Ming Ying looked at the guards on both sides again, confirming that their expressions were normal and they didn't show any disdain. Only then did she feel at ease to enter the mansion with her maid.
The mansion was indeed large.
Nanli didn't have any maidservants following her in and, being skilled in Daoist arts herself, she directly summoned a talisman, using a small flame to light the way. Though it looked a bit eerie, it was much more convenient than having maidservants carry lanterns.
On the way to the Qingliang Courtyard, they had to pass by Chu Shuo's courtyard.
The courtyard gate was open, and Chu Shuo, standing under the porch, immediately saw the eerie flame. Who else could it be but his Sixth Sister!
He was overjoyed and rushed out, "Sixth Sister!"
Qingyang had told him she had important matters to attend to and might not return for a few days. He had been worried sick, unable to eat properly.
Unexpectedly, Sixth Sister had returned so soon!
