The atmosphere had become especially heavy.
Just then, Chun Xiaoman noticed that Li Huowang had no reaction on his face and was just about to speak.
"Shh," Li Huowang placed his finger to his lips, signaling Chun Xiaoman to be quiet. He listened intently to something in the south.
A moment later, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"No hurry, the food issue is solved," he said.
Under the gaze of the others, Li Huowang's body slowly shifted and gradually merged into the wall beside him.
"Wait here for me; I'll be right back," Li Huowang's voice came from thin air.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I know this; it's the Pass-Through-Wall Technique my second uncle mentioned. A true master indeed, even as a gentleman thief he outperforms others."
While Li Huowang hid his phantom in the wall, his body was in a state of invisibility.
Hugging the wall, he walked around and into a house.
Passing through an outer courtyard with chickens, he entered the house. The voices from before were now clearer.
