She paused. "Chen Yi, are you coming along to find Grandpa..."
Before she could finish, Xie Tingyun and Shen Huatang, standing behind them, suddenly looked up at the sky and offered a low warning.
"Ms. Xiao, your sister has returned."
"Jinghong?" Wan'er was momentarily stunned. She and Chen Yi both looked up.
They saw Xiao Jinghong descending straight into the middle courtyard. She stood balanced on a Long Sword in mid-air, while one hand dangled a person whose head was completely covered by a cloth sack.
Having already spotted their silhouettes, Jinghong nodded in greeting the moment her boots touched the ground. "Wan'er, Chen Yi."
"Jinghong?" Wan'er asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
Chen Yi feigned his own astonishment. "Madam, how did you return so quickly?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the hooded captive, seemingly by accident. He didn't need to guess. It was undoubtedly Li Sanyuan of the Ji State Trading Company.
