Tonger didn't suspect anything amiss, but Bai Xue felt something was not quite right. Although she said she was just strolling around, Jiang Li's steps were clearly steadfast, as if she was determined to head to a particular place. And Bai Xue had a feeling that Jiang Li was very familiar with Xiangyang. It was just like how their farmer employers knew exactly where each grain and every fruit were planted and would not mix them up.
But Tonger had said that it was Jiang Li's first time returning to Xiangyang, and others had said the same, so it was probably just her own misapprehension. Bai Xue shook her head, casting out the strange feeling from her mind.
Yet, this intuition of hers was soon confirmed.
After walking for a while more, Jiang Li stopped.
"Miss?" Tonger halted as well, thinking that Jiang Li was tired and hastily offered, "Are you weary? Shall I help you rest for a bit?"
"No need," Jiang Li said, "Let's go in."
