Yan Yu wriggled her hips and snuggled up to Li Yuan’s side, whispering, “Did something happen?”
Li Yuan answered in a low voice, “The Sect Leader just left the inner district with our top experts.”
Xue Ning opened her eyes. “Something’s wrong?”
Yan Yu chuckled. “So Big Sis, you’re still awake too?”
“Yes, I never fell asleep. I’ve felt all night that something’s off.” Xue Ning shifted her body and clasped Li Yuan’s hand. “It’s so unusual for an elder to pay a visit in the middle of the night.”
Li Yuan said, “You two go back to sleep. I’m going out for a look. As long as the inner district walls aren’t breached, we’ll be safe here.”
He moved to get up, only to find both women tightly wrapped around him.
