"No, no need for all that trouble." Niu Youdao raised a hand to stop him. "I'll change when I get back to Thatched Cottage Estate. Changing the outer robe is useless; even the underclothes are all red. It feels rather unsettling to wear them. If I change here, I'll have to change again when I get back. Who knows what the Sacred Realm was up to? The moment we entered, they stripped us bare and wouldn't let us keep a single item we brought in. They forcibly changed everything we wore, inside and out, into this damned outfit."

Everyone exchanged looks. Gong Lince asked suspiciously, "You came back alone? Not one of the others returned?"

Inside the Sacred Realm, Luo Fangfei, the master of Fangfei Pavilion, suddenly came looking for me. I didn't want to leave, but she forcibly drove me out..."
