The sky was dim. The man opposite her stood tall and elegant, his bamboo hat tilted slightly, revealing only a pair of clear, piercing phoenix eyes.
Ye Chutang arched an eyebrow.
"What a coincidence."
'I thought I wouldn't see him again after leaving the mine. I can't believe we've run into each other after just one night.'
She tilted her chin up. "Together?"
But Shen Yanchuan shook his head. "It's dangerous. Don't go."
Ye Chutang was taken aback.
'Is he... here specifically to stop me?'
Shen Yanchuan was succinct. "They have reinforcements in Nanwan Lane. Their skills are not to be underestimated."
Ye Chutang understood at once—those people were deliberately baiting a trap!
'The previous search must not have gone smoothly, so now they're trying this method as well—a two-pronged approach.'
Her eyes narrowed slightly. "...So, it really is him?"
Shen Yanchuan gave an almost imperceptible nod.
