Chu Li, King Ping, and Lu Yurong were sharing a fun conversation filled with laughter. They looked so happy that it did not seem like they were plotting against each other.
Lady Yuxue was secretly relieved too; it was a good thing she could now listen to what they were talking about. It was better for her to avoid listening to their earlier conversation as overhearing their secrets would only bring death upon herself before she would even realize it.
The three of them drank and chatted away, only leaving once midnight arrived.
Throughout the entire time, Lu Guangdi had not uttered a single word. He merely sat at the side and paid no heed to the snacks or fruits as if he thought of himself as completely invisible.
The three other people ignored him as if they did not see him as well.
At the Yi Public House.
It was the break of dawn and the warm sunshine bathed the entire Yi Public House.
