The following day would be on a Sunday so Wen Mingye didn't have to go back to the palace. Deep inside he knew he had aroused suspicions about his whereabouts especially with Empress Bai now that he spent most of the nights at Willow Dance House but he still did as his heart wished and followed Mizi Yue back to the dance house where he would spend the night.
"I can't believe there will be no Blooming Celebration this year,"Wen Mingye said breaking the silence as he sat on the stool practicing how to write the Northern Dynasty characters.
"Well there won't be one until the Chalice of the Eternal Spring is found."
"Do you actually believe it was stolen?"
"They say it's a mythical cup so it might have disappeared mysteriously on its own."
Wen Mingye laughed mockingly at Mizi Yue's reasoning,"Who knew a scholar like you can also be superstitious?"
