In the corridor outside the Main Hall.
Having received Third Senior Sister's orders, Cui Hao was currently the only one heading toward the Main Hall, both to sound his master out and to tell him that Li Junzi had arrived.
After all, his master was in a bad mood. Bringing a stranger straight in to meet him would hardly be appropriate.
Cui Hao quickly ran through a simple simulation of his upcoming conversation with his master.
