Fire Phoenix had already instructed them to be quite polite to Mengyao and the others, not to respond regardless of what they say, which is why the Shadow Guard remained so calm. Otherwise, how could Chu Biyao dare to chatter away in front of them?

Han Bihong and the ten women knew they were no match and couldn't escape, so they had to give up all resistance. The thought of fleeing wasn't absent, but it wasn't realistic at all.

Since Chu Mengyao was captured, her mind hadn't stopped, always pondering the identity of the black-clad figures; however, she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, nor their intentions and background.

It looked nothing like a vendetta, given how the black-clad figures showed respect towards them, at least without any intent to kill.

This situation only left her more perplexed. If they weren't enemies, then why capture them?

Could it be related to Ye Fan? But that didn't seem reasonable either; there was no need to be so courteous to them.

Unable to think of a reason, Mengyao could only patiently wait for the other side to make a move.

Chu Biyao couldn't sit still. Once she noticed the kind demeanor of the black-clad men, she became more audacious. Ignoring her sister's advice, she retorted, "Sister, don't worry about me. Even if my throat burns, I will still annoy these statue-like black-clad figures, make them quickly inform the leader, and have them reveal their cards. What good is it to drag things on? It's of no benefit to anyone, so why bother?"

The Shadow Guard was truly exasperated, as Chu Biyao kept chattering at them non-stop. Unable to retaliate, they could only endure it, despite being well-trained cold-blooded guards, unable to bear nagging sounds the most.

"With the energy to nag at them, why not sit down and catch a breath? Asking them won't get anything out, so just wait patiently." Mengyao said helplessly.

The Shadow Guard was enormously grateful to Mengyao in their hearts, hoping this annoying fellow would quiet down soon.

"My throat is dry, I want water." Chu Biyao eventually compromised. She also realized this was futile; she simply hoped that using such a rogue way might force the mastermind's hand, but it seemed ineffective.

After a couple of sips of water, Chu Biyao said impatiently, "Sister, you say, for them to capture us without any demands, what origin does the person behind this have?"

"I don't know." Mengyao shook her head in confusion.

"So annoying, sneaky bastards." Chu Biyao cursed under her breath.

As soon as she uttered those words, the Shadow Guard at the scene cast equally resentful glances at Chu Biyao.

Chu Biyao shivered, goosebumps rising all over her body. A chill crept from her toes to the back of her head, her whole body instantly freezing. Being stared at by the black-clad figures was like being watched by a pack of wolves, it was terrifying.

"Don't stare at me; I'm just talking. I won't say anymore, alright?" Chu Biyao immediately conceded; she had no choice, those stares were too frightening, her little heart could not bear it.

Only then did the Shadow Guard withdraw their gaze, no longer paying attention to Chu Biyao. If it weren't for Fire Phoenix's instructions, based on Chu Biyao's disrespectful words alone, they would have made her pay the price.

They were annoyed by Chu Biyao, they could shrug it off, but showing disrespect to Fire Phoenix, that was a major offense, a grave mistake.

Chu Biyao shrank closer to her sister, her face even a bit pale.

"I told you not to talk nonsense, and you didn't listen. Now you're scared, aren't you? When under someone else's roof, you must bow your head. Don't you understand that?" Mengyao secretly warned.

"Sister, I get it now. They were terrifying just now." Chu Biyao replied, still shaken.

"They were annoyed by my sister's incessant chatter, and yet they didn't react at all. But for the mastermind, just one slightly disrespectful remark roiled such a big reaction?" Mengyao thought, glancing at the black-clad figures, filled with doubts.

Honestly, the Shadow Guard's reaction wasn't big, it was a little small. To insult a Human Body Limit expert is intolerable, per the unchanging creed: those who insult must die. It was Fire Phoenix's orders that stopped them from being disrespectful. If not, Chu Biyao's insulting words would have driven the Shadow Guard mad.

Even though Chu Biyao didn't understand, penalties would be imposed to uphold the dignity of the Human Body Limit expert.

Han Bihong and the ten women knew too well the reaction of the black figures. As former members of Blood Rose, they naturally understood that the piercing gaze was to guard their dignity. Such a gaze only appeared when defending a Human Body Limit expert, hinting there was an expert behind the black-clad men?

Upon realizing this, the ten women were startled.

"President, big star, don't underestimate those behind the black-clad figures. Even in words, we mustn't be rude, or else there will be great trouble," Han Bihong warned seriously.

The sisters nodded subconsciously at Han Bihong's serious gaze.

Especially Chu Biyao, even though her mind was riddled with doubts, it wasn't the time for her curiosity now.

Suddenly, the door to the room swung open, and Fire Phoenix glided in.

"It's her?"

"How could it be her?"

"I considered so many possibilities, but I didn't expect it to be her?" Mengyao whispered in surprise.

"Who is she, sister, when did you know someone like this? It seems she's the leader of the black-clad figures, right?" The more confused Chu Biyao became, she wondered to herself, "Could it be an old acquaintance of sister, turning against each other now?"

Mengyao glared at her sister but said nothing.

"Could she be a Human Body Limit expert, the leader of the black-clad figures? Calculating it this way, then our benefactor must be a Human Body Limit expert as well. We doubted the benefactor's power, wondering if it was infinitely close to a Human Body Limit expert, but turns out, the benefactor is indeed a genuine Human Body Limit expert." The five women, including Du Xueqi, were dumbfounded.

Han Bihong, the five women, and Chu Biyao naturally didn't know that Fire Phoenix had met Ye Fan and Mengyao in the Ba Country.

Back then, the five women, including Du Xueqi, suspected Fire Phoenix was Ye Fan's former lover.

"You all may leave now." Fire Phoenix casually waved at the black-clad figures.

The black-clad figures didn't say a word, bowing slightly, and then filed out, their demeanor so respectful as if after a queen had dismissed court, the two lines of ministers retreated in orderly fashion.

This spectacle confirmed for Han Bihong's ten women that Fire Phoenix was indeed the leader of the black-clad figures and one who stood at the pinnacle of the world, a Human Body Limit expert.
