Su Xianyin grabbed the rope and followed the mute up. She walked lightly to his side and lay on the roof. She pointed at the dimly lit courtyard below. The mute nodded, got up, and jumped down.
Li Yu turned to look at Ji Xiang and raised two fingers to gesture at him. Ji Xiang nodded and picked up the crossbow. In the blink of an eye, he saw a man covered in darkness, only revealing a pair of black and shiny eyes. He was standing in the courtyard.
The mute held a slender spike and nimbly flashed behind a pillar on the veranda. He looked at the dim lampstand standing in the corner of the veranda and stuck his head out to check around. Seeing no movement, he took out the bewitching incense and walked to the window of the main room. He blew on the lighter and lit the bewitching incense. He burned the window veil and placed it in the window. After the main room was placed, he went to the other rooms before he hid under the eaves of the porch.
