Xu Yi instructed Hongjing to guide them and steer the skiff towards the Secret realm. On the vessel, Bai Shan turned around and glanced disapprovingly, saying, “Sister Xu, there are people tailing us. Shall I go down and teach them a lesson?”

“Ignore them. We will soon leave them behind,” Xu Yi nonchalantly replied. She had noticed a group of suspicious individuals following them even before they left the city, but she was preoccupied with the secret realm and had no interest in dealing with them.

“Let them be,” Bai Shan muttered under her breath.

Xu Yi accelerated to the maximum speed, and before long, the pursuers realized they had lost track of them.
