Ye Yang proceeded directly to the Escort Warrior Head's quarters, intent on delivering First Elder Eva Angel's message without delay.
As Ye Yang approached the Escort Garrison, located conveniently near the Ye Manor, he overheard a snippet of conversation among the guards. "Hey, have you heard? That bit*h Xu Li has been promoted to Clan Warrior," one of them said, their voice laced with a mix of surprise and disdain.
Another guard, who had just returned from an errand, chimed in, "Xu Li, the maid of the 4th Young Master? I can't believe it!" He seemed just as astonished as the first guard, his voice laced with incredulity.
The first guard leaned in, a conspiratorial look on his face. "Yeah, but keep this under wraps for now - it hasn't been officially announced yet, but Young Elder Ye Xuan has already accepted Xu Li as his disciple," he whispered, his voice barely audible as he shared the juicy gossip, his eyes scanning the surroundings to ensure no one was listening.
