Once Chu Li returned to the little gazebo, Leng Qiu and Leng Qing checked him out.
Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu wanted to speak their minds but in the end, held their tongues.
Xiao Shi side glanced him as if he had always been here and had never left.
Chu Li's wounds were almost healed and could not be seen from his appearance.
"Young Lady, we should head back now," Chu Li said.
"Leave now?" Xiao Shi looked at him with her eyes as clear as autumn's waters.
Chu Li added, "There's nothing much to see at the end. You're tired too."
"All right then." Xiao Shi nodded lightly and shifted her head towards Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu.
"You should leave first. We'll stay here so as not to be impolite."
"I'll leave it to you," Xiao Shi answered.
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "Consort Song, Consort Xue, you should return with Consort Lu to the town before anything happens."
