Compared to Ye Yu and the other, Xie Liuying's group was clearly in a far more bedraggled state.
Of the original twenty-odd people, only the five before them remained.
Ye Yu frowned slightly at the sight. He could not sense the jade bottle on any of them, and immediately asked with a frown, "Where is the jade bottle?"
Xie Liuying, who had been about to speak, froze. She had not expected Ye Yu's first question to be about the jade bottle rather than why they had ended up like this.
