No More Boasting!

The room in the secret passage was occupied by a woman who was currently asleep. The entrance to the secret passage was right beneath her bed.

Yan Shu infiltrated the courtyard, knocked out the maidservant and the woman inside the room with a palm strike, and then moved the woman to the small bed. She covered her with a blanket before signaling Xiao Jihan.

Xiao Jihan reached under the bed and fumbled for a moment. Then, with a soft click, the entire bed slid slowly to the side, revealing a narrow passage that could accommodate one person at a time. Xiao Jihan and Yan Shu exchanged a glance before descending into the passage, one after the other.

Inside the passage, it was pitch black.

Xiao Jihan conjured a fireball in his hand, casting light into the tunnel.
