With Yan Daoxin's assurance, everyone felt much more at ease. However, to be cautious, they did not return to their rooms as they did the previous night, but gathered in one room on the second floor, which also served as a form of mutual watch.
At first, everyone was extremely alert, even appearing particularly refreshed and full of energy because of Yan Daoxin's Awakening Pills.
Yan Shu even secretly worried, asking Zhu Yu in a whisper whether they would be unable to sleep because the pills worked too well, staring into the air until dawn if nothing happened that night.
However, her concern was clearly unnecessary.
As night deepened, the small courtyard remained quiet, with no sign of anything unusual except for the faint fragrance from the flowers blooming again in the pond.
