"Very well, I will take you inside now," the guard nodded repeatedly, not daring to look back as he headed straight for the inner mansion. However, he did not dare to walk too fast, fearing that the person behind him might become suspicious and stab him with a sword.
As a result, it was obvious that he could not avoid the watchful eyes of the other hidden sentinels. Yet, seeing Mu Hanyan with a longsword pressed against the guard's back as they walked towards the inner mansion, the hidden sentinels showed no reaction, nor did anyone sound an alarm.
It seemed the guard was not lying; Yan Yuchu must have given orders in advance. Otherwise, the sight before them would have surely sounded the alarm bells.
Mu Hanyan grew even more puzzled, but he knew he could not get any information from the guard, so he suppressed his curiosity and continued to the inner mansion.
