Don't let your disciple bathe you
Xi Zirui doesn't know how long he spends wrapped up in Han Yu's embrace, only that he never wants it to end.
He's disappointed when the carriage finally comes to a stop.
The effects of the aphrodisiac aren't completely gone, but he feels more settled with Han Yu by his side, and now they're about to enter Blood Crane territory and he doesn't know how he's going to keep it together.
He's even less sure about what Li Siqi plans to do to elude the other sect members.
Her tricks might have worked on the retainers, but he doubts they'll be as effective on actual disciples who have met Bai Mi.
Xi Zirui and Han Yu follow after Li Siqi, the three unconscious bodies hovering behind them.
The carriages came to a stop inside a cave. Its mouth opening into a wide rocky gallery with a stairway carved into the sheer rock leading them in winding downwards path.
