Most of the people who had gathered in the courtyard didn't doubt the words just spoken.
After all, they'd already heard the rumors circulating, but hearing them confirmed by a trusted figure from the Six Eyed Demon Faction made it feel much more authentic.
The atmosphere grew heavier as eyes shifted towards Ye Chuang, who, with a subtle but deliberate gesture, motioned toward the direction of Xi Muyao and Zhou Mei.

A shiver ran through her spine, but she maintained her composure.
On the other hand, Xi Muyao wore a slight frown, but his body remained relaxed, betraying no sign of anxiety. It was as if he too had noticed the intense scrutiny, but unlike Zhou Mei, he made no effort to acknowledge it.
