Xiqiu nodded thoughtfully. Could that person be Fourth Master Xiao?
Xiqiu held the child and returned to her room, sitting quietly to wait for someone who said they'd come tonight to take the child. Sure enough, just like yesterday, at the second watch, a shadow flickered through the intentionally open window and landed in the room.
Xiqiu frowned, displeased, as she looked at Fourth Master Xiao. He strode over, looking at the child sleeping soundly in her arms, and a look of expectation confirmed appeared on his face. Xiqiu said, "You finally came?"
"Since there was an agreement, naturally I must come!" Fourth Master Xiao stood with his hands behind his back in front of Xiqiu, his demeanor and voice noticeably softer than at the same time last night!
