"Xifeng, everyone is gathering downstairs because dinner is about to start! Lanying sent me up to fetch you." Xie Jingguo stated with a friendly grin.
"Oh! I am coming right down. Give me just a minute." Bai Xifeng said. She turned back toward Tao-chan, who was still aggressively eating his way through the mountain of food. "Tao-chan, stay inside the room and finish up your food peacefully."
"Yeah, yeah... got it! You go, go go!" Tao-chan waved his little paw dismissively without even looking up from his meal.
Bai Xifeng stepped out into the hallway, closed the door behind her, and locked it securely. Walking down to the main tavern hall, she found a boisterous, merry atmosphere underway. Zhang Zhenyu had generously rented out a long private table and ordered a lavish, mouthwatering feast for their entire group.
"Ah, Lady Bai! You are here!" Zhang Zhenyu called out, rising politely from his seat as soon as he spotted her.
"Hmm," Bai Xifeng nodded in greeting.
