Dawn was breaking.
In the lingering mist, the group was ready to depart.
Pang Jian, who served as the guide for this expedition, had already packed up early and, seeing that everyone was prepared, headed toward Wulan Lake, a destination he had privately decided upon.
After he had set off.
Luo Hongyan gracefully stretched her body, alighting from the dense foliage of the ancient trees, and quickly approached him, asking with concern, "How was your rest last night?"
"Not bad."
Pang Jian did not mention that He Rong had visited, and simply greeted her, then kept moving forward.
Luo Hongyan approached as if nothing was amiss and joined him on the way, chattering idly all the while.
As for the others like He Rong and Su Yuntian at the back, Luo Hongyan didn't care whether they followed or not.
