Black and White

In the Upper World, under the night sky, Starstern City, at the Starry Inn.

"Miss Bai, you should rest for now. When the lord arrives, I'll come to get you," Wudang's eldest disciple, Song Miaosong, said as he escorted Bai Miaoling to her room. He did not enter but made a respectful gesture and stood outside the door.

Bai Miaoling understood Song Miaosong's intention and nodded slightly. "Thank you, Senior Brother Song."

"Miss Bai is too polite," Song Miaosong replied, nodding back before quietly closing the door.

Once Song Miaosong left, Bai Miaoling sat alone on the bed, silent and contemplative. Ever since coming to the Upper World, the murmurs in her mind had grown louder.

"Sister, when do you think she'll realize we're here?"

"I think she still needs some time..."

"Yes, her strength is still too weak; she's only a martial arts Grandmaster."

"Mhm, you're right."

The two voices conversed back and forth—one soft and gentle, the other slightly spoiled and willful.
