Sometime later, Yuan followed Fei Yuyan and approached the guards with her.

"Welcome, Fairy Fei." The guards immediately recognized her beautiful appearance.

"It's been a while, you two. I would like to go inside with a friend today," Fei Yuyan said to them.

The guards turned to look at Yuan's masked face, but since he was wearing the Dragon Essence Temple's uniforms, they didn't bother to question his identity.

"I understand. You have an hour instead."

The guards then opened the door until there was just enough room for one of them to walk inside.

Once they were inside, the guards closed the heavy doors shut.

"Do you come here often?" Yuan asked her after they entered this empty but spacious room.

"No, I've only been here three times since the last competition," Fei Yuyan shook her head.

"Anyway, come look at this."

Fei Yuyan suddenly grabbed Yuan's hands and dragged him towards the center of the room where a large white blanket was covering a round table alongside something else.

"What do you think is underneath the blanket?" Fei Yuyan asked him after casually releasing his hand.

Yuan looked at the familiar-looking shape and said, "Is it a zither?"

Fei Yuyan nodded with a smile, "Correct!"
