Ye Que hadn't expected Tang Shichu to bring Bai Ling over, as he and Chi Zaozao were still under the grape trellis on the rooftop, blissfully content, with his eyes closed, rejuvenating.
It was Aunt Yun who had brought Tang Shichu and Bai Ling upstairs, pointing to the two under the grape trellis and saying, "They've been like this for quite some time recently."
Tang Shichu asked Aunt Yun to leave, then he and Bai Ling walked over, gently approaching the two.
Ye Que, a man of great wisdom and shrewdness, sensed someone approaching and immediately opened his eyes.
Seeing Tang Shichu, he was clearly taken aback, his voice barely a whisper, "Why have you come?"
He raised his voice, afraid of waking the little girl sleeping on his lap.
Tang Shichu gestured to the little creature on his legs, "Is she okay?"
Ye Que shook his head, "She's been much better recently, but she was in pretty bad shape a while ago."
"What exactly happened?" Bai Ling pressed.
