Just as Bai Fan had said, her grandmother—Supreme Elder Song—arrived outside the city gates, stepping out of a carriage alongside Xiao Fang's clone.
"Lead the way," she said.
Xiao Fang wasn't particularly concerned about being found. He still wasn't sure of the old woman's intentions, but if she had come to reclaim the Phoenix Jade Hairpin he'd won from her sword club, there was little he could do to stop her. Sooner or later, she would get it back.
From a distance, Bai Fan and Zhao Pan watched as Supreme Elder Song entered the city with Xiao Fang's clone. A faint smirk played on Bai Fan's lips.
"Oh, they really came," Zhao Pan said, mildly surprised.
However, their confidence wavered when they saw the pair heading straight for the auction hall. The moment they stepped inside, the two girls quickly followed—but lost sight of them just as fast. Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Fang had allowed Supreme Elder Song in through a private entrance.
