"What?" Liu Chen was shocked, "Isn't she supposed to be in her room?"
Uncle Yin replied, "I've been knocking for quite a while with no response. It's not my place to enter a young lady's room. You better go check on her yourself."
Speaking, Liu Chen and Qin Lu, together with Uncle Yin, had already arrived in front of Liu Ruyan's room. Liu Chen knocked a few times to no avail, then he pushed the door open, and indeed, Liu Ruyan was nowhere to be seen inside the room.
The tea on the table was still warm, suggesting she had only left recently.
"Could she have gone for a walk in the garden?" Qin Lu asked.
Liu Chen shook his head, "I told her that representatives from all the major sects would be arriving today. To avoid causing any trouble, I instructed her not to show her face, and she said she would stay in her room all day."
"Then where could this girl have gone!" Uncle Yin exclaimed.
