Xie Lingyu hurried back with Cui Hao and Lin Luoyu in tow.
Li Yingling had been closer than Xie Lingyu to begin with, and the Teleportation Formation built there was for dedicated use, so she naturally returned faster than Xie Lingyu.
When Xie Lingyu entered the room,

"Neither of you was caught up in it either, were you?"
