The night was deep, the moon hung high.
Someone knocked on the gate of Xie Xuanyi's courtyard on the mountaintop.
The visitor was none other than Venerable Huo Gu, with whom there had been several brief encounters earlier.
"Brother Lu, sorry to intrude."
Huo Gu stood outside the door and spoke very politely: "I don't know if Brother has time to spare, might we chat for a while?"
He had deliberately brought a jar of wine as a visiting gift.
The Divine Soul conversation via the Ruyi Order had just concluded.
Xie Xuanyi readily opened the door and let Huo Gu in, but the moment the latter stepped into the courtyard, he began looking around everywhere.
"Brother Huo, what are you doing?"
Xie Xuanyi let out a soft snort, knowing Huo Gu was looking for Cui Zhen.
"That young lady from earlier today… why isn't she here?"
Huo Gu blinked, his face full of regret.
There are some people whom one only glimpses in passing, yet they shake the heart and are never forgotten for life.
