Although the future was unknown, they were safe for the moment, and this put their minds somewhat at ease.
Yet, as they proceeded, they couldn't help feeling apprehensive.
Before long, they came across a crossroads.
Everyone unanimously looked to Lin Wu.
Just as Lin Wu was about to ask which way to go... "..."
Alright then.
Lin Wu had no knowledge of either direction, but since someone had passed before them, she tried to see if she could find any traces left by their predecessors and suggested that they all search together, as this would increase the chances of finding a clue.
And they really did find something!
"Miss Lin, come quick!" Bo Yuting suddenly exclaimed with excitement.
Lin Wu turned her head.
Bo Yuting was squatting in front of a recess in the right wall, pointing to it.
They all gathered around and saw a shallow cross mark etched into the recess with the tip of a knife.
"This is the kind of symbol the Ninth Master usually uses!" Bo Yuting declared.
