After so many setbacks right from the start, Han Liuyue had expected bringing Vulture and the corpse into the Nest to be an even greater ordeal.
To her surprise, the next part of their journey went unexpectedly smoothly.
She took Vulture while Jin Xueli took the corpse. After dumping the collapsed, chaotic mess—a disaster no one knew how to begin cleaning up—on the rendezvous Hunter, the two of them split up and entered the Nest.
It wasn't that they didn't want to go together—Han Liuyue was actually uneasy about splitting up—but that they couldn't.
She hadn't asked Jin Xueli for the details and only knew the gist of it, but their Paths were apparently too far apart to converge, so they had no choice but to regroup inside the Nest.
She remained on high alert the entire way. No matter how reluctant Vulture was to return to the Nest, it never found an opening to exploit against Han Liuyue.
