"Where are you from?" asked Riana while she led Ace into the corridor filled with rooms. Although her tone was icy cold, a hint of curiosity was present in it. 

Ace didn't know why this woman seemed interested in asking such a question, but he replied respectfully, "Leaf Kingdom, I was born and raised in a small village in the mountains."

Riana nodded as she didn't find this any suspicious since most of the independent cultivators have poor backgrounds. 

She questioned further, "How many days were you in the world boundary?" 

"Eight days, maybe more. I don't remember since it's very hard to keep track of time in there," Ace replied without hesitation. 

Riana stopped before a door and looked at Ace deeply before she said, "You were very lucky to escape with your life. So, I give you a piece of advice to not resist the interrogation because you have no one backing you up.
