"STOP!"
the guards at the entrance shouted as they saw a man, woman, and a young hound approaching the sect's gates.
The guards consisted of two middle-aged men and two young girls, all of whom possessed an ethereal beauty. Their skin shone with an otherworldly radiance, making them resemble fairies compared to ordinary people.
The First Elder produced the Ye family's Mandalion, an emblem of their noble lineage, and presented it to the guards. "We are from the esteemed Ye Clan," she declared, her voice steady and authoritative. "We have come to receive Ye Mu and our distinguished guests from the Holy Fairy Sect."
The guards exchanged sceptical glances, scrutinizing the Mandalion to confirm its authenticity. Although it checked out, the small entourage raised suspicions. They hesitated to question the Ye Clan's intentions, but protocol demanded clarification.
