Qin Yao's family shrugged off the recent unpleasantness, basking in the free air provided by nature, happily making their way to the North Suburb Temple while appreciating the scenery of the suburb along the way.
Halfway there, Ah Wang leaned in to walk alongside Qin Yao and whispered, "Three people are following us."
Qin Yao let out an "oh," and said, "Let them be, as long as they don't disrupt our family's picnic plans for today."
Ah Wang hesitated for a moment, looked back, and saw Sikong Jian approaching them on horseback.
"The two Hidden Guards haven't shown their faces, only the State Preceptor followed us alone," Ah Wang added.
Qin Yao took a deep breath, suppressing her urge to kill, and motioning Ah Wang to inform Liu Fei, Yin Le, and the others just to ignore Sikong Jian and enjoy their time.
