Chen Mu gazed coldly at the black-clothed person who had collapsed in the distance.
Without hesitation, his figure flashed and he quickly reached the side of the crying Yu Yao. He bent down to check on her and found no wounds on her body, nor had the black-clothed person done anything to her. The crying was loud and powerful, which somewhat set his mind at ease.
In the distance,
Several trails of firelight approached rapidly.
Chen Mu glanced in the direction of the firelight, thought briefly, then took a step back. He gently set down the still-crying Yu Yao and quickly vanished into the darkness.
…
The next day.
Early morning.
A series of knocking sounds echoed.
Soon, a servant came to report in the inner courtyard that many people from the Yu Family patrol had arrived.
