"Yes, the Snow Nation's delegation!"
Ao Chunqiu caught his breath and continued, "A delegation from the Snow Nation happened to come to the capital during those few days. I met them when they were visiting the imperial palace. At that time, I only took a glance at the people from the Snow Nation and didn't pay much attention to them.
"But when the phenomenon in the Chengtian Palace intensified, I received news from the You Family and entered the secret chamber. Only then did I realize that I had seen the two women who followed me into the secret chamber before in the Snow Nation's delegation!
"These two women are very strong, yet they had no intention of killing me. They only suppressed me from the start and rendered me immobile.
"I watched them search the secret chamber and find a stone slab before leaving.
"After they left, I regained my mobility and found the Heavenly Star Disk as the You Family had instructed. I also left the secret chamber.
