There were two mats in Puqi Shrine, Hua Cheng wasn't there because he has some matter to solve in the ghost city. Feeling empty he couldn’t sleep, his eyes wide awake, but he didn’t dare to toss and turn or he will wake Hua Ying up since the little one will easily wake up during midnight.
After much internal struggles, he was just thinking he might as well go out for a breath of fresh air quietly when suddenly, he heard the window creak. Someone had pushed open the wooden frame softly and hopped inside.
