As Bai Zemin and Lilith walked downstairs to the dining room, they both looked at each other in silence, and for a moment, they both paused as if by prior agreement in an attempt to listen for sounds coming from the lower floor.
In fact, it was strangely silent. Except for the sound of dishes being moved and kitchen utensils being moved on what appeared to be the marble kitchen countertop there was no sound to be heard.
Bai Zemin shook his head when he noticed Lilith's questioning eyes before taking the initiative to go downstairs, being followed a step or two behind by her like a good and obedient wife.
As they reached the corner of the staircase and entered the main corridor, the sight of the large living room attached to the dining room came into the line of sight of both of them after walking a couple of steps.
