Flying Sword Master took a deep breath and clasped his fists toward Xiao Tao, saying, "I've troubled you greatly."
Xiao Tao nodded and personally escorted him out the door.
After he walked far away, Xiao Tao returned to her room, shut the door tightly, and took a deep breath, saying,
"He's gone far."
A pair of eyes appeared from inside the wardrobe.
Dong Gong Ruo Shu pushed the door open, jumped out from the pile of clothes, and landed steadily.
She and Chen Yi had hidden separately.
It was because Chen Yi was a Fourth Rank Martial Artist; his energy was too potent and easily detected by masters. By contrast, she was only at the sixth or seventh rank, naturally better suited for hiding in plain sight.
"Thank you, Xiao Tao." Dong Gong Ruo Shu said earnestly.
Xiao Tao chuckled. Not realizing Dong Gong Ruo Shu was disguised as a man, she spat, saying,
"By rights, no men are allowed in the women's quarters."
"By rights?" Dong Gong Ruo Shu asked, confused.
