Once all seven had arrived, Yan Yu's expression turned solemn. He even opened the door to check whether anyone was eavesdropping.
Mu Xiaoyue looked puzzled. "Old Yan, what is it? Is it that serious?"
After confirming no one else was there, Yan Yu turned back, let out a long breath, and said to the others, "Actually, the day after Yan Xiwen returned, the alliance leader came to see me personally."

"Yu, what is it? Is it important?"
