Xiaoqian sat upright upon the throne, her gaze sweeping across the room before she called Xiaohua to her side and asked with a hint of puzzlement, "Why hasn't Guan Qing come?"
"Holy Maiden, I'm not sure why Guan Qing hasn't arrived either. I already reminded him yesterday to gather early today; perhaps he simply forgot," Xiaohua replied, sounding somewhat helpless.
"He probably overslept," Xiaoqian said offhandedly. "Xiaohua, go to the Taiyi Zixiao Court and bring Guan Qing here."
"Understood, Holy Maiden." Xiaohua offered a respectful bow and immediately departed the Sacred Light Pavilion.
Walking along the path toward the Taiyi Zixiao Court, Xiaohua muttered to herself the whole way, complaining about Lěng Yè's tardiness. She had explicitly reminded him repeatedly yesterday, yet Lěng Yè still managed to be late—especially on such an important occasion. Today was the first day of the month, the time when the Holy Maiden held her monthly lectures to answer questions and resolve doubts for the disciples. As a new disciple, Lěng Yè ought to have arrived on time.
