When he returned to his guest room, he happened to see Su Mei coming out from inside.
"Master Su." Ling Chen grinned and asked, "Were you looking for me?"
"Where did you two run off to just now? I thought you'd gotten lost and was about to send people to look for you." As she said this, Su Mei gave Ling Chen a deep look. She knew very well that this wasn't Ling Chen's first or second time at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; he'd even stayed here for a period and was very familiar with its layout. There was no way he'd get lost. It was just that some things couldn't be pointed out directly.
"My apologies, it was too dark just now, and I accidentally took the wrong path. I wandered around for a long time before I got out. So, I was worried you'd be looking for me and came back right away. Master Su, it's still early—why don't you come sit in my room for a bit?"
