On the other side, the banquet continued.
Banlai was entangling Ayang, making it impossible for her to chase the General.
Ayang, having drunk a few cups of wine, kept her blurred eyes on the stone archway.
She was initially worried, but then thought that the aftermath had been dealt with, and even if the General noticed something was wrong, it had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, with the General's temperament, would he bother to listen to any explanation? Perhaps, in a fit of rage, he was already 'punishing' that damned person from the Central Plains!
It's just... she got away with it!
Ayang angrily downed another cup of strong liquor, without anyone forcing her.
After she finished drinking, she instinctively glanced at the stone archway again, and the cup in her hand clattered to the ground, shattering to pieces.
This sound startled the others, who then followed Ayang's line of sight to look over.
