"If His Majesty asks later, just let him find me," Cheng Guang soothed Qian Siyuan before heading towards the mansion gate with Qing Luan and Qin Yanqiu.
Qin Beifeng stood outside the gate, hesitated for a moment, and then maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close behind Cheng Guang.
Meanwhile, Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang watched Cheng Guang's departing figure and exchanged a glance, both spotting the confusion in each other's eyes.
Li Zhengyang scratched his head and said, "Since the Princely Heir has instructed us so, let's not overthink it and just proceed as he said."
Qian Siyuan nodded in agreement.
And they turned around with the staff of the Bureau of the Lamp to leave.
As Cheng Guang approached the mansion gate, the old guard naturally didn't need to say much, greeting him with utmost reverence at the earliest opportunity.
