Great Xia Calendar, year 2305.
July 14th, heavy rain.
Jin Xu pushed open the door and saw Xia Yunzhao, who had been waiting outside.
"Good morning, Taoist," she greeted.
"Good morning, Miss Yunzhao," he replied.
"Would the Taoist like to join me for a bowl of wontons?" she asked.
"No, thank you," he declined.
This exchange had become a routine between them every morning since Jin Xu had started living in the room.
After spending the night cultivating in the library, he asked Li Mi for a large water tank the next day, which he placed by the window to serve as Yu Yaoer's dwelling.
As for Little White, after shape-shifting, she lay on the edge of the tank, claiming it felt like sleeping at Xuanxu Temple.
Seeing Xia Yunzhao there, rain or shine, the young Taoist couldn't help feeling a bit troubled.
