The night was already deep, and Mochou Lake, still dotted with ripples in the breeze. The moon half-hidden in the dark clouds, radiating a faint glow, the entire land slept in peace.
At this moment, a black shadow appeared from somewhere, first lying silently on the roof ridge, watching quietly for a moment, then suddenly rose, gliding like a snake to hide at a location. After a while, the figure reappeared and went straight to the west of the city.
As the dark shadow approached the woods near the Temple of the Matchmaker, it stopped, opened its mouth, and made a peculiar bird call. Immediately, there was a response from the woods. In a few breaths, the dark shadow dashed into the woods, where a thin, tall man dressed for nighttime stood silently.
The later dark shadow was also well-built, but a little shorter than the man in front. Stepping forward, he paid his respects, "My humble servant, Er Yue Shi Er, greets Lord Jingzhe."
