After pointing out the direction, the Gemini Gold Cloth turned into a streak of light and vanished before Qian Renxue's eyes.
Realizing she'd been teased, Little Angel stamped her foot in frustration, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
For some reason, that little bit of teasing eased the emotions she'd kept bottled up for so long. She had only recently taken Xue Qinghe's place, and whenever she dealt with the powerful and influential, she was always cautious, afraid someone would spot a flaw and ruin everything.
The taut string finally slackened when she learned Lin Beiya had arrived.
Back in her bedroom, she changed into women's clothes and removed the Soul Bone disguise. Then Little Angel hurried toward the direction the Sacred Cloth had indicated.
Fortunately, Pufferfish had dismissed all the servants and guards in advance. Otherwise, even if they didn't think the woman who'd gone out was their master, the First Prince Xue Qinghe, they would have gossiped about which maid had snuck out late at night to meet her lover. How bold!
In a small grove several kilometers away, Lin Beiya smiled knowingly as he watched a graceful figure hurry straight toward him.
When she reached him, before he could even raise a hand to greet her, a gust of fragrant wind swept into his nose.
He quickly wrapped his arms around the Little Angel who had leaped onto him, catching her before she could fall.
"It's been a year, and Xiao Xue is even prettier!"
"Hmph! You said you'd come see me soon, but it's been a whole year! A man's word is the devil's lie!"
The Little Angel in his arms clearly wasn't buying it. She opened her mouth and began scolding the person she'd been longing for.
Lin Beiya smiled helplessly.
