Bai Xi wasn't sure if the villagers truly couldn't provide the items, or if they were merely using it as an excuse to make her and Ye Xiao stay. However, for the time being, staying aligned with their goals.
After taking a lap around the village, Bai Xi returned to her room to meet up with Ye Xiao and exchange information. According to Ye Xiao, there were absolutely no large predators near the village. In fact, there weren't even any small or medium-sized animals. Meanwhile, Bai Xi's findings were even more surprising.
"So, that ancestral hall and the old Mu who never leaves her house are the key to the mission," Ye Xiao said in a low voice.
Bai Xi nodded. "They definitely have a secret. That old Mu is way too strange."
That night was dark and windy.
