章節 173: The Cat is out of the Bag

The small courtyard stood in silence against the vast dark sky. The two figures leapt across the high wall like soaring birds, landing effortlessly in the yard. The man and woman were both impressive in their bearings and held their posture gracefully.

Seeing them, Xiaojin's ears seemed to prick up as if getting a fully recharged battery. She was happily running towards them like a gamboling puppy, but was frozen by her sister's death beam of a stare after only a few steps. Xiaojin shuddered.

'I'm finished. Old sis is angry!'

The realization depressed her instantly. She swiftly hid behind Long Qiu, shrinking from sight.

"Brother, why are you here?"

With a little wave of her hand, Long Qiu retrieved the Undead Insect of Needle; the man had already passed out from the pain on the ground. She was even a little surprised, for she only mentioned the address they were at earlier and did not expect to see them show up here.
