"What about the Martial Arts Ceremony?"
Fei Xiao looked at Jing Yuan, curious.
"The Wolf Hunting Plan succeeded, and the tourists and civilians caught up in it had their memories erased."
"But word gets around. News of the Buli Ren attacking a crowded market is bound to spread."

"As for the Buli Ren attack, if word gets out, we can say it was part of a covert operation."
