Ming Lingyi instinctively looked toward the source of the sound, while Xiao Chun shielded her, afraid the killer was the same man who had appeared in their courtyard a few nights before.
"Sounds like there's trouble at the Chai Family Noodle House."
"Then let's hurry and take a look."
"What's going on? Did something happen at Granny Qiu's shop?"
Hearing the chatter of passersby, Ming Lingyi couldn't help but exchange a look with Xiao Chun.
'The Chai Family Noodle House... Granny Qiu's shop... isn't that the noodle shop run by Yao Niang?'
Ming Lingyi had never crossed paths with this Yao Niang. However, one day, while returning from an outing with Xiao Chun, she had entered the market through the front gate of Huaided Fang and passed the Chai Family Noodle House. By then, most of the shops on the street were already closed for the night, yet a candle still flickered inside the noodle house.
