In a room not far from this dyehouse, a man who had lost his outer robe and whose face resembled Cui Xing lay on the ground, motionless.
Suddenly, a shadow flickered; a piece of clothing was thrown inside. The shadow approached Cui Xing, fed him something, then left the room.
In no time, Cui Xing's body on the ground shuddered a few times, and then he awoke.
"I..." Cui Xing felt a severe ache in his head, "Wasn't I supposed to help the old man get the box? How am I here..."
"Quick, over there, they ran that way." Voices came from outside.
"Not good!" Cui Ye suddenly realized something was wrong.
"..."
Outside the village, Zhuge Rui's hasty escape didn't go unnoticed by the Regent's Mansion. More than ten Inspectors rushed out in pursuit.
Feeling a bit dizzy, Cui Xing put on his robe and took the opportunity to leave the room, pretending nothing happened as he approached Cui Ye.
