Outside the honeycomb stone wall.
Outside the cave where Wei He was staying, "Lou Shengyue" waited in utter boredom.
He had changed into Lou Shengyue's appearance and waist token, and had been waiting here for over ten minutes.
Wei He, the final target of his mission, had yet to emerge.
But judging by Wei He's usual habits, he should be coming out soon.
After all, something so major had happened outside, and "Lou Shengyue" had already sent the news in ahead of time.
Most of the other True People nearby who had been in seclusion had already emerged and gone down the mountain. Only a sparse few, including Wei He, remained.

Click, click.
Sure enough, faint sounds of movement came from the stone door.
The door opened.
A pale young man in a black robe, his black hair draped over his shoulders, slowly emerged from the cave.

"And Eldest Senior Sister Yuan Du Zi and the others aren't here. You should hurry down the mountain and join everyone. It would be best to form an array for self-defense, lest someone take advantage of an opening."
"Lou Shengyue" swiftly advised him with a grave expression.

His disguise had clearly been flawless. He had observed Lou Shengyue for a long time and learned nearly every detail about her before
