Fang Yue understood at once.
'So, the Mansion Master found out about the conspiracy between the Shadow Association and the Blood Dragon Platform and sent the Imperial Forbidden Army to protect me.'
'But what's strange is that, if I remember correctly, the Mansion Master of Gongzhou Prefecture has been compromised by the Shadow Association.'
'So for these Forbidden Army soldiers to appear now... their motives are anything but pure!'
Thoughts raced through Fang Yue's mind as possibilities flashed by.
He forced himself to remain calm, his expression unchanged, not allowing anyone to detect his inner turmoil.
He knew full well that at a time as perilous as this, the slightest hint of panic or carelessness could plunge him into a situation from which there was no escape.
"Alright, lead the way."
Fang Yue said in a low voice, a hint of undeniable resolve in his tone.
