"Brother Lu… looking at your face, it seems like you’ve made some discovery?" Li Shunxi couldn’t resist the urge to ask.
Finding no one after another search, the group assembled under the withered tree in the middle of the courtyard.
Lu Sheng heard the question, but all he did was to survey the surroundings all around him.
They were the only people in the entire pitch-black courtyard. The rooms around them were all empty, without any movement or light in them.
"Someone’s not here yet. Where’s that Miss Gong Rumeng?" He suddenly remarked.
Startled, all of them realized that Gong Rumeng was not in the group. Gong Ruqing, however, was a face of perplexity.
"Isn’t my sister right behind me?" She asked. She had sensed someone following behind her all the way, and had even exchanged a few words with her sister just a few moments ago.
"Are you sure?" Lu Sheng gazed at her.
At this moment, all of them also turned their gaze on to Gong Ruqing.
