Early the next morning, just as daylight broke,
Lin Jing stood up, ending his meditation.
After a day's rest, Lin Jing had finally recovered.
The day before,
the two had agreed to meet Elder Bai at Yuebaolou today.
So, early this morning, Lin Jing woke up.
He quickly got ready and then headed out.
Before long, Lin Jing arrived at Huang Qingling's courtyard.
Just as he was about to knock, Huang Qingling opened the door and came out.
Seeing Lin Jing, Huang Qingling smiled and teasingly said,
"You're quite early..."
"You seemed so reluctant yesterday; I was afraid you'd run off by yourself. I was thinking of coming to get you early."
"I didn't expect you to be so proactive. Now it's perfect; I don't have to go looking for you."
Huang Qingling's words left Lin Jing with a wry smile, and he replied,
"You worry too much, daoist Qing Ling. Even if I didn't want to go, I would have explained it to Elder Yu."
