This move left the people watching behind somewhat puzzled.
Bai Jing asked Lin Wu in a low voice, "What is he holding? Why is he doing that?"
Lin Wu had not intended to keep Bai Jing in the dark and briefly told her Prof. Zhang and Jian Chonghe's words. As for the Lotus Scepter being potentially critical to the mission and needing to be kept secret, with so many eyes around, she did not say it outright but hinted it to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing nodded in understanding.
After Lin Wu finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards the river.
She was not looking at Jian Chonghe's actions but checking if the object she had dug out last time was still there.
To her surprise, it was gone, completely covered by the muddy silt at the bottom of the river, leaving no trace to be seen. If she had not witnessed it with her own eyes before, she would never have thought that there was a passage here that led to Mou Chuan's reclusive spot.
At that moment, exclamations arose from the crowd.
