Zhao Hongyan and Lin Shuang spent some time whispering sweet nothings in the alley before returning hand in hand to the Frost Pavilion.
It wasn't until an hour later that Xiao Luozi, who had gone out to follow the old woman, finally came back.
As expected, as soon as the old woman left the alley, someone made contact with her. The contact was very cautious; after taking the silver, he immediately gave the old woman a small bundle, and she went straight out of the city.
The whole process was incredibly fast, not even taking more than fifteen minutes—it was truly swift.
Afraid this might be a dazzling method set by the opponent, Xiao Luozi cautiously decided to continue following that contact himself, while sending others to track the old woman.
The old woman didn't show any suspicious behavior and went straight to the countryside after leaving the city.
