The Help

After Xue Ling was done serving Chu Li's lunch, she noticed that he was still concentrating on studying his formations. She knew that he would not listen to what she had to say, so she left the Glory's Will Courtyard on a boat and headed towards the East Garden.

In the distance, Li Yue was standing at the shore prepared to welcome her.

When he saw Xue Ling, he waved his hand with vigor.

Xue Ling calmly waved back and stopped gesturing until the boat had reached the shore.

Li Yue walked forward with a smile and said, "Miss Xue Ling, is Chu Li back?"

Xue Ling usually handled her matters swiftly and decisively and she was always on time. The only reason why Xue Ling would arrive later than she had the day before could only be because of Chu Li. He was the only reason that could cause a delay in her schedules.

Xue Ling gently stepped onto the shore, and replied, "Yes, he just returned."
