Chen Ye led Zhiwei to Little Shuyao's residence.
Though called a residence, it was actually within a small courtyard.
Chen Ye did not treat Little Shuyao any differently. Since she was still young, he arranged for her to stay in this small courtyard, eating and living with his apprentices.
"This child..."
Chen Ye looked at the tightly closed door and shook his head.
The commotion from his return wasn't small, but this child locked herself inside, not even coming out for a glance... too timid, unlike Hee Qi.
Upon reflection, Chen Ye could understand. Hee Qi was always out hunting demons, leaving Little Shuyao alone at home. Although there was Hee Qi's concubine to care for her, it wasn't the same as having parental companionship.
He pushed open the door and saw Little Shuyao curled up on a chair, hugging her knees, motionless.
Little Shuyao was adorably delicate, her big eyes like a fawn submerged in water, timidly looking around.
