Chapter 17, Veiled Dragon Pavilion

As the three left Cai Manor, Captain Pang and Luo Yunchang were trembling and even looked back now and then for fear of Cai Rong having changed his mind. Only Zhuo Fan was calm, yet a bit of rage still existed in his heart.

“Young miss, is there anywhere else we can go?” Zhuo Fan asked in a cold tone.

Her eyes turned misty as she shook her head. Captain Pang also signed in sorrow.
