The Complex Situation in the Capital City

Amidst the verdant pathways of Qingyun, deep within the woods, three figures traversed uneven terrain, their journey fraught with twists and turns.

"Sir, may I inquire about your identity?" A gentle yet somewhat restrained female voice resonated.

Upon hearing the voice, the leading man furrowed his brow slightly, not bothering to turn around but replying directly, "Knowing too much won't benefit you."

"Oh," the woman sounded somewhat disappointed and fell silent thereafter.

Beside the woman, a man tugged gently at her sleeve, whispering, "Miss Ruyi, refrain from further inquiries; we are not on the same path."

These three individuals were none other than Bao Laiying, Jin Ruyi, and their companions.

Leading the way was Li Ge, contemplating the surroundings while sensing a lingering threat.

Ever since he intervened to save Bao Laiying and the others, that threat had subsided. Yet, it was clear that if he hadn't acted, someone else would have.

But who was this individual?
