She was brought here blindfolded. Without sight, she couldn't discern the route, so she didn't know where she had been sold. The people in the slave shop wouldn't mention the name of this place to the slaves, just so they wouldn't know their current location. That way, even if they tried to escape, they wouldn't know where to go, and they wouldn't have any hope that any of their own kind would come to their rescue.
Lanarita is very close to the tribe's territory. If they can escape... they should still be able to catch up?
Tsukuyomi was unaware of Setsuna's inner thoughts. After a brief moment of contemplation, she answered Setsuna's subsequent question:
"As for Lord Chen Hao... how should I put it? He's a good person, compassionate and gentle, but very harsh on his enemies."
“He is really different from other humans. He can treat demi-humans as equals. He bought the two of us from slave traders.”
"Then not only did they cure your illness, they also destroyed and removed all the slave collars on us, giving us back our freedom and allowing us to choose whether to stay or leave."

She spoke hurriedly in an instant, then rolled over and got out of bed.
"etc!"
Tsukuyo quickly grabbed Setsuna's hand, preventing her from leaving.
"Don't stop me! Setsuna really has something very important to do!"
In an instant, she glared fiercely at Tsukuyo, ice crystals forming on her arm. Tsukuyo felt the icy chill on her hand and quickly let go to avoid getting frostbite.
In an instant, his hands were covered with giant claws formed of ice crystals, clearly in a battle stance.
She has very important things to do, and even if this is a fellow demi-human who has taken care of her, she absolutely cannot stop her!
