City Lord Liu Tianyou hovered above the Protagonist Sect, flanked by four others who were members of the sect alliance and representatives from major sects - Chen Siyuan from the Ming Sect, Zhao Yuqing from Spiritual Rain Sect, Li Mingzhi from the Seven Sword Sect, and Wu Xinyi from the Jade Palace.
Liu Tianyou sighed inwardly at the predatory looks on the elders' faces. He wondered how Yifan had felt back then. "I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," he muttered to himself.
Just as they were discussing, Xiu Mei appeared before them, startling the elders with her stealthy approach. Xiu Mei performed a courteous bow. "Elder Xiu Mei of the Protagonist Sect greets the City Lord. Our sect master is a little busy, so he asked me to welcome you in."
The City Lord returned the greeting as he appraised her. Are those fox ears real? Is she a demon? What's someone like her doing here?
