The next morning, the sky of the capital was still tinted with the first colors of dawn when Kyrian left his room. The air was cold and silent.
When he went down to the courtyard of the Crimson Lotus Residence, everyone was already there.
Mei Li leaned casually against a stone column while observing the sky. Bai Zhu was speaking in a low voice with Yan Ling. Li Fen looked somewhat sleepy, while Kai spun a small dagger between his fingers, clearly bored.
As soon as Kyrian appeared, everyone looked at him.
"Shall we go?" Kai asked with a smile.
Kyrian simply nodded. Without wasting time, the group left the residence.
The streets of the capital were still quiet at that hour of the morning. Some merchants were beginning to open their shops, and a few cultivators walked along the avenues.
The group went directly to the great stables of the capital. There, several spiritual beasts of travelers and cultivators were kept.
