"They have arrived." Bai Jing told Lin Ze when he saw the fast horses approaching from afar while he stood above the tree.

"It is about time that they come." Lin Ze muttered as he turned to look at the Huichen approaching. He looked at the traces that Qiu Si and the other Huichen members left last night.

"Second young master… ah, no, it is 'officer Lin' – " a Huichen member, the one at the lead, spoke when he saw Lin Ze. " – and sir Bai Jing." He added as he looked at Bai Jing.

Bai Jing nodded at him. "Addressing me in just my name is fine." He told them.

"Why is it only you?" Lin Ze asked them as he looked around. He didn't see the figure that he was looking for.

"Are you looking for our bos – ehem, Qiu Ling?" the Huichen member asked.

Lin Ze didn't answer since the answer is obvious.

"He stayed behind since our boss found out something." The Huichen member carelessly said.
