Yang Siyue was startled.
She spun around, looking to her rear right.
The mountaintop in her line of sight had been empty, but after Gu Zheng finished speaking, a figure slowly materialized.
It was none other than the Grand Director of the Demon Slayer Bureau, Xu Jianzhu.
"Rest assured, Gu King. I am here precisely to ensure the Seventh Princess's safety."
Xu Jianzhu said calmly, "If the Seventh Princess wishes to leave, please accompany me. I will courteously escort you out of the country."
...So he was here to protect Yang Siyue, not to assassinate her in secret.
It was a good thing Yang Siyue had been so cautious ever since entering the Jing Country, avoiding all eyes and ears.
To think she had been under Xu Jianzhu's watch all along.
Of course, this also revealed another side to the situation.
Someone from the Zhong Family still hadn't given up and wanted to cause trouble.
