"Y-yes... I'm from Talisman Valley!"
Chen Nan had thought she was certain to die today, so she had kept her expression calm, hoping to meet her end with some dignity. But now that a chance had appeared, she naturally wanted to live if she could, and hurriedly answered.
Hun Changqing's gaze shifted between Chen Nan and the Command Token in his hand, a trace of hesitation flickering in his eyes.
