161 Chapter 6: Exalted Eldest Madam, Cloudy Peaks Sect Part One (1/2)
Within the carriage, sat a delicate and pretty young woman, quietly carrying a docile bird.
”That sister is very scary,” Ru said into her mind as he snuggled deeper into her lap arms.
”I agree,” said through telepathy as she stared at her guard Yesha.
The young Guard with tan skin about the same age was the older brother of the servant that came to this sect. He was of her sister's people, so his loyalty only went to her. Was just staring blankly at her.
