Lin Wu said indifferently, "Remember to have her come to me early."
The man took one final look at her, grunted in acknowledgment, and left.
That evening, someone finally came upstairs to report to Lin Wu that Ling Xiu had arrived.
At that moment, Lin Wu was still nestled in the guest bedroom and had someone bring Ling Xiu up.
She was flipping through a roster she had taken from the study, where over half of the names had been crossed out and replaced with newcomers.
As she was looking, the door was knocked on.
Without waiting for Lin Wu to respond, the visitor pushed the door open and entered.
Lin Wu also looked up to see Ling Xiu standing at the door with a complexion that wasn't particularly good-looking.
"Aren't you coming in?" Lin Wu raised an eyebrow.
Ling Xiu, grasping the doorknob, tightened her grip and said, "I heard from the Deputy City Lord that you want me to join you in entering the eighteenth layer of Ice Prison."
