Shen Yunxi and Shen Xinghan waited outside the room for quite a while, but there was no sound coming from within.
The siblings exchanged a glance and, gathering their courage, barged in.
Yet they heard the splashing of water behind the folding screen—Lu Ying was bathing, no wonder he hadn't heard their knocking.
Shen Yunxi glanced around. The Zen room wasn't large and had no place to hide a person.
Could it be that she was overthinking things again?
Lu Ying's icy voice suddenly came from behind the folding screen: "What is it? Do you think it's permissible to intrude upon my Zen room at will?"
Shen Yunxi quickly bowed toward the screen and cautiously peeked inside. "Forgive me, Your Highness. It was not my intention to intrude. I merely grew worried because I heard no response from you. Fearing something might have happened, I let my concern get the better of me—"
"Get out."
Terrified, Shen Yunxi fled in a flash, not daring to linger for even a moment.
