It seemed that, just as in the original story, Yao Lao had been captured by the Soul Hall.
Liu Bai gently shook his head.
Yao Lao's capture was naturally a devastating blow to Xiao Yan, but to Liu Bai himself, it was not such a major matter.
Although he had met Yao Lao a few times, their friendship was still shallow—not enough for him to make a huge fuss over it.
However, Yao Lao's capture meant something else: the Tou She Ancient God Jade should still be in Xiao Yan's hands.
