For now, the only thing to do was have Monkey leave the city and lie low for a while.
Hearing this, Monkey took the letter and left the city once more...
He had already arranged with Qin Fang that after entering the city and contacting Master Zhou, he would go to the same spot as last night to wait for him...
Time trickled by. Monkey waited at last night's location, but Qin Fang never appeared.
Not until night was about to fall did a travel-worn Qin Fang finally show up.
"Master Qin." Monkey hurried forward to greet him.
Qin Fang nodded. "A reply from Master-brother?"
"Yes, it's here."
Qin Fang took the letter and began to read. There wasn't much new—just that his master-brother was now aware of his situation and, at the same time, informed him that he hadn't been able to uncover anything in the county town.
