"For such a significant matter as collecting Earth Spirit Stones, you should look for the steward. Why are you looking for us?"
One of the guards said, his eyes filled with suspicion, clearly already on alert.
Qin Yi and Mo Wuji felt a jolt in their hearts, realizing their preparations were insufficient, fearing their cover might be blown.
"Then at least tell us where the steward is. Are we supposed to search the entire City Lord's Mansion?
The City Lord only gave us a few hours. If we're delayed, we'll all be punished." Qin Yi said angrily, his tone anxious.
Another guard said, "I know where the steward is. Follow me."
Qin Yi and Mo Wuji exchanged a glance, seemingly managing to get through it for now.
"Hurry, hurry... The affair of the City Lord cannot be delayed." Qin Yi urged, the more urgency he showed, the less time the other party had to think.
"Follow me."
The guard led Qin Yi and Mo Wuji hastily inside.
