It was late at night, and most people were snuggled up asleep, the Lucky Cave silent.
"Something's terribly wrong! Mr. Qi is back!"
A few heart-wrenching screams suddenly exploded overhead in the cave and echoed for a long time, violently shattering the silence.
The crowd was awakened, staring at each other in confusion, not yet comprehending the situation when they saw a frantic guard stumble and fall to the ground, eating a mouthful of dust.
You Su had not been asleep, merely resting with eyes closed, but upon hearing this, his eyes snapped open in shock.
Ji Lingruo was also awakened; she hadn't expected to hear that name again and quickly held onto You Su's arm with her slightly parted lips.
In the crowd, a robust middle-aged man descended from the sky, landed next to the fallen guard, lifted him up with one hand, and shouted angrily:
"What are you shouting about!"
"Mr. Qi is back! Mr. Qi is back!"
"Then why are you saying something's terribly wrong!"
