In the meantime…
The witches had also arrived.
Gu Chaoyan directed her gaze towards the door, curious to witness the appearance of a witch. Why would they protect someone like Pei Yueling?
Her surprise was palpable when she saw the face.
It was him!
It was truly him!
Initially thinking she had erred in her perception, she never expected to see him here. He was the sorcerer from the uncivilized world. Why was he present, and why was he affiliated with the Third World?
The sorcerer, too, was taken aback upon spotting Gu Chaoyan.
Neither revealed their astonishment on their faces.
Seating himself, the sorcerer maintained composure.
The witches awaited his decision.
With a distressed expression, Pei Yueling pleaded with the sorcerer, "Sorcerer, you can't hand me over to her. She'll end my life!"
"…"
"You're a witch from the Third World. Why obey her commands? If you seek someone, find them directly."
