan's situation with Guan Dalang.
How would Guan Dalang know so much?
