They could not turn back time, unfortunately.
Huo Yao lowered her eyes and paused for a second before she changed her subject. "When do you plan on going back home?"
Mi Wei held his tobacco pipe out of habit but did not light up. He simply replied. "In a couple of days."
Huo Yao nodded. "The sooner the better. It's not safe outside."
"What about you? Shangguan Hou already knows you're alive. I'm sure he won't let you off." Mi Wei spoke solemnly.
Huo Yao pursed her lips and replied mildly. "Since there's no avoiding him, I can only wait for him to come for me."
"But…" Mi Wei's lips parted wanting to speak, but Huo Yao interrupted him again.
"I used to think all I wanted was freedom and thought it wasn't half bad to sit around and do nothing." Huo Yao looked out the window with a profound look in her eyes.
She turned her head and continued. "However, I have changed my mind."
