"I want to see the Yinsi Guidi..."
After taking leave of Di Yao, Cui Jue led the thug toward his Yinlv Division. The Soul-Hooking Envoy on his right glanced in the direction of the Yinsi Guidi Mansion, then back at Cui Jue, but ultimately swallowed his question.
Suddenly, Cui Jue stopped. The Soul-Hooking Envoy accidentally bumped into him and immediately knelt to apologize. It was a trivial matter; Cui Jue didn't want to pursue it, so he let the envoy rise.
Cui Jue's face was now deathly pale. His right hand tightly clutched the fabric over his chest. His lips cracked visibly, and bright red blood beads oozed from the pale cracks—a shocking sight against the pallor.
"My lord, your complexion..." the envoy whispered but was silenced by a glare from Cui Jue.
