Shi Wei seemed trustworthy, though I planned on doing something like a pact to ensure his cooperation. Unlike all the others, his power was not something to be taken lightly. But I said nothing that might make him think I did not trust his words, and I only followed him inside the palace.
"The cultivation room is sealed. Honestly, I don't believe your friends have the means to open the door, so we don't need to rush things," Shi Wei said as he looked to me and then moved his gaze forward once again, leading us through the multiple hallways of the palace.
I knew that I would get lost alone inside the palace, not knowing the right corridor to take. The place looked like a maze. But with Shi Wei there, everything went smoothly, like a summer breeze.
