While Xu Mu and Shang YaoYao were busy teasing each other, Luo Qingchen sneaked out from the back gate, quickly returning to her own courtyard.
She used a skill to tidy up the courtyard. Barely catching her breath and preparing to take stock of her cultivation, she heard a knock at the door.
"Sister, have you returned?"
Li Heng's voice came from outside the courtyard.
His dwelling bordered Luo Qingchen's. He probably came over to investigate upon hearing some noise.
She opened the door, revealing her familiar face that had been unseen for quite some time. A look of surprise and joy appeared on Li Heng's face.
"Sister, really, where have you been all this time? Why were you gone for so long? How is our teacher?!"
Li Heng bombarded her with a slew of questions upon meeting her.
"Well..."
Luo Qingchen momentarily didn't know how to explain this. She had been in Xu Mu's room all this time, and hadn't visited their teacher at all.
"You haven't found him, have you? I knew it!"
