The guards were immediately excited upon hearing the words, shared a glance, and turned to leave.
That night, within the Stone Cave, aside from the restless Xing Yu and Yin He, nobody else could sleep. Once everything had quieted down, Yin He suddenly tapped Xing Yu.
Xing Yu immediately sat up, this was Yin He's signal.
"Going out for a night stroll?" Xing Yu muttered, as if it were just like any other time, but had already skillfully strapped a small bundle to his chest, and carried Yin He on his back as they walked towards the outside of the cave.
The guard seemed unsurprised; this young man got up two or three times every night, so without even lifting their heads, allowed Xing Yu a sigh of relief.
Outside the cave was a sloped path, leading past a low bush-covered slope to another mountain's peak, with a deep ravine in between, dense with vegetation, invisible from above.
