Gu Shi Yi was startled and turned her head to look, only to see the stone lion had also turned to look at her, its stone-carved eyeballs even rolling in their sockets before asking,
"...What brings you to my yamen?"
Gu Shi Yi offered a smile,
"That... Excuse me, is Lord Situ Xiao here?"
"Situ Xiao..."
The stone lion seemed dazed for a moment before responding,
"Situ Baiwei is out today and not within the yamen!"
The Spirit Clearing Guard functioned like any other ordinary yamen, assigning people to stand guard each day; those who were not on duty were free to go out, and today Situ Xiao was out.
"Oh... Thank you very much!"
Gu Shi Yi quickly gave the stone lion a fist and palm salute, then turned away, disappointed.
It was alright, she could return in a few days to ask again. She wouldn't be leaving Huangjing City anytime soon!
She still had yet to meet her cheap senior brother!
