The night had lifted, and daylight had arrived, but Ning Fan had not slept a wink all night.
After discovering that there were others surveilling the villa last night, Ning Fan stayed up as a precaution, meditating in the living room the whole night.
Ning Fan hadn't recognized the person in black; last night, Long Zhixin hadn't engaged Ning Fan directly but had been constantly on the run.
The fact that the other party could utter 'Ninth Master' indicated they definitely knew him. Hit by his Silver Needle, it was uncertain whether that person was dead or alive, so, just to be safe, Ning Fan hadn't slept all night.
It was already light out, and Xu Ruolan had woken up early as well. She came downstairs and saw Ning Fan standing in the living room.
"Did you stay up all night?"
In the middle of the night, Xu Ruolan had noticed Ning Fan returning alone from outside, then staying quietly in the living room ever since.
