Since Clan Leader Tu Zheng had already said as much, Hu Qingtong could only stay at home and wait, putting her heart into cooking a few good dishes for Ye Zhen and Zhu Hong.
During the meal, she didn't ask where Chi Ling'er had gone. Mainly because Chi Ling'er was quite well-behaved; before leaving to play with her little friends, she had informed Hu Qingtong, so Hu Qingtong hadn't taken it to heart.
Reunited after a long separation, whether it was Ye Zhen, Hu Qingtong, or Zhu Hong, they drank to their hearts' content. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed, and the sky had darkened.
"That little monkey Chi Ling'er, once she starts playing she goes crazy and forgets to come home. Brother Ye, Brother Zhu, you two sit a while longer. It's getting late, I'll go call Chi Ling'er back," Hu Qingtong said.
As a Disciple, tasks fall on her shoulders; Ling Qianbi immediately volunteered, saying she would go out and call Chi Ling'er back.
Ye Zhen nodded with pleasure.
