Knock Knock!
The sound of knocking interrupted the casual chatter of the five.
"Were you satisfied with our hospitality?" Shi Ren pushed the door open, but didn't step in.
He stood with his hands tucked behind him, like a monk who had renounced worldly cares.
The five looked at each other, and after a brief eye contact, Qian Cangyi said, "Although I am reluctant to admit it, it is better to give thanks, as it is the courtesy of a guest. Now, we would like to return to the Ancient Sunset Castle, and we hope you can fulfill this small request of ours."
"I'm here precisely for this matter, please follow me." Shi Ren stepped back and turned sideways to the five.
Once again stepping onto the seemingly infinite steps, the five were no longer cautious, but wholeheartedly followed Shi Ren.
