With Chao Bai’s strength, Kong Rui appeared on the street outside the imperial capital in a few seconds.
She blinked as she stared at the large plaque on the high wall in front of her. “So soon?”
“When did you go from Spirit Mountain to the imperial capital?” Kong Rui asked curiously.
From how travel-worn Chao Bai was, he didn’t look like he had just arrived at the imperial capital.
At the mention of this, Chao Bai stared at Kong Rui plaintively. “I’ve been looking for you in this city for two days.”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly. “Looking for me?”
In the next moment, Kong Rui finally understood what Chao Bai meant. “Are you saying that ever since you left Spirit Mountain, you have been looking for me?”
Chao Bai nodded and looked at Kong Rui seriously as he said, “I wanted to find you!”
Kong Rui suddenly felt inexplicably touched. Looking at Chao Bai, she even felt that he was a little pitiful.
She lowered her head and sighed softly. “Let’s go! I’ll take you back to the Li family’s home first!”
Chao Bai nodded obediently. He looked comical, but Kong Rui felt a little sorrowful.
Kong Rui walked into the city. After taking a few steps, she heard a group of people discussing.
“Have you heard? Something happened in the First Restaurant!”
“I heard about it too. A group of people is shouting inside. It sounds terrifying from the outside!”
“I wonder what happened inside. The First Restaurant is the signature restaurant of our imperial capital!”
“Could there be outsiders causing trouble in the city?”
“Many outsiders have come to the spirit beast competition!”
Everyone chatted animatedly.
Kong Rui’s eyelids twitched as she listened to these people’s conversation.
Wasn’t this the person who caused trouble in the First Restaurant?
However, Kong Rui didn’t plan to turn him in just like that. After all, she would be implicated if she turned him in!
She wondered how Nie Yin and the others were doing.
Kong Rui couldn’t help but smile when she thought of the scene of Nie Yin being thrown to the ground.
She glanced back at Chao Bai with a smile.
Chao Bai looked back at Kong Rui innocently without taking the words of the people around him to heart.
Kong Rui smiled and continued in the direction of the Li family’s residence. Just as she reached the archway at the corner of the Li family’s street, she saw the Li family’s butler rushing back.
When he saw Li Ling, he immediately ran over. “Oh, my lady, you’re finally back!”
“The Patriarch and the others are worried sick!” The butler shouted, as if Li Ling had encountered some misfortune in the past.
When Kong Rui saw the butler’s anxious expression, she said softly, “What’s wrong?”
The butler didn’t know where to start.
He sighed and bowed slightly before saying to Kong Rui, “You should hurry back to the residence with me so that you can explain to the Patriarch!”
Kong Rui nodded and followed the butler.
After about ten steps, the butler realized that there was someone behind them.
“This is?” The butler looked at Chao Bai in confusion and frowned, as if Chao Bai was a good-for-nothing.
Kong Rui frowned. “Let’s go! I’ll explain to the Patriarch about him.”
The butler didn’t dare to disobey Li Ling, who was in the midst of her peak, and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes! Miss, this way please!”
The three of them entered the Li family’s residence and headed straight for the ancestral hall.
The butler brought the two of them to the ancestral hall and stood respectfully at the side without daring to enter.
“Is Ling’er back?” The Patriarch’s dignified and reprimanding voice sounded from the ancestral hall.
As Kong Rui stood outside, she tried her best to restrain herself from rolling her eyes. She cleared her throat and said, “Yes, Patriarch! I’m back!”
“Yes…” the Patriarch said again.
After a while, the door of the ancestral hall opened and the Patriarch walked out slowly.
When Kong Rui saw the Patriarch’s worldly appearance, a mocking smile appeared on her face.
“Ling’er, do you know what mistake you made today?” The Patriarch’s tone was authoritative.
Kong Rui lowered her head slightly. “I acted on her own accord today and didn’t listen to your instructions.”
The patriarch sighed softly. “You went to the First Restaurant today?”
