Chapter 99: Walking Among the Common Folk

Just as he stepped out the door, Jiang Yan ran into Lady Guizhong, who had returned together with Cloud Retainer.

"Jiang Yan, where are you off to?"

Lady Guizhong watched Jiang Yan about to head out and asked, puzzled.

"Ah... I have some things to do, going out for a bit."

These past few days, the adepti and Lady Guizhong had been ruthlessly squeezing both Jiang Yanmeng and Morax dry, so now whenever Jiang Yan saw these female adepti, his scalp would start to prickle.

"Oh?"

Cloud Retainer narrowed her eyes.

"You're not thinking of... sneaking out to slack off, are you?"

Jiang Yan suddenly stepped back a few paces, the smile on his face stiffening as well.

"Ahaha... well, that, I really do have things to do!"

"I'm heading off now, ha!"

Once Jiang Yan finished speaking, he vanished in a flash.

"This kid... why's he being so secretive today?"

Lady Guizhong gazed in the direction Jiang Yan had left, puzzled.

"Hmph! Probably just made up an excuse to slip away."

Cloud Retainer gave a light snort.

Both Cloud Retainer and Lady Guizhong knew full well that they had been squeezing Jiang Yan far too harshly these past two days, so when Jiang Yan said he was going out, they didn't try to stop him much.

People, after all, need to relax sometime.

After Jiang Yan slipped out and saw that Cloud Retainer, Lady Guizhong, and the others hadn't come after him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
