Bai Meng’s words immediately caused Wu Wa to retract her foot; the boss’s words simply couldn’t be ignored.
Only then did she seriously observe the Formation and noticed that many places indeed seemed a bit odd.
"Someone triggered it, and the result is evident, they must have been severely injured, follow me."
Bai Meng finished the last bite of his egg crepe before he started walking forward.
The corner of Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched, not over anything else, but because of one thing, the bag that Ancestor had been holding was empty...
It had contained over ten egg crepes, their lunch, and now...
Indeed, like master, like apprentice, having such a disciple, and having such a master, she really wasn’t surprised at all.
Following step by step, they finally noticed a ground full of arrows not far away.
It was a trace of the Formation being triggered, looking very grim.
"How could this happen, then my Mommy and the others..."
Wu Wa anxiously looked at everything in front of her, her heart burning with impatience, wanting to rush back home.
Bai Zhi could only tightly hold her hand, reassuring her not to worry, but how could she possibly not worry?
If they continued forward, the core of the Formation being intact meant that the inside wasn’t affected.
And by noon, they arrived at Wu Family Village.
The entire village was surrounded, leaving only a drawbridge which couldn’t be entered if the other side didn’t give permission.
Wu Wa was about to take out her spoon but was stopped by Bai Meng.
Bai Meng just walked to a certain spot, turned around once, and within the mist under the drawbridge, the bridge’s pier could be barely seen.
Bai Zhi: "..." Truly worthy of being the Ancestor.
Wu Wa looked at Bai Meng in surprise, never imagining it would be ...
"Third Grandpa, how did you know this?" Even they might not know.
"Because I’m your grandpa, aren’t you..."
Bai Meng said indifferently, and in Bai Zhi’s ears, it was as if nothing could be unknown to him.
Wu Wa was somewhat dazed, after all, she wasn’t actually his granddaughter.
They quickly got to the base of the city wall, and looking back, the pier had long since vanished, disguised by fog that crept in unknowingly.
It was so thick that one couldn’t see their own hands in front of them; if they weren’t standing close, they couldn’t even make out each other’s faces.
It looked like rain was coming, but Bai Zhi felt that it probably wasn’t the case.
Bai Meng didn’t wait for them to open the gate. He turned around for a long time and then touched the wall, and voila, a door opened...
They followed him inside, into pitch darkness.
Pitch-dark as it was, they could still keep up with Bai Meng’s pace.
Only at this moment did they understand why they had been made to practice those...
Not being able to see didn’t mean they couldn’t hear.
The sounds of footsteps, light and heavy, and where to put their feet next, they heard everything loud and clear.
After an indeterminate amount of time, they finally arrived at a hidden chamber, and Bai Meng quickly took out a match to light a lamp.
Only then did Wu Wa realize this was the secret chamber behind the council hall, only ever accessible by Mommy.
"This is the secret chamber behind the council hall."
Third Grandpa was too amazing, actually knowing about their secret chamber.
Thank goodness they knew Third Grandpa was a good person; otherwise, the safety of their village would be too worrisome.
Bai Meng frowned, and Wu Wa immediately quieted down.
At that moment, there was a siege happening in the council hall outside.
It was indeed a siege, several elders were discussing matters with Wu Wa’s Mommy.
