"Young Master, we still haven't found Aku," a subordinate spoke to Yan Li'an.
Yan Li'an glanced at Chai You, who was feeding a horse in the distance, his eyes flashing with contemplation.
"Shall we continue the search?" the subordinate asked.
Yan Li'an raised his hand, "No need to wait any longer. It's getting late; we must depart immediately, we can't delay our mission."
"Young Master, do you really intend to bring that girl along? Her identity..." the subordinate hesitated.
Yan Li'an struggled to suppress the restlessness in his heart, his mind fixated solely on the mission the Sect Hierarch had entrusted to him.
"Without her identity, do you think we could even enter Xiliang City?"
The subordinate immediately fell silent.
At that moment, Wanqing looked over, her gaze intertwining with Yan Li'an's in midair.
Wanqing paused, then flashed a radiant smile, so beautiful that it made Yan Li'an feel even more suffocated.
