Bing Hongcai and Ah Liu stood still where they were until that brief and fierce exchange had ended; they had not revealed their identities, nor had they even so much as moved.
Wang Anfeng and Fei Poyue walked into the courtyard.
Behind them, Yu Jianmu, like a fish hauled out of the water, drenched all over with somewhat unsteady steps, followed them in. As he was about to enter, with curiosity and caution, he glanced up at Bing Hongcai, who had not concealed his presence due to the shock in his heart. Only then did he quicken his pace and catch up.
Bing Hongcai still didn't move.
He clenched his teeth hard, staring intently at the street where Wang Anfeng and the other had dueled.
But if one looked closely, his eyes had no focus at all, as if he were in a coma.
