A group of Clan Elders gathered outside the majestic mansion, anticipating what was about to unfold. Time seemed to stand still as a serene silence enveloped the atmosphere.
They couldn't hear anything inside. Many wanted to go on to check, but the Warriors of the Royal Army prevented them.
Some soldiers also held Yunxi and her maid, who struggled fiercely to enter the mansion to save the Former Emperor. Unfortunately, the soldiers didn't allow her to enter, at least not until their General returned, since it was the General who locked the two ladies out.
The silence was deafening. But that scary silence was soon broken by the sound of footsteps.
The footsteps didn't belong to just one person. There was another pair mixed in. All the Clan Elders laid attention to the hallway.
Soon, they saw a person. It was the General! The General was finally back. However, for some reason, the Clan Elders felt that something was wrong.
