Xiaoling, Li, and Zhenzhen were all packing their qins in the silk covers when the door knocked once again.
"Eh? I thought the Arbiter just left," Xiaoling murmured in confusion.
Zhenzhen quickly stood up to check who was at the door. When she opened it, she instantly bowed once again. Xiaoling tilted her head to the right to see who it was. Hou Hai's eyes met with hers, catching her off-guard. She hadn't seen Hou Hai since the funeral of Lady Ren.
She stood up and bowed, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Hou Hai cleared his throat awkwardly, "I was heading to the Liuli Sect and wondered if you wanted to go with me."
Xiaoling's eyebrows raised as she looked at Li. Li slowly shook her head, trying to remain unnoticeable.
"Why would I go there?" Xiaoling asked with a pout, "Godmother is already gone."
