章 201: Helpful Magpies

In the small courtyard of the Wu family in Silver Sword City, Yingxu and Jieyan bowed deeply after opening the gate for their late-night visitor. After spending so much time as attendants to the powerful Elder Phantom they no longer trembled at the sight of the powerful guest but neither of them dared to show the slightest discourtesy to her. 

"Disciple Jieyan pays respects to Elder Hyacinth."

"Disciple Yingxu pays respects to Elder Hyacinth," the two women said in unison as they bowed. 

"We're not in the sect," the dark-haired woman said, waving a hand tipped with green lacquered and sharply pointed nails in a gesture that they could stand. "How has my sworn sister been since you've taken over her care?" Hyacinth asked in a mild tone as she inspected the two magpies she'd first encountered when they were plotting to rob Wu Ling.
