Everyone was downstairs now, the perfect moment to make a move.
Just as Jiangli was about to vault through the window, he suddenly sensed a familiar presence and then someone knocked on the bathroom door.
The knocking was soft, hesitant, as if afraid of being discovered.
Jiangli knew who was outside. He sauntered over nonchalantly, opened the door, and saw Xia Xin standing there.
Xia Xin was peering around like a thief before his eyes lit up upon seeing Jiangli. "Ancestor!" he exclaimed.
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing here?"
"I... Well, Ancestor, aren't you going after Master Mu? I came to lend you a hand!" Xia Xin said with a hearty laugh, clearly enthusiastic.
He wanted to learn more from Jiangli.
"You're no match for Master Mu," Jiangli said unsparingly.
Xia Xin's smile instantly froze.
But Jiangli swiftly changed tack, "However, if you want to follow, then follow."
