Long Yi found the village only after Xiao Ji and Princess Xinyang had left with their entourage.
The old lady's small thatched hut was the closest to the cave entrance; he first went to the old lady's place. Having stayed by Princess Xinyang's side for years, he was thoroughly familiar with her aura.
As soon as he entered, he knew she had been here.
He asked the old lady where they had gone.
He wore a mask, his eyes emanating endless killing intent.
Mengmeng is very fierce!
You better confess truthfully!
Otherwise, I'll kill you!
The old lady was successfully threatened, raised her hand, and pointed to the slope in the backyard: "They left from there."
Xiao Ji didn't specify where they went; firstly, he didn't want to implicate the old woman, and secondly, to prevent any chance the old woman might betray them.
Protection was one thing, trust was another; if he didn't plan thoroughly, he couldn't have survived this long.
