"Sister Si Li... you've gone too far!"
Standing at the entrance to the courtyard, Ning Wei called out softly, her voice tinged with complaint.
Si Li didn't answer. After glancing around to make sure no one was nearby, she quickly pulled Ning Wei deeper into the courtyard and behind a tree before finally speaking. "Ning Wei, what are you doing here?"
"You have the nerve to ask, Sister Si Li..."
Ning Wei pouted.
"Sister Yunwei sent you to find Brother Xiao. After you entered the Imperial Palace, you kept saying you couldn't find him."
"But Tinghai Pavilion said you've been in the Imperial Palace this whole time and never left."
"If you didn't find Brother Xiao, what have you been doing in the Zhou Royal Palace all this time?"
"Doesn't that mean Brother Xiao's reincarnation is right here in the Zhou Royal Palace...?"
"I came today, and just as I thought, I saw Brother Xiao."
