"Something isn't right." Lü Meng frowned slightly, lowering his voice as he spoke softly to Lü Shaoxuan. "The Holy Dynasty's Vice Minister of Rites still hasn't returned, and the guards around us seem to be multiplying by the minute."
Lü Shaoxuan's expression remained completely unchanged, save for the corners of his mouth curving upward into a faint, gentle smile. He replied softly, "Is that even a question? Just a moment ago, that Guanzhou commander looked ready to tear us apart with his bare hands, yet now he's suddenly acting as if nothing is the matter. Isn't it obvious? They are treating us like dead men."
A flash of ferocity crossed Lü Meng's eyes. He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "In that case, should we make the first move? We can fight our way right back out. No matter what, we will never let you fall here!"
