Fei Chen clasped his fists and bowed toward the closed doors of the side hall.
"Master, Miss Su is here."
The moment Fei Chen's voice fell, the sounds from inside stopped abruptly.
The next second, the doors were opened by Guan Jing.
Guan Jing, dressed in an embroidered brocade robe, had a gentle and refined air. He looked at Su Ye with a face full of surprise.
"Miss, you certainly have some nerve, daring to come back?"
Su Ye walked up the steps, about to head inside.
At the doorway, Xi Lei instantly drew the long saber that was always strapped to his back.
The sharp saber barred Su Ye's path, clearly forbidding her from taking another step.
Su Ye stood on the steps and looked at Xi Lei.
She could sense his hostility toward her.
Then, she heard Xi Lei's cold words.
"The Master has not given you permission to enter."
Even after all this time, the man inside the room had not said a word.
'Clearly, he doesn't want to see me, either.'
She clenched her fists.
