After Wales departed, it wasn't long before Howard heard the guard's voice: "Respected Mr. Howard, we have arrived at the teleportation array!"
Lifting the carriage curtain, Howard realized they had stopped before an altar constructed of wood.
A guard troop was stationed near the altar, on high alert.
At the very center of the altar was a raised platform -- evidently, the location of the teleportation array.
As Howard surveyed the altar, Ying Chan, supported by two maids, stepped down from the carriage.
Catching sight of Howard, Ying Chan was momentarily stunned before a slight blush tinted her cheeks, and she lowered her head.
Back at the entrance of the Chan residence, her mind had been preoccupied with her father and the sorrow of parting, paying no heed to Howard.
Now, after calming down during the carriage ride and resigning herself to her fate, she was taken aback by Howard's appearance.
