Jiang Xiaobai had an ominous premonition in his heart as he followed Xiao Zi to the Holy Maiden's chamber. Xiao Zi gestured for him to wait outside.
Xiao Zi went inside the chamber and came out after a while.
"Come in."
Jiang Xiaobai followed Xiao Zi into the chamber, keeping his head lowered and eyes straight ahead.
"Holy Maiden, Jiang Bai is here."
Xiao Zi announced and then withdrew.
The Holy Maiden had already sat up from the bed, leaning against the headboard, while the Ghost Mother sat at the bedside.
"Greetings, Ghost Mother, Holy Maiden. I, Jiang Bai, am here to receive your orders."
"You are Jiang Bai?" The Ghost Mother glanced over Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai replied, "Ghost Mother, I am indeed Jiang Bai."
The Holy Maiden said, "Jiang Bai, there is something I need you to do now."
Jiang Xiaobai responded, "Please instruct me, Holy Maiden."
"Do you know why I got injured?" The Holy Maiden's voice was gentle, clearly not yet recovered from her wounds.
