The little curled up ball inside the s.p.a.ce was still coiled up quietly and the corners of Qing Yu’s lips then curled up slightly. "Little Burrow, I miss you so much!"

The rain outside had not lightened up in the slightest, but had grown heavier instead. The sky outside was dark and grey that gradually covered everything in a layer of misty fog, making it impossible to differentiate whether it was dawn or dusk.

Cultivating the elixirs had taken quite a bit out of Qing Yu and she was actually feeling a little sleepy at that moment, her eyes slowly closing.

"This is just great Second Brother! There’s a cave up ahead and we can finally get out of this rain!"

The figures of a man and a woman slowly appeared within the rain. The man was holding a outer layer of clothing over the two people’s heads, to shield themselves just a little from the rainwater.

The person who spoke was dressed in a light purple dress with ruffled trim, a little drenched and her hair a little messed up, but her pretty face was still tinted with a sliver of delight. This young lady was the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, Yu Xiao Ning.

"I really have to take my hat off to you Ning Ning. Don’t you know that the weather these couple of days isn’t all that suitable for travel? And you still insisted on coming out. This is just great. We’re now wetter than chickens drenched in soup!" The blue robed man was sunny and good looking, the expression on his face a little begrudging, but seemed more doting and helpless against the young lady.

He was the Left Prime Minister’s second son, Yu Ting Xuan.

Yu Xiao Ning stuck her tongue out mischievously. "Aiyah, Big Brother is always so busy you can barely catch a glimpse of him and Third Brother is such a playboy loitering among the flowers all the time. Only Second Brother is willing to keep me company. I’m really lonely you know!"

"Naughty imp." The man rapped her on the head with a laugh. "Hurry up and go inside to hide. It will be bad if you catch a cold."

"I know I know." Yu Xiao Ning quickened her steps, and went running into the cave, with Yu Ting Xuan following closely behind.

Qing Yu heard the commotion and slowly opened her eyes, to suddenly see a man and a woman barging their way in.

The two people had not thought that there would be someone inside and the two of them were stunned for a moment. Yu Xiao Ting managed to react first, to smile gently. "We came in here to hide from the rain. Apologies as we must have startled the young missy here."

"It’s alright." Qing Yu nodded her head at her. "Do as you please."

Upon saying that, she shut her eyes again.

Yu Xiao Ning pulled her brother to come walk inside and found themselves a dry spot to sit. She suddenly let out a soft sneeze and she rubbed her nose as she said: "It’s so cold in here!"

Yu Ting Xuan stood up and found a number of tree twigs near the cave’s mouth. He carried some of them over and lit it with spirit power, to start a small little fire.

"Ning Ning, sit closer by the warmth of the fire so you won’t feel cold." Yu Ting Xuan said gently.

Yu Xiao Ting listened to him and shifted herself closer to the fire, her tiny hands stretched out to gather some warmth.

At that moment, the inside of the cave regained its silence, and only the crackling of the burning twigs could be heard.

Yu Xiao Ting must have been rather tired as having warmed up by the fire after awhile, she leaned against her brother and immediately fell asleep, letting out faint snores.

Yu Ting Xuan hugged his own arms and was leaned himself back on the side, his gaze unconsciously drifting over to the other young lady sitting cross legged in the corner. Her countenance was exquisite looking, the air she exuded extraordinary, seemingly a member of prominent family clan with just one look.

After looking at her for awhile, he then turned his gaze back.

She gently shifted Yu Xiao Ting pet.i.te frame close to him, and placed his hand gently on her forehead to check if her temperature was normal before feeling relieved.

Qing Yu had closed her eyes and rested for awhile. Her body feeling much better, she then yawned before she stood up from the ground, to lightly dust off her clothes.
