"You want me to meet your family? Why?" Yuan looked at Lan Yingying with wide eyes.
"Because I want to confirm something. Perhaps it might even have something to do with you being here," she said in a calm voice.
"Really?" Yuan's eyes flickered with excitement. Since she's the guardian of this place, and her family used to serve the swordmaster who marked this stone tablet, they might know something about the voice that beckoned him, perhaps even the faceless individual he saw outside the Mystic Realm.
Lan Yingying nodded and said, "It's only half an hour away from this place. Follow me."
She then turned around and walked out of the temple in a casual manner, acting as though her clothes weren't in such a shabby state.
Yuan didn't linger around and proceeded to follow her outside the temple.
