The thought of this possibility made Ye Shuang restless. In order not to attract attention, she had not set up any protective barrier at all, but had just set up a barrier that ordinary people could not find. This could not stop people from the cultivation world.
Li Wenyi didn't notice Ye Shuang's tense expression. After inspecting the streets, he took Ye Shuang home.
As night fell and the streets fell silent, Ye Shuang led Bai Xue out step by step, casually setting up a barrier around the small courtyard. She then flew into the air, while Bai Xue remained the same size, relying on her own strength to follow Ye Shuang in the air.
Ye Shuang took out a white mask that could block divine sense from probing her face and put it on. She was also dressed in all white, without any patterns, and covered with a white veil of mermaid silk, making it even more difficult to tell whether she was male or female.
With just one step, Ye Shuang stopped above the inn. None of the cultivators noticed her; one or two were still immersed in their near-invincible state in this world, casually eating, drinking, and chatting.
"I only just learned of your visit; please forgive my lateness." Ye Shuang transmitted her voice using divine sense, a message that only those with cultivation could hear.
Upon hearing this, a flurry of panic erupted among the dozen or so people below. One or two of them even jumped out of the inn through the windows, landing on the street and looking around before finally spotting Ye Shuang suspended in mid-air.
The dozen or so people looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no choice but to let the Golden Core cultivator fly on his sword first. When he reached mid-air, he realized that Ye Shuang was not alone. He was terrified and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Greetings, senior. We are new to your place and were unaware that you were here. We did not present our visiting card. We have been impolite."
"I wonder what brings you all here so suddenly? Perhaps I can be of assistance." Ye Shuang directly changed the subject of apologizing, even disguising her voice, which now sounded completely androgynous.
Seeing Ye Shuang's leniency, the man breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, the spiritual energy around Ye Shuang was clear and without any impurities, so it was obvious that she was not a demon. He relaxed his guard and said, "We are here on the orders of the Alliance Leader to find the true dragon emperor and secretly help him ascend the throne and rule the world."
Ye Shuang suddenly realized that these people knew nothing at all. It seemed that they were the vanguard sent down by that group of old foxes. In that case, it didn't matter: "So that's what it was for. Then you've come to the wrong place. There is no true dragon emperor here."
“We are aware of this. Before we came down, the Alliance Leader also gave us instructions that we should not directly look for the True Dragon Emperor himself, but should start by looking for his subordinates. We had already discovered that there was one here before we descended to the mortal realm.”
Ma Rencai? Ye Shuang subconsciously thought of this person. This wouldn't do. Her brother finally had a confidant, and it would be a pity to lose him like this. "Then there should be more than one subordinate, right? Do you need to gather so many people to find an ordinary mortal? This is too much of a show of force."
Hearing Ye Shuang say this, the man smiled and said, "We are also new to the mortal realm. Moreover, once we find someone, we have to leave one person behind to protect him. This kind of task is simple and boring, so we decided after discussion that we will play and search together. Once we find someone, one person will stay behind, and the rest of us will search for the next person together."
Ye Shuang's lips twitched. Should she stop this move, or let it develop unchecked?
