Lu Wan observed the two men's slightly strange expressions with a steady gaze and spoke directly, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. Where does Master Zhao live? Please take us to Su Xiaoxiao."
Fan Yushu smiled and scratched the back of his head, "No problem. Let's head back now, but Teng Ying and I happen to have something to do at the Academy on the way. How about the two maidens wait for us at the gates of the Academy for a while..."
"I apologize, Master Fan," Lu Wan interrupted politely,
"I also have some matters to attend to outside and don't have much time left. I have to leave soon, and I'd like to accompany Xiaoxiao to Master Zhao's residence at East Fence Small House now. If you're busy, of course, we wouldn't want to delay you. There's no need to guide us; just point us in the right direction, and we'll find our way there."
Fan Yushu and Jia Tengying's hearts skipped a beat—done for, she's not easy to fool.
