Lian Hua had been to the Purification Room before and hadn't felt it was a long way, but this time it seemed particularly unbearable. She hurried along, finally making her way through the corridor to the fork in the path. Victory seemed just in sight; the serpentine path that led to the Purification Room was right before her. There was something on the ground, but she didn't notice as she was focused solely on rushing to relieve herself.
Xiao Jizi and Xiao Linzi followed slowly behind, planning to wait at the entrance after everyone had gone in, while Xiao Qing would go in with Lian Hua.
Xiao Linzi, with sharp eyes, spotted something white on the ground and asked, "Master, what is that?"
Lian Hua looked down and saw that it was a crumpled piece of paper right in the middle of her path. It appeared to have some writing on it, resembling something discarded and meant to be thrown away.
