"In that case, let's go inside and talk."
Xu Tianzhen spoke, then entered the secret chamber with Ning Tian. When Huo Yutong tried to follow, she reached out and stopped her.
"Sorry, little junior, but what we're discussing next concerns your senior's personal privacy. I hope you understand. Of course, if you use Spiritual Detection to peek, there's nothing I can do about it."
