Invitation to a Feast

In the inn's courtyard… Shi Mu was in the shadows. He was gazing in the direction of Zhong Xiu's residence.

Some time had passed since Xiao Wei had entered the room. But, there hadn't been the slightest of movement or sound from Zhong Xiu's residence so far. The situation rather seemed a little different from his anticipation.

But then, a sound of footsteps spread from outside the courtyard. Shi Mu's brows wrinkled, and he swept his spirit sense in that direction. He found that the approaching person was Leng Yue Tong. Her glowing facial expressions were ample enough to assume that she was in great delight. It seemed that she had returned from a very amusing trip to the city because of which she was in a buoyant mood.

Shi Mu obviously wasn't going to show up and greet her. So, he remained hidden in the same place.
