3043 The Lost Temples 3 (1/2)

After a moment's silence, Chi Yan said to Qin Qi, ”Continue checking, best if you can find the recipe or what happened to Yan Hai in the Sea of Death. You must get to the bottom of both these things. I will not allow anyone with ulterior motives to be by the Lord's side.”

”Yes!”

Chi Yan nodded slightly and after looking at the weather, announced to everyone, ”Since we are all here, let's set off now.”

After speaking, Chi Yan started walking towards his carriage without giving any further instruction or explanation. Just as he was about to enter, Gu Ying cried out, ”Lord Chi Yan, you still have not told us where we are going.”

Chi Yan stopped and turned to look at Gu Ying. He then proceeded to speak in a tone so cold it would have frozen lava.

”Highness Ying, His Lord's orders are for me to lead the mission, so all of you just need to follow my lead. When we get there, I will tell you what needs to be done next.”

Chi Yan's tone was not courteous and could be considered rude, even. What was more, Chi Yan did not care at all and this did not go unnoticed by Gu Ying.

Gu Ying replied with a slight smile, ”So Lord Chi Yan is not going to give us some time to prepare?”

Chi Yan replied, ”There is no need for that.” With that he got into his carriage, not giving Gu Ying any time to reply.

Su Ruiying looked at Jun Wu Xie and Gu Ying before getting into her carriage. She had been particularly quiet.

Only Jun Wu Xie, Gu Ying and their companions were left outside the city walls.
