Just at that time, Immortal Mang returned as well, looking quite pleased as if he'd seen something truly remarkable.

I advised him briefly and then tried to rush the visitors off to rest. Lu Mingwei and his party were still hoping to linger a while longer, but glancing at the evening sky, I knew if Ninth Lord caught sight of them, they wouldn't have an easy time.

Lu Mingwei had no other choice but to take everyone and settle down in the small courtyard next door, hoping to ease the tension with me.
