Luring the Snake Out of the Cave (1)

There was something going on in the military camp today. When Xiao Qirui returned to the residence, the sky had already turned dark. From afar, he could see the faint light coming from the Splendid Courtyard, and he could vaguely hear voices.

He took a few steps closer to hear more clearly. Before he could approach, he heard footsteps. Xiao Qirui quickly turned around to leave.

"Young master?" A surprised voice came from behind.

The only person who would call him that was the maidservant beside Yuan Yuwan. Xiao Qirui stopped in his tracks, but You Bai had already jogged in front of him and blocked his way.

Xiao Qirui could only nod at her as if nothing had happened. "I was passing by."

You Bai did not notice that something was wrong with him and said happily, "That's good. Young Master, have you eaten?"
