Although aware that the woman in the portrait, possessing a perfect, unparalleled beauty, resides within this mansion, the group from Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, including its emperor 'Leif Dragonsmith,' dare not harbor any evil thoughts.
First, because the mysterious identity of the purple-clothed youth beside the woman makes Leif Dragonsmith and his companions hesitant to provoke him.
Second, because the woman's portrait has now spread throughout the City of Grand Unity, surely some powerful figures from the three major sects of the Desolate Territory are interested in her, and they cannot compete with those powerhouses.
For this reason, despite the mansion's bustling environment, the courtyard where Wyatt Barnes and Leilany reside remains harmonious and tranquil, undisturbed.
Of course, this is merely the calm before the storm.
