Lu An'an's face was hidden in the interplay of light and shadow, her expression icy: "A rat who may have a blood feud with me."

Wuling Mountain.
The man observed the house where Madam Lu and the old man had lived with great interest, a hint of amusement in his voice: "So they've been hiding here all this time. No wonder I couldn't find them despite sending out so many people all these years."
Behind him, a subordinate followed closely, his expression solemn, his head bowed even lower, as if even his breathing had become cautious: "It was my mistake not to check this place. Please punish me, Master."
The man's fingertips lightly brushed across the table, a movement carrying an unintentional elegance.

The subordinate bowed in agreement, then turned and walked out of the courtyard gate.
