"Senior Brother Leng, I'm a little thirsty. Let's go to the teahouse and have some tea."

Leng Lingfeng glanced at the teahouse behind him and nodded. He would go see if there were any private rooms available, as it wasn't appropriate for two girls to be in the main hall.

Yan Xiaoli had been thirsty for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to say so. Bailu understood her, and she smiled gratefully at Bailu.

The two waited downstairs, but Leng Lingfeng didn't return. He bumped into someone in the lobby and was struggling with the person.

Bai Lu was getting anxious; her throat was practically parched. Seeing that Leng Lingfeng hadn't returned, she ran inside to look for him herself.

"Ah Li, you wait here, I'll go check."

Yan Xiaoli was a little scared and was about to follow when a group of people came and led her to the back.

She called out Bailu's name loudly, but Bailu didn't hear her, as she was focused on running towards the teahouse.

Yan Xiaoli was carried away by the crowd for a long time until she finally found freedom in a wide open space.

She looked around and found it quite unfamiliar; she didn't know where she was.

She had no choice but to walk towards a crowded area to ask for directions.

?

When Bai Lu entered the teahouse, she discovered that Leng Lingfeng had already booked a private room and was about to come out to greet them.

How did you get in?

The egret ran to the teapot, saying, "I'm so thirsty, let me have a sip!"

She gulped down three large cups in a row.

"Wow, that feels so good."

Looking at her adorable appearance, Leng Lingfeng couldn't help but smile.

"Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

The egret picked up the snacks again and started eating them; the snacks tasted quite good.

Leng Lingfeng also sat down and watched as Bailu, like a little kitten, finished off the entire plate of snacks.

He grew up in the Qingping Sect and was quite knowledgeable. He knew many people, from delicate and refined ladies like his junior sister to spoiled and willful young ladies, and mostly ordinary village girls who lived submissively and depended on men.

I have never seen such a vibrant and lovely girl before. She is independent, self-reliant, insightful, and occasionally eloquent, composing poems that are truly admirable.

This is a really interesting girl.

"After a good meal, the happiest thing in life is nothing more than a snack, a cup of tea, and a close friend. Now I have all of that, haha..."

Leng Lingfeng was taken aback, his heart racing. Was he her confidant?

An ambiguous relationship developed between the two, and they were both so engrossed in it that they were unaware of it.

"oops!"

Bai Lu slapped her forehead, "I left Ali down there."

Leng Lingfeng's expression hardened, but then he remembered that it was right at the entrance of the teahouse, and felt there was no danger.

"Hmph, if you don't come up yourself, are you waiting to go and ask her?"

Bai Lu chuckled, "I'll go invite her over. Senior brother, just wait here."

After waiting for a while, only Bai Lu came running up in a panic.

"Senior Brother Leng, something terrible has happened! Ali has disappeared!"

She complained as she breathed heavily.

"Did Ali go somewhere else to play? She didn't even tell us."

Having grown accustomed to civilized society in modern times, she had no idea how cruel and terrifying this world could be.

Leng Lingfeng frowned. "No, let's go find it quickly."

He knew his junior sister's personality; she would never go off to play by herself.

The two searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. It was getting dark, and if they waited any longer, it would be dangerous.

"Miss Bai, wait for me at the teahouse. I'll go look for you somewhere further away. You must wait for me to come back and don't get lost."

Bai Lu nodded. She was a little scared. What would she do if Ali got lost?
