Along the way, the Third Elder had also discovered other individuals. Judging by the situation, they were likely from the You Family. Back when Song Nianchu had first approached him, the First Elder had contacted his informants within the You Family, confirming that they were indeed summoning reinforcements to ambush Song Nianchu and her group.
"It was just as you predicted," the First Elder remarked, clearly impressed by Song Nianchu’s sharp mind. It was one thing to be gifted, but she was remarkably quick-witted as well. After returning, he had been so preoccupied with worry over You Caihua's injuries that he hadn't even considered that the You Family might come looking for trouble. Yet, not only had Song Nianchu anticipated it, but she had also already devised a plan to mitigate the risks and had made her decisions with impressive resolve. No one else could have acted so decisively, especially with the You Family keeping watch outside. She had analyzed the situation beyond the walls with absolute clarity, unaware that Song Nianchu had even more countermeasures in reserve.
Song Nianchu was not the type to go out of her way to provoke others, but she certainly wasn't going to let the You Family’s interference slide. Every move they made to target her had been accounted for in her calculations.
