Inside the villa, Yang Xiao found Tong Han, who was tied up. She was sitting on a long sofa in the living room on the first floor, with no apparent injuries on her body. Across from her sat a man.
The man appeared only slightly older than Yang Xiao, with sharp eyebrows and a rugged face, short grayish-white hair, dressed in a black uniform from the Patrol Defense Office, which made his exposed skin look even paler. A wooden-handled long spear lay across his lap, wrapped in blue cloth.
This person was sitting with his eyes closed, cultivating his energy with long breaths. In the spacious living room, only he and Tong Han were present, with no other guards around.
Yang Xiao could not be mistaken—this had to be Qu Muzhi, known as the top captain of Rongcheng whom Yang Xiao had long heard of and was finally meeting in person today.
