She pondered for a moment, then took Fourth Master's hand and said, "Master, these past few days, I've been feeling uneasy, as if... something is about to happen."
Fourth Master's grip tightened as he looked at her, "Don't be scared, nothing will happen."
"Mm, please be careful, Master," Ye Zao said sincerely.
Fourth Master hummed in agreement, touched her face, and said, "You rest first, I'm going to see Big Brother. I'll be back soon."
Ye Zao hummed in response and had someone hold an umbrella for him as he left.
The rain had lessened, but Fourth Master's shoes were still soaked through.
It seemed Prince Zhi had been waiting for him; upon his arrival, someone was sent to invite him in.
"Fourth brother, sit," Prince Zhi gestured dismissively, "If you hadn't come, I would have sent someone for you."
"Big brother, what has happened?" Fourth Master frowned.
