"This isn't the place to talk!"
The demoness said, "Follow me!"
With that, she left using Instantaneous Teleportation without caring whether He Pingsheng agreed.
Although she had teleported away, spatial fluctuations remained.
Through those spatial fluctuations, it was naturally easy to tell where she had gone.
He Pingsheng was naturally unafraid and immediately teleported after her.
Luo Bingyao did the same.
After teleporting twice, the three appeared in a somewhat secluded part of the city, where there was a huge residence.
"Quite bold. Aren't you afraid of me?" Xin Baobao turned and stared at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng shook his head. "It's not a question of whether I'm afraid. If you wanted to deal with me, even if I hadn't followed you today, I probably couldn't have escaped your grasp, could I?"
Luo Bingyao said nothing, merely giving a soft snort.
Xin Baobao's earlier saber strike had beaten her into submission.
"Follow me!"
Xin Baobao entered the huge residence.
An old servant approached and respectfully cupped his hands. "Miss..."
"Mm!" Xin Baobao nodded and said, "These are my friends!"
"Take them to the guest room!"

Another half an incense stick's worth of time passed before Xin Baobao arrived as well.
She had changed her clothes. This time, she wore not a purple Daoist robe but a deep-red one, likewise embroidered with grayish-white cloud patterns.
Only her purple saber remained unchanged.

He Pingsheng and Luo Bingyao sat together on one side, while the demoness sat alone on the other.
"Three thousand years ago!" Xin Baobao looked at He Pingsheng and said, "When the Northern Crown Secret Realm opened, I knew someone had taken the Great Dao Order within it. Meeting you here today
