Eventually Han Yu slowed slightly until he was walking beside Meng Jueyan more privately.
"Anything unusual?" he asked her quietly.
Meng Jueyan understood immediately what he meant.
She closed her mismatched eyes briefly.
"The omens were stable," she replied after a moment. "No immediate danger appeared around you."
Han Yu nodded faintly and also told her he had joined Lady Rot Rose's faction.
He also knew no direct danger had occurred thanks to the hidden Jiangshi shadows surrounding her and observing the area constantly.
Still…
Her eye could perceive things his Jiangshi never could.
Ominous possibilities.
Fate fluctuations.
Subtle dangers hidden beneath events.
Her instincts had become incredibly valuable over the years.
"Though…" Meng Jueyan added quietly.
Han Yu glanced toward her.
"The threads around Lady Rot Rose's mansion are difficult to read. Very difficult. I can tell they are linked to her though."
Han Yu was unsurprised by that.
