Chapter 205: Nightfall, Operation Star (1/2)

Night fell and Ying Lan carried a night suit into the secluded courtyard. Handing the suit to Bai Luochu, he left the room and patiently waited at the back door.

“Let’s go.” In less than half the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Bai Luochu flew out of the back door as she made her way towards the Phoenix King Valley’s manor.

Bai Luochu never expected herself to be spotted along the way. Much less by Pei Rumo who was on his way to the general’s residence to look for her.

“Master, Young Lady Luo Chu seems to be heading towards the mountains where the Phoenix King Valley is. Do you want to follow her?” The coachman asked.

Pei Rumo muttered for a moment before replying, “You don’t have to. We might be exposed if we head over there now. I will head over there myself. Please bring the carriage back to the residence.” Pei Rumo alighted and shot towards Bai Luochu.

After Pei Rumo’s figure disappeared, the coachman turned the carriage back towards the residence.

As Pei Rumo followed Bai Luochu, more doubts popped up in his heart.

What kind of unspeakable secret does Luo Chu have? Putting aside the fact that she has been targeting the Phoenix King Valley, she chose to act against them in the night. This is really strange. I wanted to look for her to discuss the next stage of our plan but caught her in the act instead. What in the world are you scheming now?

As Pei Rumo muttered to himself, he executed his movement skill to the fullest. He was afraid he would lose track of Bai Luochu in the middle of the night. If that were to happen, he would never be able to catch up to her.

Bai Luochu was speaking to Ying Lan as they made their way towards the Phoenix King Valley. “Listen up. Time is pressing and I shall speak along the way. Remember my instructions and don’t mess up.” Bai Luochu took out two medicine bottles and one of them was white, the other was black. She placed them in different colored bottles so that Ying Lan wouldn’t mix them up.

“Hold these two bottles properly. Ignite the black one and blow into the Phoenix King Valley Elder’s room. There are extra ingredients in the medicine in order to knock the elder out. If we inhale the smoke, we will be affected as well. The white bottle is the antidote. Before lighting the black bottle up, hold the antidote in your mouth. You cannot swallow it. It will lose its effect if you swallow it. Because of the time constraint, I only made two antidotes. If you mess up, there isn’t anymore, do you understand?”

“This subordinate understands. What about Mistress? What are you going to do?” Ying Lan noticed that Bai Luochu had only given him his instructions. He was afraid she would secretly do something dangerous.

“I will ignite the sleeping incense in all four corners of the manor. Once the outer valley disciples fall asleep, we will make our move.”
