Hearing footsteps, Ye Jiuliang knew without looking who had arrived.
She played with a building block in her hands, holding it up to a toy car, and asked in a soft voice, "Has the meeting finished?"
As she spoke, a strong arm encircled her from behind, followed by a cellphone being handed to her.
Li Mochan's voice was low as he said, "It's a call from Elder Ye."
A call from the old man?
Ye Jiuliang's indifferent gaze paused slightly, a trace of puzzlement crossing her face.
If there wasn't an issue, no one would visit the Dark Hall; why would the old man suddenly call her?
She passed the building block to Li Mochan and took the cellphone to her ear, "Grandfather."
"Jiuliang, where are you now?" Elder Ye asked with gentle insistence.
Ye Jiuliang responded with a mild tone, "In Country M, is there a problem?"
"There's a bit of an issue at home, come back tomorrow," Elder Ye's hoarse voice held a firmness that left no room for argument.
