All of a sudden, she could hear the manor's gate creaking open and there came Hai Feng's voice. "Where is Little Ma?"
Another shadow guard replied. "He should be in his room."
Hai Feng grunted in acknowledgment and strode inside. But before he could search for her, Ouyang Xueqing appeared from the second floor and dashed toward him. Her face was flushed with joy and excitement. "Have Master returned?!"
Hai Feng pursed his lips and shook his head. "No…he hasn't."
Her shoulder instantly dropped in disappointment. She pitifully asked, "When will Master be back?" If he didn't return sooner, she feared that…she wouldn't get any time to say goodbye. She planned to return to Beast Mainland and undergo heavenly tribulation first. After she had successfully passed into adulthood, no one could ever stand in her way even if she wanted to return to his side.
