The night wind blew, causing the wine flags hanging on the lookout pole to flutter and make noise.

The smell of blood spread from inside the shop, and a restless barking of dogs could be heard from deep within the alley.

The disciples of Tianya Sect surrounded a table of wine, drawing their swords and facing off against more than ten black-clothed men.

The black-clothed men also held hidden weapons and poison, their nerves taut.

A woman in red wearing a butterfly mask showed no obvious expression on her face, but the whip clenched in her hand betrayed her emotions.

Blood Rain Pavilion had been following Su Tan for some time now, and she was determined to make her move this time.

Who would have thought that the Princess(Chu Shao) would find her way here?

The woman in red looked at Chu Shao, who was walking towards her, through the holes in her butterfly mask and her mind went blank for a moment.

Had Blood Rain Pavilion been infiltrated by the power of the Yan Mansion? But that couldn't be possible.

Su Tan's whereabouts were classified, and even those with slightly lower clearance wouldn't know about it.

As the tension escalated, Chu Shao walked calmly around the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground and sat down, picking up the wine jug and pouring herself a cup of wine.

The sound of the wine pouring into the cup was very clear, like raindrops falling on the water's surface.

Chu Shao's face was adorned with a faint smile as she lifted the cup of wine and took a sip.

The black-clothed men held their sharp blades and watched her drink without making a sound, their hearts pounding like drums, not daring to relax for a moment.

After she finished drinking, Chu Shao put down the cup and smiled at the woman in red, saying, "Vice Master, you probably didn't bring enough manpower today."

The woman in red curved her lips and tossed her hair, revealing a variety of charms in her every move. "Princess, why are you so sure that I don't have reinforcements behind me?"

"I dare not make unfounded conclusions," said Chu Shao, her fingertips lingering on the edge of the cup, her tone gentle. "I just think that if the Vice Master had reinforcements behind her, your subordinates wouldn't be so nervous at this moment."

Upon hearing this, the black-clothed men trembled and their weapons shook in their hands.

Their already anxious hearts beat even faster.

The woman in red frowned slightly and looked at the ten or so subordinates standing beside her. She smiled and cursed, "Useless."

The words were not particularly harsh, but the black-clothed men were scared white, almost wanting to drop their weapons and kneel down to beg for mercy.

The woman in red didn't care about what her subordinates thought. She withdrew her gaze and knew that it would be difficult for her to explain to the Pavilion Master about what had happened today.

She narrowed her eyes and swept them over the Tianya Sect disciples standing beside Chu Shao.

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, the woman in red knew that she couldn't win.

After all, for something she was determined to get, she would never waste any extra manpower.

The only backup plan was to wait for the signal from Shen Lan, who was stationed far away.
