Ji Youzhi carried Xiaosuisui all the way back to the Daoist Temple, placed her on the bed to rest, and only after making sure she was sleeping soundly did he leave the room.
He immediately encountered Xie Pan'Er.
"Seventh... Seventh Master!"
Xie Pan'Er was somewhat timid and didn't quite dare to look Ji Youzhi in the eyes.
Ji Youzhi gave a faint nod, inclining his head slightly. "I'll have to trouble Miss Xie to look after my Suisui."
Still with her head bowed, Xie Pan'Er mumbled, "You're too kind, Seventh Master."
Ji Youzhi said nothing more, turned, and walked away.
The Emperor and the National Master, along with Dugu Xiao, Princess Ata, and a resentful-looking Li Yanyan, returned to the Daoist Temple one after another.
As soon as they gathered, the Emperor asked, "What should we do next?"
