The two stood at the edge of the crowd and watched the bustling scene.
Just then, Bai He pointed in a direction not far off. "Miss, isn't that General Long?"
Hearing this, Lin Qingyuan tore her gaze away from the scene and followed her finger. Sure enough, she spotted Long Xuan and his attendants sauntering in her direction.
A frown creased Lin Qingyuan's forehead. "What rotten luck!"
Before they could slip away, Long Xuan caught sight of her and approached her. "What brings you here, Miss Lin?"
"If you can come here, why can't I?" Lin Qingyuan's tone was gruff.
Unfazed by her attitude, Long Xuan gestured at their surroundings with his folding fan and said mockingly, "I was just curious why you two are the only young ladies in this big place."
Lin Qingyuan looked around furtively and realized that she and Bai He were indeed the only women there. Feeling a little sheepish, she shot back, "Are you saying that women can't come here?"
