"What do you think is happening inside?"
Xin Yan turned her face towards Yu Ming, who was looking towards the closed portal with an anxious look on her face. She was using thought transmission to be discreet about her conversation.
"This is the tenth ti you have asked that question and my answer still remains the sa: I don't know. Why are you so worried? He is my son, and I am not even that worried about him." She chuckled calmly, but Yu Ming sohow felt shivers down her spine.
While she was talking with the girl, Xin Yan was also thinking of ways to deal with her son's killers.
"Why are you not worried? You should be even more worried because you are his mother!" She could not figure out how she could be so calm when her son's condition was unknown to her.
"You are just thinking too much, No… Long Tian can handle small trials like that. What you need to be thinking right now is how long it would take for them to co out of that place. I am thinking an hour.."
"Sigh~, I think he will be out by noon." Yu Ming sighed before joining the woman in her guessing ga.
"There are still two hours till noon. Are you looking down on my son?" Xin Yan retorted in mock anger, making the girl a little scared. But realizing she was being teased, Yu Ming could not help but feel her eyes twitching.
Xin Yan turned her attention towards the other people sitting nearby them. They were talking among themselves, but she noticed how they would try to subtly include them in the conversation to extract information from the two of them.
They both rejected any advances for the conversation, but the City Lord's wife could not do the sa. Because of her position, she had to interact with the two sect leaders, as the third one was keen on staying quiet.
"So what should I call you, young lady?" The sect master from the Wild Serpent Sect took the initiative to ask Xin Yan about herself.
He was worried about offending the woman from the Eternal Jade Guild, since Xin Yan seed on good terms with the woman. She seed like a good way for him to approach them. After all,
"Lady Xin." A cold and distant voice, unlike her usual self, sounded from behind the mask, making everyone who heard it flinch.
"Ahem! Lady Xin, I wonder if you have joined any sect?" The man coughed before directly getting to the point.
'What a shaless old man.' Huang iying, the sect master of the Frozen Heart Sect, could not help but narrow her eyes, seeing Jiang Feng taking advantage to rope the woman into his sect.
"Lady Yu can also visit along as well. I will be more than happy to have you two as my guests." Seeing that Xin Yan did not answer imdiately, the old man thought she was considering the offer. Taking the chance, he even asked Yu Ming to go to his sect for a tour.
This was a good enough excuse for him to build a good relationship with the main branch of the guild.
"My Soaring Heaven Sect is also more than happy to welco you."
"The sa goes for my sect." The other two sect leaders also grasped his plan and imdiately asked for the sa thing.
They all looked at Yu Ming as if her answer mattered to them more than Xin Yan, whom they initially asked the question.
Seeing this, Yu Ming was instantly displeased and was about to outright reject the proposal, but soone else rejected it for her.
"I am afraid that won't be possible."
A beautiful voice sounded in the area as everyone, including Xin Yan, turned to look in the direction of its origin. Everyone except Xin Yan and Yu Ming was scared to their cores by what they saw.
The void behind the seats where every influential figure was seated, the air trembled, and a hole appeared in the place out of nowhere.
They all saw a beautiful woman donned in a maid outfit walking out of the tear. She calmly looked at the three sect leaders before adding,
"It is ti for Young Lady to go ho, so she will not be visiting any sects."
The sect leaders were too scared to even care about what she had just said.
'A woman powerful enough to open a hole in the air was just a re maid.' That was the only thought in everyone's mind.
'Do you want to deal with her?' Seeing the maid, Xin Yan turned to Yu Ming and asked carefully; she thought the girl was being forced to go back.
Hearing the confidence in her voice, Yu Ming was shocked as what the maid just did was a clear sign she was sothing a person above the golden core realm was capable of doing. Despite seeing all of that, Xin Yan sounded confident about dealing with the girl.
'No need, I will talk to her.' Despite feeling shocked and curious about Xin Yan's origin, Yu Ming cald herself and replied before turning to look towards her most trusted maid.
What she did not know was that Xin Yan was simply boasting; she was well aware that the maid did not have any ill intentions, and she had even sensed her arrival from the ti she entered her sensory range, which spanned up to many kiloters.
"Ai, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the familiar annoyed voice of her young lady, the maid nad Ai turned towards her and bowed respectfully before replying. There was a tinge of surprise deeply concealed in her eyes seeing the realm Yu Ming was currently in.
Ai had not expected her to make a breakthrough this fast; after all, she had just made a breakthrough before she sneaked away!
"The Mistress asked to bring you back ho."
