When the morning came, Lin Fei had already prepared breakfast, donned formal attire, and energetically sent the reluctant Xueyin to the Grace Class. It felt a bit like herding a playful piglet back into its pen; until she formally apprenticed, no classes should be missed even for a single day.
Li Xin woke up a bit later, having spent quite some time going over the details last night. After breakfast, he called for a carriage at the street corner to head to Shadow Owl, since pay day was coming up, it wouldn't hurt to spend today's money.
The carriage arrived at Shadow Owl. Li Xin paid the fare, noticing that the coachman became noticeably more polite. Li Xin saw Meng Po at the entrance; this time, there were no sugared pastries present.
Meng Po put down her knitting. "Li Yinxiao, everything's arranged. I took the liberty to put myself first."
Li Xin nodded. "Sister Meng, it's just right to first get to know your basic situation."
