The sound outside made Ye Xiao frown slightly.
He had planned to take a quick look and then head straight to Hong Island, especially since the invitation had been delivered to his hands. If he didn't go, it would be rather awkward to explain.
But now, with Deng Shuqi making a nuisance of herself at the door, Guan Qinghan's persuasion was mostly likely to be ineffective.
As he thought this, Ye Xiao's gaze also drifted to the empty stone bench in the courtyard.
A graceful figure had appeared on the stone bench at some point.
The amount of time he had been separated from Fu Lingxiang was not very long, but the changes in her were quite significant.
The huge improvement in strength had elevated her whole aura.
If previously Qing Ling could still somewhat compare with Fu Lingxiang, now with the lofty air about Fu Lingxiang, Qing Ling had become just a backdrop, a green leaf by her side.
She sat on the stone bench, watching Ye Xiao with interest.
