A respectful voice came from outside, "Thank you, Elder Zhou."
Then there was a sparse noise in the courtyard. After a while, someone said, "Sorry, Elder Zhou, we've disturbed you. We'll look elsewhere."
The noisy sounds in the courtyard immediately disappeared.
Mù Qiānxún let out a long sigh of relief.
But before she could catch her breath, she heard the deep voice of the old man, "They've left, come out!"
Mù Qiānxún's heart skipped a beat, no, no, no, no, no... Could he be talking about her?
The next second, her fantasy shattered.
"The person under the bed, come out. If you don't, I'll call them back."
Mù Qiānxún awkwardly scratched her head and carefully crawled out from under the bed. Her hair was a bit messy after crawling through the bushes several times. Now she looked rather dirty.
