After their reunion, they sat by the lake chatting about the past and the present until the sky began to show the first light of dawn, and only then did Ye Xiao stand up.
She and Zhu Xiang exchanged contact information, and then the two walked out of the bamboo forest together.
Zhu Xiang had wanted to take her for breakfast, but he knew she would not like the food of this era, so he did not mention it.
"Master, you've finally come out alive," Biggie rushed over to greet Zhu Xiang as he emerged.
A glance confirmed that his master was unscathed, without a single stain on his clothes, it seemed they hadn't fought.
"Master, did you get the Land Deed?" Biggie asked.
"Ah Xiang, so that's why you had someone look for me, for this piece of land," Ye Xiao finally understood why Zhu Xiang had been so evasive about his reason for meeting her.
He wanted the land; no wonder he didn't mention it. She never gave away anything she had acquired, not even to Zhu Xiang.
