The two from the Stargazing Pavilion also took off their Heavenforging Sect robes and changed back into their original black clothes.
With the Stargazing Pavilion coming to take them away, Young Master Nan was helpless. He could only watch Shi Chun and his companions being led off.
All he could do now was follow behind them as they headed up the mountain, rather like seeing them off.
Everyone from the Bright Mountain Sect felt deeply uneasy.
Shi Chun kept reassuring himself as well. It's fine. It should be fine. If they really thought we were involved with the Demonic Path, why would they wait until the competition ended to deal with us?
On the terrace, Gong Shaoci had just returned from seeing off the expert surnamed Wang when he suddenly took out his Mother-Child Talisman and checked a message. He looked up at the dispersing crowd in the Mirror Projection, then told his father and the others gravely, "The Stargazing Pavilion really has made its move. They've already sent people to intercept the Bright Mountain Sect's group and take them away."
Miao Yilan looked worriedly at her mother.
Lan Qiaoyan's expression was grave, but she remained silent and offered no opinion.
After a brief pause for thought, Gong Yuanzhi stood up. "Since Shi Chun is an old acquaintance of yours, I'll go keep an eye on things. If there's any news, I'll have Shaoci contact you."
With that, he cupped his hands politely and left with his son, asking the mother and daughter to stay where they were rather than trouble themselves seeing them off.
Once the outsiders were gone, Miao Yilan asked anxiously, "Will Shi Chun and the others make it back alive?"
"Heaven knows what they've gotten themselves into." Lan Qiaoyan sighed, looking powerless to help.
