Poison-bearers can hope too

Night had already fallen when Luhan and his fellow Poison-bearers were released by the City Guards. Just like what Lin Mo said to them, they only needed to tell them what they told him.

Nonetheless, despite being released, they noticed that they were being followed on their way back to where they were currently staying.

His two companions couldn't help but feel uneasy as they walked through the dimly lit streets of Fanling City.

The presence of their unseen watchers was like a boulder hanging above their heads making every step feel like they were treading on thin ice.

"Luhan… they're still following us," One of his companions, Jiao, whispered nervously. His voice was barely audible over the distant chatter of the city's night market.

"I know," Luhan replied, "Don't panic. If they wanted to arrest or kill us, they would've done so already."
