Zhou Sichen released the silver Xuanji Bird, then sat down where he was and closed his eyes.
The Xuanji Bird immediately became much more lively. After lightly nodding to Tang Wulin in midair, it flew out through the window toward the address Tang Wulin had given Zhou Sichen.
Tang Wulin and Gongyang Mo took out sheets of paper and wrote down everything they had seen and heard at the underground market. Then Gongyang Mo went out to deliver the letter.
Before Gongyang Mo returned, Zhou Sichen opened his eyes, his face grave.
Tang Wulin quickly asked,
"How was it?"
Zhou Sichen frowned.
"I controlled the Xuanji Bird to the place you mentioned. There was no one in the courtyard, but through the Xuanji Bird, I could sense a faint smell of blood. After waiting for a while, someone dressed in white entered through the main gate. He knocked on the door of a room in the courtyard. The pattern was three long knocks and one short knock. Then the door opened, and the White-clothed Man was welcomed inside. I didn't dare let the Xuanji Bird follow him in, so I could only spy from the roof beam."
"That's enough."
Tang Wulin let out a sigh of relief. At the very least, they had uncovered information the black-clothed man had not told him. It was not a complete loss.
Tang Wulin ordered,
"Keep watching the branch. Once that White-clothed Man who just went in comes back out, switch me over."
"Alright."
Zhou Sichen nodded seriously and closed his eyes again.
After waiting for a short while, Gongyang Mo returned. Tang Wulin told him about the intelligence Zhou Sichen had just gathered and also explained his next plan. Gongyang Mo frowned slightly.
"Do you need my help?"
Tang Wulin shook his head.
