[I will leave it to you.] Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.
However, he didn't speak right away. Instead, he fell into thought and didn't decide until thirty breaths later.
[Let's wait for them.] He said and a trace of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.
[What are you planning?] Zhen Yuan asked.
[Let's trap them in a killing formation disk. That way, we can deal with them without causing a commotion.]
[Okay.] Zhen Yuan agreed.
After that, Shen Xu took out a gourd of marrow cleansing wine and the two drank while waiting for the assassins to infiltrate their room.
Fortunately, they didn't wait long.
At a little past midnight, the two sensed someone trying to open a gap in the room's protective formation.
'Here they are.' Shen Xu thought and looked at Zhen Yuan.
Seeing the look, Zhen Yuan nodded but neither moved.
Instead, they sat cross-legged and pretended to be meditating on the bed.
Outside the room, Zhou Man looked to his right and frowned.
[How is it?] He asked.
