Xu Yifei said to a female follower, "It is quite inappropriate for Ji Yuan's painting to be displayed in my tavern alone. Tomorrow, have an escort ready to take the painting to the Divine Temple where it will be displayed as a valuable legacy for the future generations. But for now, you are dismissed and so is the rest."
Her order and dismissal were quickly acknowledged.
As for the rest of the other 4 divine consorts, they had also dismissed all their followers, leaving only the 5 of them to look at the drunken Ji Yuan who was still babbling in the banquet seat.
Xu Yifei then erected an anti-sound barrier around them so that their conversations would be secret.
Once they were all secured from scrying, Sun Dingjun pretended to ask innocently as she giggled. "So, shall we ask Ji Yuan who he wants to escort him back to his room? Just thinking about this makes me flush, flush with shyness."
