After escorting Ji Ruyan out of the Ji Mansion, the Dark Slave turned back to their master's room only to discover that the master had already awakened.
Mier was reporting the incidents at the side, while the master's face was half shrouded by the mask that never left their visage, their phoenix eyes half-closed in contemplation.
Glimpsing at their master, Mier cautiously ventured, "Master, I have a question that I am not sure whether it's appropriate to ask."
"Speak!" the master commanded.
"I feel like I've heard the name 'Ji Ruyan' before, as if from the past, but I just can't seem to remember where," the servant admitted.
The master glanced at Mier with a slight smile curling his lips, "And where do you think you might have heard it?"
Upon hearing this, Mier immediately made a sour face and lamented, "Master, I just can't seem to recall..."
"Dark Slave, you tell me!"
