Nearly two days passed, and under Murong Ziyan's lead, the group successfully returned to Cloud Manor.
Jiang Jingyi had long since learned of their return through her hidden guards.
And so, she had been waiting in silence.
"Jiang Sheng, you finally showed yourself after all!"
"This Lin Heng truly is unexpected. Every time, he brings you some new trick, pleading with the Imperial Token?"
"He really thought of that!!"
Jiang Jingyi had never imagined that the "Imperial Token" she had given would one day become a stone she had lifted only to smash her own foot.
"My lady, the Cloud Boat has already docked outside. Lady Ziyan and the others will be here soon."
"Mm!"
Jiang Jingyi slowly rose and walked outside of her own accord.
She saw a grand, surging crowd enter. Murong Ziyan walked at the very front, came before her, and said respectfully, "My lady, I have not failed my mission! Everyone has been brought back!"
"Lady Yi, long time no see!" Lin Heng greeted her with a beaming smile, not realizing the severity of the problem in the slightest.
The usual kindness on Jiang Jingyi's face vanished abruptly. She waved her hand and said, "Seize them!"
Several hidden guards stepped forward and, without another word, moved against Lin Heng and the others, leaving Lin Heng completely dumbfounded.
Great. A Show-off had delivered himself to their doorstep, and the moment they said seize him, he was seized!
Not only Lin Heng, even Yun Yao, Leng Qingyun, and Jiang Caiyan were suppressed along with him.
A golden lock hung above their heads, as if a force of twisting compulsion had imprisoned the air around them, leaving them unable to move an inch no matter what.
"Junior brother, save me!!"
"Ah! Lin Bao, what's going on?"
