When day came and the sun rose, Ming Yue walked out of the brothel. Everyone else had gone to sleep, except for a few in charge of laundry, such a place operated during the night. She turned back finally noticing the name of the place.
"Hmm, Baimei's Garden*, what a fitting name."
The day was early as business had just begun, stalls were still being set up as the street markets slowly opened. Ming Yue headed off with Xiao Yin perched on her shoulder and Hei Yue trotting along.
"I wonder if it's still open."
Walking down one of the lesser known streets, she came across a simple store and found a bit of commotions from inside. Moments later the doors opened as a young man ran out with his tail between his legs. His attendants followed suit, chasing after him. He seemed to be the young master of one of the many families and to her, he seemed very familiar.
