The short-haired woman stared at the closed door, her expression faltering for a moment. Then, with a hint of disappointment, she turned and walked away.
Her companion, waiting in the distance, saw this and couldn't help but tease her.
"Well now, what's wrong with my girl? Spring hasn't even arrived yet. Don't tell me you're already lovesick?"
"Hey! You're asking for it!"
Outside, the sounds of their playful bickering faded into the distance.
Hu Qi refilled the food and water for his Camphor Tea Duck, then changed into a fresh set of clothes.
After a moment's thought, he slung the bag containing his Horizontal Blade over his back and headed out.
Soon, Hu Qi arrived at Wang Luo's office.
He reached out and knocked lightly on the door.
"Hu Qi, right? Come in."
Hearing Wang Luo's voice, Hu Qi pushed the door open.
Inside, two other people were in the room besides Wang Luo.
