In the year 680, Zhong Lizi attended the Designer's Tea Party with Bai Jinjin serving as his model at their booth. At this event, they met Nikki, Momo, Bobo and Lunar.[14][1] However, during the event, he made up an excuse for her to leave the booth and asked another model to try on another type of design.[15] Jinjin witnessed the interaction and he had to chase her down in order to apologize for her.[16]
Things only got worse when Dansu, a dancer and assassin, was sent to the event to track down Bai Jinjin.[16] Lizi and Jinjin bade Nikki goodbye[13] and left for the north, but Jinjin could not handle the cold weather, so they returned to Long Street, Cloud.[17] However, they quickly had to leave there after Qiong, another agent of Bai Jinjin's father, was sent after them.[18]
