Yueyao didn't know how long she had been on the road; she only knew that her internal organs were almost jostling out of place.
The carriage stopped in the outskirts, and the night was clear. Even though it was midnight, Yueyao managed to make out the faces of the two other men. She glanced at them briefly, then lowered her head. That glance was enough.
Soon, two women, one tall and the other short, approached from a distance. Both women were dressed in gray and had very ordinary facial features.
The leader of the men, upon seeing the two women, said, "We have brought the person over; the rest of the payment should be made to us now."
The shorter of the two women stepped forward and touched Yueyao's face several times, as if to make sure she hadn't disguised her appearance. After feeling her face, she nodded at the taller woman, "No mistake."
The tall woman nodded and said, "You take her first."
