Liu Yuzhang stared at the spot where Ji Feihua had disappeared, his expression shifting uncertainly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the worry filling Hu Xiaotian's eyes and sighed. "We shouldn't have let him venture into danger alone!"
"It's too late for regrets now," Hu Xiaotian said.

Only then did Xiangyin remember Yuanmu. He slapped the back of his head
