"Is this all of it, Crux?". I asked as I sat cross-legged in the middle of my room with books and scrolls scattered on the floor.
"Yes, my Lady". He said.
"And are you sure the book is safe?". I asked.
"I assure you that it's safe, My Lady". He said.
"Aside from the Celestial King and yourself, no one in the Celestial Realm is aware of my possession of it, correct?". I asked.
"No one, not a soul". He said, I hummed.
"Thank you. If I require further assistance, I'll call on you. You may return now.". I said as I grabbed a scroll and began to read, he looked at me worriedly before disappearing.
I spent almost the entire day reading and taking notes, to the point where I skipped dinner and a scheduled meeting with Wei Wing, whom I'm upset with. Even when some tried to coax me out of the room, I simply ignored them and kept working or dismissed them.

"Meigui? Are you in there?". I heard Yanli called worriedly.
"A-Mei, you've been secluded all day, and everyone is concerned; you even missed dinner. Please, open up!". Jiang Cheng said as he banged on the door again.
"Perhaps I could utilize this method to communicate with the spirits at the Stone Circle. It might allow me to connect with their realm and even converse with the most formidable spirit to understand their desires. But regarding the writing, it seems familiar, yet no recollection surfaces—could it be a forgotten memory?". I mumbled as I looked through the notes I took from a few years back, suddenly a book fell from my bed which made me look.
"That's the book I hid from Father and Baihe Dong". I said to myself as I crawled over and picked it up.
"Meigui, please open up, we want to know that your ok". She said worriedly.
