Just as they were talking, the three of them arrived in front of the tallest house in the village. Duanmu Huai pushed open the door and walked inside.
But at that very moment, it happened swiftly: a cold light flashed, and a sharp sword shot out, stabbing straight toward Duanmu Huai. Faced with this sudden attack, Duanmu Huai seemed unconcerned, merely standing there. The longsword flickered uncertainly, finally stopping right at his neck.
Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a woman in military attire holding the longsword, cautiously staring at him. Behind her were several others dispersed on either side. Upon seeing Duanmu Huai, the woman's face showed a shocked expression, and she hastily retreated. It was only when she saw Wang Yuyan and Little Dragon Girl coming out from behind Duanmu Huai that she relaxed and began to inquire.
"Who are you, and why have you come here?"
"Before naming yourself, shouldn't you first introduce yourself?"
