After securing that Hei Gou would not leave his suite, Xue Wei returned to his own chambers where he started cultivating.
He had purchased three masks, which left their pursuers guessing at when and if Xue Wei and his friends were exiting Cloudsoar City. They could not help but curse at him.
If they each wore a mask and blended into the crowd, it would be impossible for the pursuers to locate their targets. Only Bai Tianyi was easily noticeable because of his tiny size, so the three great sects had their men pursue every single child that exited the hotel.
To their annoyance, none of these children were Bai Tianyi. They were instead message boys that worked for the hotel to deliver messages on behalf of the patrons.
This really made them all wonder whether or not Xue Wei had bought the masks to mislead them, or if he had something planned. In the end, the pursuers were incapable of seeing even the slightest shadow of Xue Wei and his companions.
