"Your Highness..." Shen Yizhen called out anxiously, wanting to catch up, but Qi Jingyi had already quickened his pace and disappeared around the Moon Sect without a trace.
Shen Yizhen was left stomping her feet in embarrassment and frustration, yet helpless to do anything else. She could only stare at the empty courtyard, twisting her handkerchief beyond recognition.
"Miss Third, why are you standing here?" At that moment, Ge Yunfang walked over. "I just saw Prince Jingyi heading that way; hurry and follow him..."
Shen Yizhen remained still, her face quickly regaining composure from its earlier embarrassment.
"You child..." Ge Yunfang frowned immediately. "When will you stop being so stubborn?" she paused, then lowered her voice, "You need to make Prince Jingyi like you..."
Shen Yizhen kept her head down, saying nothing.
"Miss eldest..." Ge Yunfang grew impatient. "Don't tell me you want to lose to Shen Yilan?"
"Aunt, stop it," Shen Yizhen looked up, "I have my own plans..."
