"Just four characters? Did you miss sothing?"
Bai Changfeng looked utterly perplexed.
Xun Tianhai, helpless, handed the phone to him, "See for yourself, just four characters. Could I possibly not recognize them?!"
He wondered if there might be so words below.
He swiped back and forth, yet there were no other ssages.
Bai Changfeng flipped through it multiple tis; there were indeed only four characters.
Bai Changfeng was imdiately baffled, "The Abbot only sent these four characters. What do they an?"
"I want to ask that too, ’Be prepared’—be prepared for what? It’s so vague." Xun Tianhai frowned irritably, "Give the phone, I’ll ssage the Abbot and ask."
Bai Changfeng returned the phone to Xun Tianhai.
Xun Tianhai instantly sent a few question marks over, inquiring what Jiangli ant by this.
Yet, Jiangli did not respond.
Xun Tianhai was even more bewildered, "What does this an? Not replying to my ssages..."
"Be prepared—" Yu Misheng spoke in a low tone, "Perhaps she needs us to do sothing?"
Xun Tianhai replied impatiently, "Of course, otherwise why send this ssage! The problem is, we don’t know what the Abbot wants us to do. How can we prepare?"
Yu Misheng said, "Set up the formation."
Xun Tianhai looked puzzled, "Set up the formation?"
Set up what kind of formation?
Xun Tianhai suddenly felt confused; why do people speak so incoherently, a phrase here, a phrase there.
What does it all an?
However...
Yu Misheng clearly wasn’t the type to clarify things for him.
After dropping the words ’set up the formation,’ Yu Misheng turned and left.
When he returned, he brought quite a few people and supplies, and started setting up the formation directly in Wu Jianhan’s inn.
Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng took a closer look; it seed that Yu Misheng was arranging an Evil-subduing Array.
Is this to deal with He Ruoi?
But isn’t He Ruoi at ho? What good is setting up a formation here?
Could it be that He Ruoi is actually here?
Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng exchanged a puzzled glance.
But they didn’t have ti to think it over; after pondering briefly, they went over to help.
The people on both sides tead up once more, quickly arranging a huge Evil-subduing Array throughout Wu Jianhan’s inn.
Ensuring that should He Ruoi appear here, she would be instantly subdued.
After confirming this point, everyone didn’t leave Wu Jianhan’s ho but stayed directly in the first-floor lobby, waiting for He Ruoi to appear, and for Jiangli’s ssage.
...
Late at night.
Jiangli and others, after dining at He Ruoi’s house, stayed there to rest.
Jiangli brushed past Xia Xin and went directly with Fu Shiyan into He Ruoi’s living room.
ng Hongyao moved into He Ruoi’s son’s room.
Xia Xin stayed alone in the living room.
Xia Xin lay on the sofa, yawning heavily, probably due to feeling sleepy after eating and drinking.
Soon, he felt his eyes growing heavy.
Without realizing it, he fell asleep.
As night descended, the whole of He Ruoi’s house quieted down.
The lights in the house were mostly turned off, leaving only darkness.
"Tap tap—"
"Tap, tap, tap, tap—"
Suddenly, Xia Xin heard strange noises; the sound was...
Like a sewing machine at work.
Xia Xin didn’t know how it happened, but images of that sewing machine in the secret chamber imdiately flashed in his mind; his heart shuddered, trying to open his eyes.
But he didn’t know why; his eyelids felt so heavy, he simply couldn’t open them.
He could only listen to the sounds outside.
"Crunch—"
"Rip—"
He heard strange noises, as if soone was tearing at so cloth rolls, but the sound was sowhat muffled, not quite like ordinary fabric.
