2544 Are You Happy? 2 (1/2)

Feng Ruhuo was shocked. It would appear as though the two of them were exposed! She subconsciously wanted to attack the chef but was stopped abruptly by Gu Xijiu. ”Don't do anything rash. I have cast a spell to hide us. He can't see us.”

The cook had obviously not seen them. He even took the opportunity to pee in the corner of the yard before returning to the restaurant.

Feng Ruhuo could help but Gu Xijiu a thumbs up in admiration. ”Miss Gu, you are brilliant!” She was very impressed by how quickly Gu Xijiu could think of everything in advance.

There were dozens of baskets in this yard; all of them looked rather big. Each basket had a lid on it, and there was a creaking sound coming from the inside. It was evident that the snakes were inside.

Feng Ruhuo took two steps forward, but Gu Xijiu held her wrist and whispered, ”Don't act rashly! There are traps around here! There are also people hiding in the dark.” Feng Ruhuo subconsciously looked around but did not see anyone. She was dismayed.

”There is a wizardry barrier at the northwest corner of this courtyard. There are 18 masters inside there. Each of them is a master with at least a level three spiritual power. In the kitchen, in the lobby, and even on the second floor, these people are not just cooks and guests. There are six masters in the kitchen. There are ten inside the restaurant, and there are four on the second floor of the private room.” Gu Xijiu was talking to Feng Ruhuo through a directed audio spell.

Feng Ruhuo was stunned. She had not sensed that there were ambushes in the vicinity. In fact, she did not even pick up any signs. She had certainly not expected Gu Xijiu to have gathered so much information just from standing in this courtyard for a brief moment! What an amazing observation!

Perhaps, it was not an exaggeration to say that she could be on par with the Devil King. Nonetheless, given that Feng Ruhuo was personally involved in this matter, she clearly did not want to believe in what Gu Xijiu had said.

Being able to sense her eagerness to still go after the baskets, Gu Xijiu merely looked down in disappointment. Without Di Fuyi around, she needed to prove her value to the team so that they would follow her instructions. She wanted to be able to save Di Fuyi with minimal cost.

Instead of continuing to convince Di Fuyi's subordinate, she lifted her finger, and a gust of wind seemed to storm toward one of the baskets.

”Pak!” The lid opened halfway.
