Jiang Ying Yue and Qing Shan entered the front courtyard of the Star-Lake manor where the others had been waiting for their return.
"You both are finally back. You took your time..." Wu Xie, who was the first one to notice them, trailed off mid-sentence when he noticed the solemn looks on both of their faces. In no time, he was right next to Ying Yue and the First Prince as he asked in a worried tone - "What is it? Did something happen?"
The others too noticed the situation and rushed to them. In no time, Ying Yue and Qing Shan were surrounded by the other Princes and Silver.
"Yue, did your plan fail? But that's impossible! You seemed really confident about your plan. Then what happened?" Silver asked as he looked straight at Jiang Ying Yue, his face was a mask of worry that was reflecting on Wu Xie and Wang Shu's faces too.
