The maid nicknamed Xiao Lan called from outside the courtyard, “Master, Mister Tang says he has important news and requests to see you.”
“Got it,” Li Yuan answered. He dressed quickly, gave Xue Ning a light kiss on the forehead, and headed out.

“Old Tang,” he greeted.
Tang Qiu inclined his head. “Master, the puppet formation for the Hundred Lotus Manor is complete. I did my best; I can guarantee no one below sixth rank can breach these defenses now.”
Li Yuan simply said, “Good,” then added gently, “How are you holding up?”
Tang Qiu gave a faint smile. “I’ve got two or three days left, at most.”
Li Yuan fell silent.
Tang Qiu continued, “I told Nian Nian I’d be going away on a long journey to visit a senior and study more advanced puppet arts.”
“You’re not worried she’ll be listening at the door?” Li Yuan asked.
