Chapter 369: Observers in the Dark (1/2)

After getting Ying Lan’s firm answer, the two of them let out a sigh of relief as though a huge burden had been lifted off their shoulders. They then helped Ying Lan to pack his baggage.

It was already deep into the night and the city gates were already closed. It was obvious that they couldn’t just strut their way outside through the gates. As such, the trio were preparing to exit through a secret passage.

After sending Ying Lan to the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence outside of the city, Guan Yue brought out the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence’s best horse and handed the reins to Ying Lan before saying, “This is our Palace of Brilliance Resurgence’s best horse, don’t work it to death. If the horse dies from exhaustion, you’ll be held responsible.”

Ying Lan took over the reins and mounted the horse immediately before replying, “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of your horse.” Ying Lan knew that Guan Yue was using the horse as an excuse. He probably wanted Ying Lan to take breaks throughout the journey so as not to tire himself out.

At this current juncture, it seemed like it was useless to say anything else. Finally, Ying Lan turned around and urged the horse forward, leaving a trail of dust in his wake. A faint farewell could be heard from Meng Luoping, “Take care of yourself.”

The capital city wasn’t the only place bustling with excitement. Things were heating up in the Desolate Region as well.

It was deep into the night and it seemed as though a screen of black was formed around the sky, blocking off all connection to the outside world.

“Creak.” The door quietly opened, and a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

The person inside the room remained still as though he was expecting someone. Lu Wenshu’s solitary figure could be seen clearly as he faced the newcomer.

“Have you investigated clearly?” Lu Wenshu spoke to the figure in the dark.

The person walked over silently. With the dim illumination of moonlight, the figure finally revealed his face. Looking at his clothes, it was clear that he was from the same sect as Lu Wenshu.

“Senior, I have already monitored that person for two days. There are some new findings and I am here to make a report.”

It was pretty obvious who they were talking about....

“Speak. What did you find out? If you are here to run your mouth off, you should know the consequences.” It was clear that Lu Wenshu was threatening his fellow disciple.
