Lu Mian's departure left Cheng Feng with his hand awkwardly suspended in mid-air, and his smile frozen on his face. Embarrassed, he pulled back his hand and stopped looking at the girls at the Yulan Pavilion entrance.
The girls standing at the doorway exchanged bewildered glances between Lu Mian and the retreating Shadow Hunting Team and felt completely lost.
"Just now, was Chengzi greeting Lu Mian?"
"I don't think that's likely. Lu Mian has nothing to do with them! Besides..." a girl said oddly, "Fang Xilan mentioned that Lu Mian's family is really poor. How could she know someone from the Shadow Hunting Team?"
"That makes sense!"
"If only we could have a chance to visit their villa, that would be great!"

On this side, Cheng Feng reluctantly withdrew his hand and silently started to run.
Xun Xiaoran picked up his pace to catch up with him, warning him with his eyes to remember to follow the rules.
