Inside the dark tunnel,
Liu Yanyue walked calmly while listening to Shui Ruo's lively shouts echoing in the distance as she continued running ahead.
She couldn't help but sigh, feeling a bit sorry for the woman's current mental state.
"Hmm?"
Just then, she finally noticed something and turned to look behind her, only to see Jian Ruyi.
"Where are Li Feng and Yue Lan?"
Jian Ruyi answered naturally, her expression solemn.
"Li Feng told me there was something interesting along the wall, so he wanted to study it for a bit. Sister Yue stayed with him. He told me to go ahead and make sure the two of you are okay."
Liu Yanyue had been listening calmly, but at the last part she turned her attention fully to Jian Ruyi and smiled.
"I have to thank you for your thoughtfulness, but I don't need... protection."
Her tone slowly became prideful.
Jian Ruyi didn't mind.
She knew Liu Yanyue was a sword cultivator, and those who walked the path of the sword were prideful by nature.
