"Mage Liang, I've already spoken to Mage Xianyu, who guards the formation at the Yuan Magnetic Palace. She cannot leave, so she sent me to invite you over."
"This way."
A trace of a smile touched Yun Shao's face as she extended a hand to invite Yuan Magnetism Rail Man forward.
Yuan Magnetism Rail Man did not move, however. Instead, he gave her a searching look.
The gesture immediately made Yun Shao's heart tremble slightly, and the smile on her face stiffened a little.
"Mage Liang, wh-what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Please lead the way, Mage Yun."
Although Yun Shao felt that something seemed amiss, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart and led Yuan Magnetism Rail Man straight toward the Yuan Magnetic Palace.
Meanwhile, she cautiously observed Yuan Magnetism Rail Man's reactions with her Divine Sense.
What put her slightly at ease was this.
Although she could not tell what he was thinking from his face, he did not seem to have noticed anything wrong and showed no intention of leaving.
Both possessed profound cultivation, and before long they reached the outskirts of the stone forest.
Soon, a graceful figure appeared out of thin air.
She looked at Yuan Magnetism Rail Man with a slight smile.
"You must be Mage Liang? Yun Shao told me about you. You traveled tens of thousands of li to the Zhongsheng Continent just to honor the request of a senior from our palace. Truly admirable. I have already informed the Saint Mage within. Please, come in!"
Yuan Magnetism Rail Man's gaze swept over the figure standing within the formation.
She appeared to be in her thirties, with a graceful figure, yet her features bore a resolute, heroic air
