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

“Snap.” Right at this moment, a snap brought them back to their senses.

“Wait a minute.” Bai Luochu reached out to stop Ying Lan, “Did you hear the sound of a tree branch snapping?”

“I didn’t. Mistress, there isn’t anyone around us. Are you too nervous?” Ying Lan frowned slightly to express his doubts.

Bai Luochu shook her head and said to Ying Lan, “I might be too nervous, but it is better to be careful.”

Ying Lan nodded in agreement.

Of course, the person who snapped the branch was Pei Rumo who was tailing the both of them.

When he saw that Bai Luochu had left, Pei Rumo let out a breath of relief before continuing his pursuit. The forest was too dark and he carelessly stepped on a tree branch. If not for the dark surroundings, he wouldn’t have exposed himself. He didn’t know how the two of them were able to see so clearly in the dark when executing their movement skills to the limit. When he thought about it, Pei Rumo became even more curious. How was it possible for Bai Luochu to possess such skills?

Bai Luochu and Ying Lan managed to arrive at the manor after the time it took to burn one stick of incense.

“Did you bring the map?” Bai Luochu extended her hand to ask for the map.

Ying Lan responded by immediately retrieving the map and handing it over to Bai Luochu. The trees covered the sky and even during the daytime, it would be difficult for light to enter the forest. Bai Luochu gathered her spirit qi into her palm and silently recited an incantation. A ball of light appeared in her hand and illuminated the map.

After observing for a long time, she came up with her plan. Bai Luochu kept her spirit qi and instructed Ying Lan, “I will enter through the front of the manor. After knocking out all the outer valley disciples, you will enter from the back and head straight for the Phoenix King Valley Elder’s courtyard. Wait for him to enter the bath before igniting the sleeping incense. It has a faint fragrance and those who inhale it will have a nice nap till dawn. Even if the Phoenix King Valley Elder wants to look for someone, we will be long gone by then.”

Bai Luochu was about to fly into the manor, but Ying Lan stopped her. “Mistress, why don’t I go first? Wait till I knock out all these outer valley disciples, I will head straight for the Phoenix King Valley Elder’s room. You can just keep a lookout for me here.”

Bai Luochu naturally knew Ying Lan’s concern. However, she was the mistress and she knew she shouldn’t be a tortoise hiding in her shell. She pushed his hand away and flew towards the manor.
