The cave was pitch dark. From Zheng Nianru's direction, only a small hole obscured by bushes was visible, some of which had already been trampled and broken.
The faint sound was indeed coming from a cave behind those low bushes.
Zheng Nianru's expression also turned solemn. The sound sounded like a moan, as if someone was crying out, so she pulled Miss Xing Yu over.
"Go find Ho Sheng, and have him come here. I'll watch from here," she instructed.
"Commandery Princess, this is not a good idea. What if...?" Miss Xing Yu disagreed, fearing the danger that might befall the Commandery Princess.
"Do you expect me to shout?" Zheng Nianru certainly did not want to leave. As long as she stayed quiet, the others should not notice her.
Miss Xing Yu was still hesitant. Zheng Nianru pushed her out forcefully, not having the time for her indecisiveness. Miss Xing Yu, anxious, stomped her foot and turned to go.
