Yuan Hongli was sitting upright on a wooden chair, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand.
She took a sip of tea and looked outside nervously.
The guards at the door were all dressed in black, with the demon sect's signature Asura pattern on their backs, indicating that this was the territory controlled by the demonic sect.
Yuan Bailang, Xi He, and the others would not have allowed their Young Clan Master to put herself in danger, if not for the slip of paper and Yuan Hongling's natural trust in Liu Yuan.
The guide remained loyal to his duty despite the suspicion, questioning, and even threats. This, plus fact that the Mansion Master was discussing matters with the demonic sect's Holy Messenger at Wuyin Cliff, so they finally let her go.
Even so, these people still surrounded the weak yuan Hongli tightly, making the room seem even more crowded. It was even a little funny.
