After the other three left to look around, Cheng Zongyang also departed, heading for the Spring Pavilion.
Before his previous departure, he had sent a letter to Lady Qin, simply letting her know he would be away for some time. They were friends, after all, and he didn't want her to come looking for him one day only to find him gone.
The chances of that were slim, though.
He spent five Spirit Crystals on a carriage ride to the Spring Pavilion.
The door was open, and he could hear people chatting on the second floor. He glanced inside. The main hall of the Spring Pavilion was rather dim, with only two young girls sweeping the floor.
KNOCK KNOCK. Cheng Zongyang rapped on the doorframe. "Is Lady Qin in?"
Cheng Zongyang's sudden voice startled the two young girls, who were sweeping with their backs to the entrance. They spun around in a hurry.
The two of them breathed a small sigh of relief when they saw it was Cheng Zongyang.
They recognized him.
