Can't Believe It...

The guard that Rean talked to was quite surprised to see Waritala leaving the mansion, as he didn't know she had come back. Even more surprising, the guy who he had sold the information to was with her, followed by one extra person. Still, since Waritala seemed to be flying with them of her own accord, it wasn't his place to say anything. 'How did he manage to do that?'

Unaware of the guard's thoughts, Rean, Roan, and Waritala flew above the city, joining many other cultivators and demon beasts that had their own things to do. Rean took the chance, being the first one to ask questions. 

"Lady Waritala, I'm pretty confident in my ability to explore the flaws in formations and sneaking around. When I arrived at your mansion, I was sure those puppets didn't have any Circuitry Formation Runes related to monitoring and detection. Yet, you spoke through one of them first, showing it was the puppet that noticed our existence. How was that possible?"
