The only useful piece of information Lu Yi mentioned was the mountain courtyard, so Yu An decided to go take a look.
She was worried that Ao Er and Ao Si would send news in the next few days, so it was best to resolve the matter in Winter City as soon as possible.
After telling Han Li, she slipped out alone that very night under the cover of darkness.
To conceal her movements, Yu An transformed into her beast form and flew. Her beast form hadn't changed; she was still a small, pale yellow bird, completely inconspicuous.
There were several villas in the mountains near Winter City, used by the city's wealthy as summer retreats. Following Lu Yi's directions, Yu An flew directly to the courtyard at the summit.
The property belonged to the Beast God Hall. Lu Yi would occasionally stay there in the summer, so it should have been empty now. But as soon as Yu An arrived, she saw guards at the gate.
