"You..."
He Liu stared at the two figures who had suddenly appeared before him, his face filled with horror. He clearly hadn't expected this person to show up.
"What about me?"
Yui drew closer and pressed him for an answer.
As she came closer and closer, He Liu backed away in panic, only stopping when he bumped into a stool.
"Hmph..." Yui snorted, then walked back toward 'Xiao You.'
Mifune watched everything unfold with a frown. Only after seeing the newcomers did he realize he had misunderstood something. He glanced at He Liu beside him and shook his head slightly.
"My apologies, Miss Yui. We misunderstood..."
Mifune stepped forward to apologize.
Yui shook her head. "Let's discuss what matters first! I don't want to stand here arguing."
With that, Yui took Nai Hyuga by the wrist and followed 'Xiao You,' who was walking ahead.
Mifune stood rooted to the spot for a moment. Then, as if realizing something, he hurried after them.
"He Liu..."
As he left the inn, he glanced at He Liu, who was still standing there in a daze, and motioned for him to follow.
Coming to his senses, He Liu watched the four figures leave, but chose not to follow them immediately.
His expression gradually darkened.
He stood there for a long time before finally setting off after them.
"Let's talk here!"
Mifune chose a dark, unlit alley and led the three behind him inside.
"Tell me, what happened with Master Iinaka?" 'Xiao You' asked.
"Miss Xiao You, this..."
Mifune paused, looking hesitantly at Yui and Nai Hyuga standing on either side.
"Heh..."
'Xiao You' waved a hand. "Don't worry. They're both very dear friends of mine..."
At her answer, Mifune nodded. "Well, Master Iinaka..."
As he spoke, He Liu caught up and stopped behind him.
