They had heard whispers of what Xing Guifei had been up to lately. In truth, when they had first proposed coming on this trip, some in their families had disagreed. After all, they were considered the most promising juniors of their respective houses, and no one wanted to see them come to harm. Their parents, in particular, had been the most reluctant to let them go to Annan Manor. Even though the manor was filled with treasures, if it meant losing their lives, they would rather forgo the riches. When they had first decided to go, they had been filled with trepidation. Eventually, after days of hesitation, they had overcome their fears and come regardless.
