After the tension had subsided, the group gathered their belongings and headed to where a large, sleek bus bearing the Ming Family crest awaited them. The vehicle, designed for long-distance travel, was both sturdy and imposing.
The bus doors opened with a hiss, and the group filed in, each person taking a seat. Chen Tian settled near the front, with Aria and Emilia on either side of him.
Ming Lei and Liang Wei positioned themselves farther back, while Han Zhi and Mei Zhi took seats together, with Lin Xue and Ming Ming right behind Chen Tian and the girls.
As the bus rumbled to life and began its journey toward the ruins, Patriarch Ming Jian stood at the front, facing the group.
"Alright, everyone, before we arrive at our destination, there are some things you need to know." His deep voice cut through the hum of the engine.
Chen Tian leaned forward slightly, his focus sharpening as Ming Jian continued.
