Chapter 604: Incident 2

"Well, then, I'll visit another day," Lin Xin left his contact information and then turned to leave.

Leaving at such a critical time aroused some suspicion in his heart. However, it was natural for a cultivator to be out on missions, and it wasn't unusual for them not to return.

After he left,

A maid slowly emerged from the front of the Jade Mansion.

"Has that man left?"

"Yes," the steward nodded slightly.

The maid quickly ran back, passing through the courtyard and the rockery pond, and entered a small bedroom.

"Master, that man has left," she reported.

Qiao Yu fiddled with a black metallic, exquisitely made jade hairpin in her hand, seemingly distracted.

"Block him the same way next time," she instructed.

"Understood," the maid wanted to say more but ultimately remained silent.

Qiao Yu, expressionless, gazed out the window at the blooming plum blossoms, her eyes vacant with a trace of avoidance.
