The woman from Shuanghe Temple reported her task, bowed, and withdrew.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were the only ones left in the grand hall.
"Greetings, sister-in-law,"
Chen Yuan said with a light smile.
Li Hongshuang hooked her lips, waving her horsetail whisk to set up prohibitions around them.
"Sit."
"Alright."
Without any hesitation, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion in front of her.
"Have you come to see me because you've encountered some difficulties?"
Li Hongshuang asked directly.
Shaking his head, Chen Yuan replied,
"It's not that, I just plan to leave the Capital for a while and I wanted to inform my sister-in-law."
"Leaving?" Li Hongshuang's eyebrows raised:
"Why are you leaving?"
"I've hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I thought about traveling for some time."
Chen Yuan repeated his earlier excuse.
But Li Hongshuang was staring at him intently, speaking slowly,
"Is that really the case?"
"What else could it be?"
