Ding Ling walked out of the study.
He saw Yu Qiang and Madam Bai.
They naturally saw him as well. After all, the two of them had been keeping part of their attention on the study. The moment Ding Ling appeared, they noticed him at once and hurried forward together to salute him.
They were all extremely respectful and very polite.
At least, that was how it seemed to Ding Ling.
"Let me introduce my little sister, Yu Qiang."
Madam Bai pulled Yu Qiang over and introduced her with a beaming smile:
"My little sister heard me talk about you, my lord, and admires you greatly. She hopes to follow you and serve at your side."
"..."
Yu Qiang was speechless. She really wanted to say, Sister Bai, you're talking complete nonsense.
But thinking of how Sister Bai's power had been drained away, she could only endure it for now. She decided to approach Ding Ling first and earn his recognition before saying anything. If she spoke rashly without knowing him well, she might provoke his dislike. Asking him for help after that would be difficult.
Yu Qiang was filled with worries. How extraordinary were Ding Ling's People Observation Technique and Deduction Technique? With only one glance, he knew what Yu Qiang intended. He did not expose her, however. Instead, he nodded and said:
"In that case, the two of you can follow me."
He lifted his leg and walked outside.
"Make your preparations and leave the city with me."
"My lord, is it really that urgent?"
Madam Bai hurried forward to dissuade him:
"My little sister has only just returned. How about letting her rest for two days? Besides, I still haven't properly arranged everything in Hundred Refinements City. If we leave rashly, I'm afraid it will cause unrest.
