The handover and preparation for departure were completed within a single day. That night, Wufu was accompanied by Ah Jiu to meet the people brought over by Yi Er, essentially making acquaintances, as these people would be under her command from then on.
Individuals dressed in black robes stood in the courtyard, both men and women, each with varying appearances ranging from beautiful to unattractive, plump to thin, noticeable to nondescript.
After the introductions, everyone dispersed, for if such a large group gathered here caused a disturbance, they could easily be captured in one fell swoop.
With the departure imminent, as soon as dawn broke and the city gates were opened, Ah Jiu and the others would leave. This night, no one could sleep.
Wufu was summoned to the study, only to find Ah Jiu standing with his back to her, causing her to pause in surprise.
"Ah Jiu?"
Ah Jiu, with one hand behind his back, slowly turned around, and Wufu was momentarily stunned by his appearance.
