After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Mo walked alone down the long street toward the courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Xin Xiao'er leaning against the doorframe, her indifferent eyes watching him quietly.
"Miss Xin." Xiao Mo gave a slight nod in greeting.
"Mm." Xin Xiao'er nodded lightly, her tone still mild and distant. "You're going to the Yuzhu Secret Realm?"
"Yes," Xiao Mo replied with a smile. "Elder Hongxia said we're leaving in the next day or two. When do you plan to go?"
"Now." Xin Xiao'er dropped the single word curtly, then turned and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
Xiao Mo was long accustomed to her frosty demeanor.
The only thing that came as a slight surprise to Xiao Mo was that Xin Xiao'er's true Realm was, in fact, the Nascent Soul Realm. She had certainly hidden it well.
