Chapter 2028: Beat you at your own game

Within the cluster of mountains, the North Plaza was the largest empty plot of land. It also had many viewing platforms. Usually, it was rarely opened. This time, they had opened it because of her, which was something unprecedented.
Hai Xing and Hai Xi sent Sima You Yue to the North Plaza before going to the viewing platform.
Before the Examination began, they said that Sima You Yue would be waiting below on her own. Hai Xing, Hai Xi and Fu Xi were incredibly excited as they waited on the viewing platform.
At this time, a male stranger walked to Hai Xing and Hai Xi, saying, “Hai Xing, someone asked me to pass this to you.”
Hai Xing and Hai Xi saw the jade token of their clan in his hand and their breathing hitched. They tried to suppress the waves of surprise as they took the jade token and asked, “Where is this person?”
“Waiting for you in a little town outside. She said that she would not be able to wait for long, and asked for you to meet her. That person said that you were not to tell anyone about it. Hai Xi, who is that person? She looked so suspicious. Could she be a bad person?”
Suspicious?
Hai Xing and Hai Xi exchanged glances, saying, “No, one of our clan members has probably found us, we will go to meet her. Thank you for bringing us this news.”
“So it is one of your clansmen. In that case, since I’ve brought you the news, I’ll take my leave.” The person said as he left.
“Wait.” Hai Xing called him, “I’ve never seen you in our sect before. Did you come from the small town?”
The person hesitated for a moment before replying, “Yes.”
“Since that’s the case, wait for us. We’ll leave with you.” Hai Xing said, “When the time comes, we still require your help to point that person out to us.”
“Alright.”
“Then you can wait for us at the exit. We’ll leave once we’ve made our greetings.”
“Alright.”
The person left and waited for them by the exit. Hai Xing said something to the man behind her, but nobody knew what she said.
“Based on their personalities, they probably won’t tell anyone about this, right?” He guessed. After all, the existence of the Hai Clan was a secret, so they wouldn’t be so foolish as to tell someone.
Hai Xing told Fu Xi about what happened, then said, “This jade token belongs to my Little Aunt. At that time my clan was exterminated, she went missing. Now that we have a trace of her, we want to go and take a look.”
“You should know that this is probably a trap.” Fu Xi said.
“I know. However, this is the first trace of my Little Aunt that we have ever gotten.” Hai XIng said, ‘Although there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that it is a trap, we can’t just ignore this.”
“Alright then, go ahead.’ Fu Xi nodded. When he saw that person look over, he said, “You guys go on. Hurry back, I will tell You Yue about this.”
“Then we’ll have to thank you.” Hai Xing knew that he said this for that person to hear and nodded her head at him gratefully as she went over to that person with Hai Xi.
That person read Fu Xi’s lips and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what he had said. Although he had said that, he would wait here until Sima You Yue was done with her examination. As long as these people did not come over now, by the time they realised that these two had gone missing, it would be when the examination was over. At that time, how could they possibly find any trace of them?
He headed out with Hai Xing and Hai Xi, leaving the noisy North Plaza. The area beside it was much quieter.
On the way there, they asked him about what was going on in the small town, but he couldn’t give them an answer. He explained that he had only entered the sect recently, so he had been sent to the small town to guard it. When they saw his expression, the siblings knew that this was definitely a trap.
