"Is Xu Yang in? Come out and see me."
Just as a strange atmosphere began to settle over the courtyard, a voice called out from outside.
Xu Yang's heart sank. The voice belonged to none other than Xiao Hua, the Steward of the Task Hall.
'I don't know if this is about something else, or if it's because of Li Rui'an.'
On the day Li Rui'an went missing, he too had left the Sect for Cyan Yang City. If the Sect investigated this carefully, they were bound to find out.
"I am here!"
He stepped out of the courtyard to find Xiao Hua standing outside, his face devoid of expression. Beside him stood Lu Ren, Gu Haoming, and another Outer Disciple whom he didn't recognize.
"May I ask why the Steward has come looking for me?" Xu Yang asked, cupping his fists.
