A woman, prettier than Zhu Xiangxin, first stepped aside to let Wu Jinliang and Duan Xiangmei pass, then briskly walked toward Zhu Xiangxin.
Zhu Xiangxin was surprised to see this woman, her fellow sect sister, but they shared the same master, a woman named Man Yunjiao.
Zhu Xiangxin exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"
With a smile, Man Yunjiao looked around at the people looking their way and said, "Sister, it has been a long time, let's find a place to sit."
After a moment of hesitation and nodding slightly to her companions as a gesture, Zhu Xiangxin turned to follow her.
Unconcerned, Wu Jinliang then turned and motionlessly watched, then continued forward, pulling Duan Xiangmei with him.
The group subsequently returned to their own rooms.
Wu Jinliang, entering and closing the door, stopped it from shutting completely, sharply turned his gaze, and made a shushing gesture to Duan Xiangmei, tilting his head to listen intently.
