Xiaoling stood outside cluelessly. What did their words even mean? Before she could process it, the door opened and the Arbiter walked out, looking straight at Xiaoling's flustered face. 

"We let you listen on purpose," The Arbiter told her, "You must understand why, right?" 

Xiaoling frowned and shook her head in confusion. 

"It is so you can be as cautious as we are in handling your affairs," The Arbiter said, "And next time, do not hide from us if he is ill. We should first know." 

With that, the Arbiter casually walked past her. 

"Lord Arbiter!" Xiaoling called him out loud, stopping him in his tracks, "What is your relation with him? Why should I tell you?" 

The Arbiter slightly turned back, "You already know."
