After getting the go-ahead, the man smiled too. "Actually, I don't think that Bi Fan fellow will really dare to come!"
"That's not necessarily true," the young man said gravely. "Someone who could cripple Liu Xuan with a single palm strike and has ties to the Moxue Li Family isn't so simple."
"But even if he comes, he might not get the chance to enter the lake's hidden space, right?"
"That's hard to say..."
The two led their group away, talking as they went.
But after what had happened last time, no one dared make a careless move. Only when half an hour had passed and Bi Fan appeared first did the others show themselves one by one.
Qin Zhuang couldn't help taking a deep breath. "Hah, whew! I was suffocating! Those annoying bastards finally left!"
"We've managed to dodge a bullet," Bi Fan said, letting out a breath of relief as he smiled at Zheng Shi'an.
He had sensed earlier that the group would double back, but he had no way to send the others a message. Fortunately, Zheng Shi'an had been quick-witted. Using his control over Stealth Art, he had kept everyone perfectly still without anyone noticing, and they hadn't been discovered.
"Big brother, that group shouldn't be so wary of us anymore, right?" Su Bai asked with a smile.
Bi Fan shook his head with a wry smile. "Not necessarily. As long as we don't show ourselves, they'll stay on their guard."
"The only thing putting us at a disadvantage now is that A Xuan is in their hands. We can't afford to act rashly."
"Brother Fan, what do we do next? From what they said, they'll be looking for a chance to enter that lake in the next couple of days," Yu Si Yan asked softly.
