He reached a courtyard where the Crow had seen a mother and daughter, but the White-Robed Young Master stood guard at its entrance.

• Lu Hu warned Zhu Pin and the White-Robed Young Master that an intruder who evaded Orchid Pavilion’s defenses must be exceptionally powerful, so they split up to guard the Posthumous Child, alert the experts, and search the grounds.

• Lu Hu and the Purple-Robed Elder realized that the crow’s cultivation was likely far beyond theirs after it stole pills and escaped their attacks.

• Old Drunkard and the White-Robed Young Master realized a black crow had infiltrated Orchid Pavilion and hurried away to protect their treasures, then returned to test whether anyone was hiding nearby.
