The window Su Ya had mentioned was in the attic room at the end of the second-floor corridor.
This was Zheng Qing's first time setting foot on the second floor of Qingqiu Mansion. These areas were normally sealed off, and even now, after coming upstairs, he could clearly feel the intense desolation hanging in the air.
But amid that desolation, there was also a trace of life. Portraits of Qingqiu beauties hung along both sides of the winding corridor. Few people ever came to the second floor where they usually stayed, let alone a male wizard. The moment Zheng Qing came upstairs, every Picture Frame was packed with portraits gathered to watch the spectacle, commenting on the boy's clothes, looks, and every movement.
"Qingqiu Mansion has men now?"
"This one doesn't count as a man... I mean, he doesn't count as an outsider. Dongdong is his child."
"Is he Little Junjun's little husband?"
"That's right. The portrait of mine hanging in First University's Office Building has seen him before, but I remember there was another witch beside him then, not Little Junjun..."
"He looks so neat and handsome. Who would've thought he was a scumbag too!"
"Well, men..."
Hearing that, Zheng Qing finally could not resist sneaking a glance over. All he saw were fox beauties in magnificent attire filling the frames, each plump or slender in her own way, each stunningly beautiful. Nearly every one of them covered her mouth with a small fan, making it impossible for him to tell who had recognized him and who was gossiping about him.
Yet that furtive glance seemed to confirm their last few remarks. For some reason, the beauties in the Picture Frames immediately burst into laughter. For a while, their sweet chirping voices filled his ears without end.
