Zhang Xiaofan frowned and slowly nodded. "Very likely!"
Though he didn't want to agree, he had reached the same conclusion.
"The talisman has been removed for quite some time now! Doesn't that mean..." He Dazhi couldn't bring himself to think any further.
"Let's go find Master. We should tell him about this," Zhang Xiaofan suggested to He Dazhi.
He Dazhi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly. "I'll go talk to Master. You stay here and look after Little Junior Brother!"
As He Dazhi was about to leave the tent, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly remembered something. "Fourth Senior Brother!"
Hearing him, He Dazhi turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan.
"Back on Big Bamboo Peak, the seal on Fifth Senior Brother's left hand was undone once. Master and the others were there, as was the sect leader." Zhang Xiaofan figured Tian Buyi should understand how important the "talisman paper" was, so he reminded He Dazhi that there was no need to beat around the bush.
"That makes things easier! I'll go find Master!" With that, He Dazhi lifted the tent flap and walked out.
Tian Buyi sat beside the fire, sipping the hot soup in his hands as he watched the "blue" soldiers practicing not far away.
"Master!" He Dazhi went to Tian Buyi's side, bent down, and called to him in a low voice.
Hearing him, Tian Buyi froze for a moment. What could he possibly have to say that couldn't be said aloud? He turned to glance at the Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue, who were looking their way. Setting down his bowl of soup, he stood and walked aside with He Dazhi.
He Dazhi told him what he and Zhang Xiaofan had deduced. After hearing it, Tian Buyi's feelings could no longer be described as mere shock!
