Shu Lan then looked up at the second floor.

When he looked up at the second floor, that gaze suddenly disappeared.

Shu Lan was unable to find the source of that gaze.

Qin An, who was sitting on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shu Lan withdraw her gaze.

At this moment, he was wearing a half-mask, which completely covered the area above his nose.

Qin An hadn't expected to run into his master here. He was extremely excited and couldn't help but stare at his master for a while longer. But his master's senses were so sharp that he almost noticed him.

Qin An doesn't want to acknowledge his master brother right away, because he's not ready and doesn't know how to face him.

However, he was already very satisfied just to see his master brother once.

My master is still as wonderful as ever. It's a pity that he doesn't seem to smile much anymore. I remember he used to always have a slight smile on his lips, but now, his expressionless face is so cold and aloof.

Qin An dared not openly stare at his master for long periods of time, and could only steal a glance from time to time.

Shu Lan's experience was far less pleasant. He constantly felt a gaze watching him intermittently, but whenever he tried to look at it, the gaze would disappear. This left him feeling stuck and frustrated.

Suddenly, Shu Lan perked up his ears. He had heard the news he wanted, and he no longer cared about the gazes directed at him.

"Hey! Have you heard about the strange things that have been happening at Tianxiang Pavilion lately?"
