Zhang Ji and Shangguan Yun's big plan soon revealed itself.
It was not suitable for women to come along during the trip to Norland. Gu Shenwei chose Maid Lotus, Chu Nanping, Long Fanyun, and Shangguan Fei, along with 50 guards. Maid Lotus brought one-and-a-half New Moon Hall disciples.
The one disciple was Han Fen. Although she was talkative, she spared no effort delivering the Managing Master's orders. Most of the time, she hid like Maid Lotus and showed up only when it was necessary.
The half-disciple was Han Xuan. Actually, nobody had asked her to come along. However, she saw no danger in letting Miss Ming Zhen stay alone in the royal palace, so she sneaked out for this adventure. Thus, without any prior consent or permission, she quietly joined the Dragon King's procession on her horse. Many people had come to see them off, therefore no one paid much attention to her. The people thought she was merely sticking around because of her best friend, Han Fen.
