บท 257: Chapter 240: The Woman Carrying a Lantern (Part 3) (4000 words)_2

```

The Lantern Woman gave a slight start and nodded, "Mm, I should go check it out."

"I'll go with you, but it seems closer to go through the ditch here."

With those words, Yan Junze was the first to jump down into the ditch and walk forward.

The Lantern Woman didn't hesitate, following him down into the ditch and closely trailing behind Yan Junze.

"Damn, that guy led the Lantern Woman into the ditch, is he coming this way?"

In the room of Mo Zhengping's ancestral house, Zhang Xiaomo, Zhang Di, Fang Zun, and Yuan Dingzhou were squeezed together, all crowding at the window facing the direction of Plum Blossom Forest and peering out.

The fog was much thinner tonight, and the moonlight ample, resulting in excellent visibility.

They had just witnessed the Lantern Woman walking out of the ditch and then encountering a man, after which the two of them disappeared into Plum Blossom Forest.
