At this point, Swallow Li patted Liu Ergou on the shoulder. "If they're not after you," he said, "who else could they be after? Me?"
After a moment of thought, Liu Ergou had to admit his master had a point. He was also quite surprised. Swallow Li had just said that no one in the entire Ancient Martial Sects dared to spy on him. My master is pretty incredible, isn't he? Liu Ergou thought. Taking him on was definitely the right choice.
Seeing Liu Ergou's silence, Swallow Li added, "Alright, kid, don't overthink it. Since someone is here watching you, we'll just have to drag them out later. This person has excellent lightness skills, so you won't be able to catch them. Let's go back."
With that, Swallow Li pulled Liu Ergou back into the room.
「In a large tree not far away.」
A figure dressed in black garb was hiding among the branches. Watching Liu Ergou and Swallow Li return to their room, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
