Although Duan Yanqing suggested they go directly back to seek help from Duan Zhengming, Ye Weiming believed it was too early to ask for reinforcements, even hesitating to send the news to Moon via messenger pigeon.
After all…
Seeing is believing!
Even if they were to alert Duan Zhengming to send the rescue team, they should first have a firsthand knowledge of who the enemy guarding the prison outside the stone room really is. With such understanding, their words will carry more weight when discussing with Duan Zhengming.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Weiming and the others let Zhong Ling return to her room to rest, once she pointed out the location of the stone chamber where Duan Yu was held captive.
From the previous conversation with Duan Yanqing, they could deduce that the enemies they encountered, including Jiang Jinjiu were likely on assignment from Zhong Wanchou or a mysterious master, not Duan Yanqing.
