YUL HAS READ MANY books about the neighbouring countries and their culture since he was young so he was not surprised when he heard the guest speaking a language he barely understood but seeing how Yeongran was greeting and talking with them he realized that they might be from Gusu Lan Sect.

Soon the rest of the boys who were on the other boats came forward and repeated the same action as they greeted Yeongran. As confused as he was, Yul could still make out that the young boys who were all dressed in a similar white outfit had high respect for Yeongran. They seemed to be disciples like Yul's students in Jeongjingak.

"Yul-ah... He is Lan Wangji, the excellency of Gusu Lan, also known as Hanguang-Jun and this is his partner, Wei Wuxian. They are from Gusu Lan Sect and these young boys are the disciples under Cloud Recesses of Gusu who are here for night - hunt"

Yeongran then turned towards the others with a smile "He is Seo Yul, the head of Jeongjingak. He is a mage and he is my husband"

All the disciples have heard a lot about Yeongran's husband but it was never the good ones as they mainly knew about the heartbreak so they had a little hostility towards Yul. Yeongran is one of their favourite teacher and also the epitome of first-love to some of the disciples. But as a disciples bounded by the clan rules which sums up above 3000, they had to conceal their emotions. They immediately greeted in unison towards Yul who returned back the greeting.

"Let's head back to Seo's Manor. I have sent letters to the helpers to clean up the room"

"Lady Shin, sorry for troubling you at such an hour"

With Seo Yul and Yeongran leading the bunch of cultivators, they managed to quietly reach the manor where the helpers helped the cultivators go to their assigned room leaving Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji alone with the couple.

Wei Wuxian saw that all the disciples had returned to their assigned room so he finally decided to speak up "Lady Shin, there has been several walking corpse around Yiling and we thought it would be the usual corpse but it lead us here as it was involved with a relics that was released from Jinyowon"

Yeongran remembered that half of the relics had been caught by Jang Uk and Jin Buyeon, they even reached Gusu to catch those relics back, but how can there be a relics that is causing a mess?

Yul was patient enough to not butt in during the middle of the conversation and just waited for his wife to explain to him later. Looking at his wife talking fluently in a foreign language made her look so cool and more admirable. The temperament of the guy in white ─── Lan Wangji was somehow same with his wife. Except that his wife has a little warm and approachable side rather than being too cold or aloof looking.

He knew that these people won't be sleeping any soon so he decided to go and prepare some tea for the three of them

"You guys head towards the pavilion, I'll brew some tea for the guest and yours"

"Alright"

Yul gave a small nod to the two guest and retreated from them while the rest walked up the pavilion and Yeongran lighted up the candles as they sat down on the chairs.

Lan Wangji placed his sword at the corner of the table and finally spoke up "We're suspicious that there are some shared remains of YIN - iron but we're not very sure since it may be a mixed reaction caused by the relics from Jinyowon"

"So, you want to inspect Daeho for few days as if to see if the remains is there or just some relics which has similar reaction?"

The couples nodded and Yeongran was silent for a few seconds while Wei Wuxian explained the main reason on how it led them here and had to come in the middle of the night according to Zewu-Jun as in not to scare any of the common people out here.

Yeongran was thankful to Zewu-Jun for his thoughtfulness because, if the people of Daeho become aware of this situation, it might create unnecessary chaos.

As Yeongran was in deep thought, there was a soft knock on the door and it opened revealing Seo Yul with a tray of teapot and cup. Wei Wuxian immediately stood up and went to Seo Yul and helped him with the tray as they interact with smiles and nods which rather looked funny and cute to Yeongran.

Seo Yul placed the cup of tea in front of Yeongran and sat beside her.

"Yul-ah, do you think the King would allow us to go for a night hunt with them?"

Yeongran started explaining whatever was going on to Yul who was focused on her and failed to notice the two guys sitting in front of them with mixed reactions as they exchanged glances from time to time.

Seo Yul was not sure about the operation but the King would likely involve Jang Uk and Buyeon too but after all, they need the King's permission to carry out the mission.

"I'll go and visit the King tomorrow and we will see how it goes. I am sure he will ask us to involve Jang Uk and Jin Buyeon, even Jin Choyeon since she is the one who is looking after all the relics"

Yeongran translated what her husband just said towards the two foreign guys who had no other comments and agreed to Yul because they're on a foreign land and they cannot act hastily because it might be dangerous for everyone. They would claim that their arrival here was for a tour and visit of an old friend while they carried out their mission in secret.

"That's fine. We agree with Young Master Seo but Xiao-jie, when did you become so close with him? I thought he was an ass?"

"Wei Ying!"

Yeongran immediately thanked the heavens that Seo Yul couldn't speak or understand Mandarin right now, especially with Wei Wuxian here. Sometimes she wonders how this man still has such a sharp tongue with no filter and isn't afraid to speak up his mind.
