"Brother Jin, you're as prophetic as ever. The kid was clearly heading back to the sect, yet he went on about having some business to take care of," Fang Yun said admiringly.
Xu Yang's words had been so earnest that Fang Yun had actually thought Xu Yang truly had some business to attend to.
Jin Lei said, "He was trying to misdirect me, thinking I'd fall for it. He has no idea I saw through his little scheme from the very beginning."
Just as he spoke, Xu Yang's figure flashed ahead and disappeared into the mountain woods beside the road.
Fang Yun exclaimed in amazement, "He's taking a detour! He's far too cautious. If we had tried to ambush him halfway, we would have never even found him. But this is the perfect place to make our move. It'll save us the trouble of hiding the body and covering our tracks."
Jin Lei said, "That's why I chose to start tailing him from the city gate. When you're dealing with someone this cautious, you must be careful yourself."
