Haoran turned towards Qing'er and Xun'er, "I will be in seclusion for awhile. Do the two of you want to stay here, or go back outside?"
"Well, I'll stay here, young master," Shen Xun'er replied instantly, her voice soft and deferential as she took a half-step back, bowing with graceful refinement. "There's nothing much to do outside anyways. Unless of course you have orders for me."
Beside her, the shadow guard bowed her head, the lethal crimson of her irises gleaming with unwavering loyalty beneath her dark bangs.
"I shall also remain here, young master."
Haoran nodded faintly with satisfaction.
Then, with a casual wave of his broad sleeves, he stepped onto the air, flying towards the Hanging Gardens suspended on the sky of his world in a single stride, and vanished into the inner chambers to begin reconstructing the physical laws of his private universe based on the mathematical paradigms of Blue Star.
