Yu Qi nodded. She had already noticed their presence nearby earlier. When she had checked with her own hidden bodyguards, they mentioned that they had also detected those other presences. Her leader had even gone to speak with them, and through that brief interaction, they confirmed the identity of those men. They were indeed the elite bodyguards of Grandpa Mu.
"In that case, I will take my leave first." Yu Qi said, giving a slight nod.
As Yu Qi stepped out of the room, she was immediately surrounded by a group of children.
"Sister Yu Qi, let's play together!" One of the children chirped excitedly.
Yu Qi squatted down, lowering herself to meet the children's eyes at their level. She gently placed her hand on the head of the child who had spoken, her expression softening.
"I am sorry, but I cannot play with you all right now. I have to leave because I have some work to do. Once I finish my work, I will come back and play with all of you, okay?" Yu Qi coaxed them patiently.
