Overnight, nothing happened. When dawn broke, the entire team sprang into action.
"Steward Qian, go to the mountain gate again and fire a signal flare. See if there's any response. If there isn't, wait ten minutes and fire another one. If there's still no response, come back."
"Yes, elder!"
"Wait. First, notify the leaders of each family's team and have them pack their things quickly. Once you return, we'll enter the mountain gate."
"Understood!"
"Also, tell those leaders that the team's marching order will remain the same as when we came here. This time, however, you'll take several people at the front. Elder Zhou and I will follow behind, then the other teams. Ouyang Nan will be responsible for the rear."
"Yes, elder."
"Alright, go inform the others."
Looking at the mechanical watch on his wrist, Qian Ying gave Qian Wantong his instructions.
Upon hearing this, Qian Wantong immediately nodded and went to assign tasks to the various family teams, telling them to quickly pack their belongings and prepare to depart once the time came. Finally, he found Ouyang Nan and conveyed Qian Ying's instructions, telling her and her group to guard the rear.
This time, not having Ouyang Nan's group conduct reconnaissance or serve as the Vanguard Team was already a very considerate arrangement.
Of course, Qian Ying had his own calculations in making these arrangements. He would first let Ouyang Nan's group relax. Once they entered the mountain gate, if they truly encountered trouble, he could forcibly assign them something else. That way, not only would the Martial Artists in the team have no objections, but Ouyang Nan and the others would not object too strongly either.
After hearing Qian Wantong's arrangements, Ouyang Nan naturally slung on her backpack and led her team to prepare for rear guard
