Shen Yu paid them no mind, heading straight toward his private quarters in the central pavilion. The moment they stepped inside his spacious, heavily adorned bedchamber, Li Qiu shut the heavy wooden doors behind them.
Shen Yu immediately reached into his sleeve, pulling out a high-grade spiritual talisman. With a flick of his wrist, he slapped it onto the center of the door.
