Zhang Yunxi and Hu Jin had been there for a while. Neither had stepped forward to interrupt Granny Li and Luo Bin.
"Well..." Hu Jin looked somewhat troubled before saying, "Miao Lan often asks Huang Ying to clean his wounds for him. You've always tacitly allowed that... It was perfectly normal for Miao Lan to come today. Huang Ying just happened to be out gathering herbs. She hadn't returned early, and Miao Lan is disabled. Surely he couldn't suddenly go out and do something to Huang Ying..."
Hu Jin abruptly fell silent.
Granny Li did not lay things out with the same meticulous logic and evidence they did.
Still, what she had said more or less explained the connection.
Miao Na had been missing all this time, and she suspected the Spirit-Transfer Cave was involved.
The Spirit-Transfer Cave had remained dormant because Luo Bin had stayed in Valley Ravine.
Once Luo Bin left Valley Ravine and returned to Thousand Miao Village, the Spirit-Transfer Cave might make a move.
They could do nothing to Luo Bin. First, they dared not offend the Miao King and would not venture anywhere near Valley Ravine. Second, they could only learn of his return after he entered Thousand Miao Village.
Thus, everything had come full circle.
Luo Bin's return meant the missing Miao Na was very likely to reappear, influence Miao Lan, and have Huang Ying abducted!
"Utterly devious! Someone, bring Miao Lan here!" Miao Yi decisively gave the order.
Footsteps suddenly sounded, slowly making their way into the Courtyard.
"Lou Fang, there's no need to send anyone. I came on my own."
Miao Lan's voice rang out.
Everyone in the Courtyard turned toward the entrance.
