"You mustn't misunderstand, it was... it was the clan leader who asked me to call you over," the young maid said, looking terrified of Yang Xiao and the others, hiding behind a tree, not daring to come closer.
"If it was the clan leader who sent you to call us, why didn't you call out, instead of hiding behind a tree and spying on us?" Yang Xiao asked.
It was only then that he saw clearly, the young maid was filthy from head to toe, covered in dust and dirt, as if she had rolled on the ground several times.
At the same time, Yang Xiao noticed something very strange, the young maid's attention wasn't on them at all, but on the courtyard behind them, where she looked terrified.
Yang Xiao immediately turned to look at the courtyard, but it was quiet inside, the bedroom door was closed, everything was calm.
