October 25th, at the guesthouse in the suburbs of Kuanwang City.
Immortal Wine stood by the window, peering outside through the gap in the beige curtains. Outside, on the street, passersby came and went, none of them turning their heads.
Light footsteps echoed from outside the door. Immortal Wine swiftly turned her head while her right hand hovered as if grasping air. Then, three knocks resonated from the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
Immortal Wine did not respond or move and even held her breath.
"It wasn't easy finding you. I want to talk. You can call me Xuan Zhi." The actor outside introduced himself—it was Xuan Zhi, who had been searching for Immortal Wine ever since witnessing her escape from the rooftop of that building. Immortal Wine's adeptness at hiding had kept him searching until now, when he finally tracked her down.
