Hearing Chojuro's voice from behind, everyone's spirits lifted as they turned to look.
Ye Ningxue gazed at Chojuro emerging from the bushes and said indifferently, "So this is your Sakura Country's Substitution Technique?"
Chojuro's eyes glinted with disdain as he chuckled softly. "The Substitution Technique is the most basic form of ninjutsu. Don't tell me Your Excellency can't even see through that?"
Ye Ningxue's face remained expressionless. "You're awfully proud of a mere Substitution Technique. It seems you aren't very capable after all."
Luo Xiu surveyed the surroundings and suddenly asked, "There should be three of you. Where's the other one?"
At this, the female team member chuckled softly. "I imagine our captain has already killed that woman by now—your beautiful team captain from the Hua Country."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's gaze darkened.
The "beautiful team captain" mentioned by the Sakura Country operative was, of course, Lin Xiyue.
