After the bearded male cultivator left, the remaining rogue cultivators also returned to their rooms, and some even began packing their belongings.
They were just waiting for news of Ji Fengyao's death to spread.
They would then make their escape immediately, leaving Guyue City and the Dongdan family's sight completely.
Hao Yan scanned the area with his divine sense and silently memorized the names of these leaders.
When they reached a small alley near the courtyard that the Dong Dan family had arranged for Dong Dan Shuiyue, they were suddenly stopped by a servant in blue.
The young servant in blue removed the human skin mask from his face, revealing himself to be the same servant who had delivered the message to Hao Yan earlier.
"You..." Hao Yan suspected that he had fallen into someone's trap and was about to question them.
"Don't make a sound, come with me," the servant said, using telepathy to stop Hao Yan. He then revealed a corner of Bai Yusheng's personal jade pendant, which was hidden in his sleeve, for Hao Yan to see.
Hao Yan recognized Bai Yusheng's aura, so he immediately shut up and turned around to call the boy and the others to walk together.
"This person is reliable," the young man asked Hao Yan telepathically as he walked.
His tone was extremely indifferent, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him.
Yet his choice was remarkably firm and his values were impeccable, which contradicted his expression.
Hao Yan found the young man interesting and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. Then, after carefully discerning the direction the servant was leading them, he said with certainty, "This servant is leading us towards the Qian family. In this Ancient Moon City, those who know that Miss has a relationship with the Qian family are people that Miss trusts. This servant must have been sent by Bai Yusheng."
The young man simply grunted in response and then fell silent.
Hao Yan couldn't help but look at him curiously a few more times, and asked, "Young friend, what's your name?"
The young man, Wu Dongyu, gave a brief and indifferent answer.
"You're new here, aren't you?" Hao Yan asked again.
The boy gave another soft "hmm," without any impatience, but his tone was more indifferent, almost cold.
"You're a newcomer, you've barely seen Miss, and you might not even have spoken to her. Where did you get the determination to go through fire and water for Miss and risk your life? Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like an impulsive person," Hao Yan asked curiously.
The boy didn't say anything more, and his slender fingers, which were usually tucked into his sleeves, curled up slightly.
Not just anyone can make him go through fire and water or risk his life.
But Miss... he was certain he had no designs on her, but he felt a strange sense of familiarity with her.
That sense of intimacy seemed to stem from blood ties and instinct, making him involuntarily want to get close to her and find warmth in her embrace.
The servant led Hao Yan and the others into the Qian family through the back door.
Seeing Ji Fengyao, Xique, An Zijin, and others sitting in the hall, drinking tea and chatting, Hao Yan and the young man were both a little stunned.
What happened to the life-or-death crisis we were promised?
What happened to risking one's life?
Is this some kind of tea-drinking, sunflower seed-eating, and chatting contest, to see who can die from overeating or laughing first?
Thinking back to the faces of those unwilling cultivators in Vulture Courtyard, Hao Yan's lips twitched involuntarily. He felt as if he understood something and began to gloat: If those people knew that this was the second test that Miss had given them, they would definitely regret it to the core.
But the next second...
"Since you're all here, let's first make a lifelong vow to the Heavenly Dao before we get down to business," Ji Fengyao said, looking at the group with gentle eyes.
Although her smile was bright and gentle, it was definitely in a serious tone.
