Upon reaching the gate, the gatekeeper hurriedly stepped up to greet the woman.
"Miss Chu Su, why are you here?" he asked, smiling.
"I'm here to see my brother," Chu Su responded coldly.
Gasps echoed through the crowd as they observed the cold beauty, and noted how the once-powerful gatekeeper seemed to be bending to her will.
"Oh... you mean..." the gatekeeper trailed off, recalling the earlier chariot. He glanced behind her and noticed Shen Ye standing calmly, seemingly unfazed.
*"Will I need to escape from here?"* Shen Ye thought to himself, his expression calm.
"Who is this man to you?" the gatekeeper asked.
"He's a disciple of my master," Chu Su said coolly. The gatekeeper sighed in relief.
"He killed your brother," the gatekeeper added, and the crowd froze as the atmosphere grew thick with tension. The very air around them became stifling, pressing down on their bodies.
