The two young girls were concerned, but upon spotting Ah Dao not far away, they fell silent.
Ah Dao did not intend to meddle in their affairs; knowing that the incoming people were from that cold woman’s own, he turned and continued walking.
However, Ah Dao had just taken a few steps when he heard the approaching sound of Wu Nuan and involuntarily paused slightly.
Because of Wu Nuan, he had already delayed searching for his young master. With Bai Junjun, this being of unknowns, he had no clue where she might take his master.
Anxious in his heart, Ah Dao decided to first visit the Yamen, for there gathered a mass of people; perhaps the two of them had headed there.
Little did he know that Wu Nuan and her people would follow him as well.
Ah Dao had no choice but to stop and see what Wu Nuan intended to do.
Yet as he stopped, Wu Nuan continued moving forward, not veering in her gaze and not pausing because of it.
Assured that Wu Nuan was not following him intentionally, Ah Dao then continued forward.
However, after walking a short while, it turned out Wu Nuan had objections, because Ah Dao kept following them, even her Little Maid noticed that he was deliberately trailing them.
The groups kept a wary eye on each other, stopping and going along the way. Upon reaching the County Yamen, they saw Li Wenli and Bai Junjun, on a raised platform, squabbling with the common people.
At that moment, Ah Dao immediately went to his young master’s side, while Wu Nuan also went straight to the side of that deceptive witch doctor.
It was then that both factions were sure; one truly came to find his master, whereas the other was looking for a traitor.
"The subsequent events, the young master then knew about."
Ah Dao had almost spent all his words in this lifetime. When he looked up again, he saw that across from him, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun had fallen asleep.
His own young master stretched his long legs along the wall, while Bai Junjun, leaning on his shoulder, was deep in sleep.
Their heads touched every now and then, a bit too affectionately.
Ah Dao frowned slightly, contemplating across the table whether or not to throw Bai Junjun out.
Seeing how uncomfortably his master slept, what if his arm became numb?
But ultimately, he did nothing, because... the master was not a morning person; once awakened, he’d be upset and would think of ways to make mischief.
In the end, Ah Dao could only silently retreat, adopting an "out of sight, out of mind" tactic.
Who knew, just as Ah Dao was stepping out, he was greeted by the Old Monk smiling at him.
Looking at the Old Monk putting on an act of maturity, Ah Dao appeared puzzled: "What for?"
"Is the Saintess not very beautiful?" the Old Monk asked slyly with a wink.
When he came by, the Saintess had already disappeared, not to mention knowing about Brother Ah Dao’s romantic encounter.
"..." Ah Dao shot him a silent look: "Since when did you start gossiping like Xiao Chan?"
The Old Monk smirked proudly: "I care about you; I couldn’t care less about the others."
"Heh," Ah Dao silently floated back to the top of the Horse Carriage and no longer paid any mind to him.
The Horse Carriage swayed gently forward. Bai Junjun, drowsy, slept very comfortably, and when she opened her eyes again, all she saw was a bright whiteness.
"?" she looked up puzzledly, only to see the familiar Fox sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, and that brightness was from the collar she had pulled open.
The collar of ancient clothes could come loose easily; at this time, Fox, in his deep sleep, exposed his white chest.
Lately, Fox had been eating well, and with the nutrition from the Water of Flora, his body was gradually flourishing.
His physique was now faintly developing the contours of a young man.
