Li Xianyun pulled the soft scarf higher around her neck to prevent those people from getting any ideas at the sight of her.
Both parties were approaching each other.
Li Xianyun saw that the group was mostly Han people, each tall and strong, with faces full of horizontal scars, and all looked at them with scrutinizing eyes.
As they passed by each other, Li Xianyun was thankful for having avoided the group when she suddenly heard the group's leader say, "Stop."
Murong Ce reined in his horse.
The group, like a gust of wind, surrounded the three of them, and the yellow sand raised by the camels rolled with the wind toward the distance.
The leader was a fat, stocky black Han man.
He sized up Murong Ce, Li Xianyun, and Wen Yao before his gaze finally landed on Wen Yao and asked arrogantly, "Did you come from inside the palace?"
Wen Yao forced a smile and replied, "No, I just happen to have a fairer complexion."
