Outside the room.
Li Zhibai paused her motion to push the door, retracting her fair fingers into the wide sleeves of her red dress.
"..."
Deathly silence.
Without making a sound, Li Zhibai's red dress seemed to ripple, concealing all fluctuations and breaths.
With her cultivation, she had long achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, perfectly blending into the surrounding environment. So, even though she had walked to the door, she did not alarm the people inside.
Li Zhibai had never thought that one day, this realm would be used for eavesdropping.
But she indeed heard... something incredible.
——
Outside the window, the pattering of rain tried to conceal the secrets within the room, but Zhu Pingniang's triumphant voice, seemingly boasting to Wen Li, continuously came from inside.
"Ah Li, sister and you are not alike. You are close to Chang'an yet have no desires in your heart; I've come to realize my feelings for Ah Bai now."
