At two in the morning, Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden were staking out less than fifty meters from the house where the traitor Mus was held. It's called a stakeout because the two were indeed squatting. There was a cluster of ornamental trees here, but they were only about a meter high, shrouded in shadow. There were patrol personnel on both sides, but by this time, many had become lax, some leaning against the wall, and some simply sitting on the ground dozing off.
"These are all Temple Guardians, right?" Li Yifei transmitted his voice. The Holy Maiden shrugged her shoulders, nodded, and said in a whisper, "Yes, but...you know, it's been many years since anything has happened at headquarters, so these people have all become somewhat lax..."
"Understood!" Li Yifei said, "Should we go inside?"
"Let's wait and see. If someone comes to rescue him, we can hide in the dark and observe, going inside later won't be too late!" the Holy Maiden replied.
