Li Chengyi paid no heed to the clamorous so-called old acquaintances; his attention fixed on the three lurking infected individuals in line.
In this location, it certainly wasn't feasible to make a move, but... if they changed the place...
The trio felt uneasy under his gaze, suspecting they had been exposed, yet not daring to confirm it. Up to now, no one had been able to accurately detect the anomalies of the lurking agents.
The three exchanged covert glances and quietly retreated, slipping away from the crowd and out of the courtyard.
"What should we do?"
"We might have been noticed, best to fall back for now."
"I'll go report to Lord Dongfang."
Quickly dividing their tasks, the trio turned and ran towards the city outskirts.
A thought struck Li Chengyi, and he was just about to move forward to investigate when an odd aura flashed, enveloping the three individuals and making them vanish without a trace.
"Hm?"
He frowned slightly.
