Ruan Li hadn't had a chance to delve deeper when she heard small movements not far outside the cave.
Little Qi hopped and skipped out of the cave.
"Little female, why aren't you inside keeping the master company?"
It quickly noticed someone outside the cave watching furtively.
The robot's view was more comprehensive than a human's, and although that person quickly dodged away, it still managed to capture their appearance.
Ruan Li looked at the smile projected by Little Qi and once again thought about the question that had puzzled her before.
Little Qi hadn't had time to call out to Ruan Li before seeing her walk outside.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Leaving these words, Ruan Li headed towards the dark wilderness.
Moonlight left only a faint glow, barely enough to discern direction.
The sound of crushing wild grass came from beneath her feet; Ruan Li could only hear her own footsteps. Yet, she could sense another burning gaze fixed on her.
