A moment later, the small lantern inside flickered on, casting a soft glow against the fabric before going dark as she settled down for the night.
Yin Jiuqi watched Qiao Meixia's tent for a brief moment longer before finally standing up.
"Wake me up precisely at 2 a.m. We will launch the search for the item then." Yin Jiuqi instructed Yang Yin Chen softly, keeping his tone extremely low so that no one in the nearby tents could overhear.
"Understood, my lord." Yang Yin Chen nodded respectfully.
Yin Jiuqi then walked over to his own tent to turn in.
It was only 10 p.m., which meant they still possessed a three-hour window to rest before getting up to commence their clandestine search operation.
According to the intelligence reports they had acquired, the target item was buried somewhere near the summit of the mountain, right within the general clearing where hikers typically gathered and set up camp.
