Toward ht, Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus sneaked out of their tent and went towatch on the small caravan for them all this while in the northeastern corner of the ca that everything was alright and there was no trap

After having fulfilled her responsibilities, Guan Shang retreated to her own tent, leaving matters to the two killers

The 15 members of the small caravan were split evenly into three tents Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus intended to use knockout powder on the into their tents to cut off their heads

Before they took action, they spent a little bit of tiet out of habit What happened next proved that this was prudent

Fourteen people crept out of the three tents in groups of two or three, their faces concealed They nodded to one another and then headed for the southeastern corner of the camp

The fight in the tents had lasted for a very short period of time before the defeated maskedthe noises fro tents woke up with a start and ran out to check the situation Such chaos happened to provide coverage for the edstepped out of his tent and said in a loud voice, “Don’t panic It’s just a group of hooligans sneaking into our tents We’ve already defeated them and driven them away Everybody in our tents is fine”

The chaos quickly died down before reaching a cli’s explanation As they were in an uninhabited desert now and with a Golden Roc flag fluttering over their caan would dare to approach and that it must have been some people inside the ca had made it very clear that the monks did not want to track down the intruders, nobody wished to trouble himself

The moment the masked men had broken into the monks’ tents, Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus had sneaked back to the northeastern corner of the ca for the masked men to come back About one hour later, the masked men returned to their tents Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus could hear theether in whispers
