As time ticked by, the room gradually fell silent. Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue, exhausted from a day of rushing around, quickly drifted into dreamland.
The Totem People softly pushed open the door and tiptoed inside. Their footsteps were so light that they barely made a sound. However, just as they were about to approach Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue, Shen Jingqi suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of alertness flickered in his gaze, and he swiftly drew his sword, shielding Lin Yue.
"Who are you? Why are you following us?" Shen Jingqi asked loudly, his voice echoing in the quiet room.
Realizing they had been discovered, the Totem People stopped pretending. The leader of the Totem People sneered and said, "Hand over the Jade Pendant and the Divine Artifact, and perhaps we'll spare your lives."
Lin Yue also woke up, looking at the Totem People in terror, instinctively clutching the corner of Shen Jingqi's clothes.
