"M-Master? What are you doing in our room?" Fei Yuyan asked her with a drowsy face, clearly still half asleep.

"It's already morning! Aren't you going to meet with Master Zou today?" Elder Shan reminded her.

Fei Yuyan's eyes widened when she noticed Yuan standing by the door, and she woke up almost instantly, "I-I am sorry! I overslept!"

Fei Yuyan quickly got off the bed with a flushed face, feeling embarrassed to be seen in such a messy appearance by Yuan.

Xuan Wuhan also got off the bed and quickly fixed her appearance.
