Chapter 502 - 504: Leaving a Backup Plan
The next morning, Shao He woke up just as dawn was breaking.
Pei Huaian and Shao He were strolling in the woods, but in truth, they were searching for a way out.
Although the Man in Black Robe had promised not to harm them, human intentions are hard to predict. There was no harm in being cautious beforehand, but rather it was simply giving themselves an additional option.
"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind.
Pei Huaian and Shao He turned around to see that the person behind them was the Third Elder from yesterday’s platform.
"We are just wandering around with nothing particular to do," Pei Huaian replied.
The Third Elder glanced at both of them, then shifted his gaze onto Shao He.
Pei Huaian subtly moved his feet, positioning himself in front of Shao He and said, "If there’s nothing else, we will take our leave first."
The Third Elder suddenly smiled slyly, "You, with the bearing of an emperor, will have a harem of three thousand beauties."
The remark made Shao He grip his hand tightly. Pei Huaian felt her emotional shift, took her hand in his, and Shao He looked back at him and gently shook her head.
