NOVPUBTheir eastern courtyard was far from the commotion, so there was no immediate threat.
However, it seemed that Xi Lan was indeed dealing with a difficult case, as he had been so busy that they hadn’t seen him for days.
Shen Roujia, on the other hand, enjoyed the peace and quiet, while Liu Ruyi and the others grew increasingly curious about who was staying in the other courtyard.
While Shen Roujia was in her room, she overheard them whispering outside, but the conversation quickly ceased.
“What if the person over there is someone important from the Northern Border? The Divine Doctor’s Valley wouldn’t dare make this public, especially with the ongoing tensions between both sides...”
“Why talk so much? It’s best not to bring trouble upon ourselves.”
Shen Roujia heard Wei Rui cough, and the conversation gradually came to a halt.
Pretending to stroll around for a bit, Shen Roujia then casually stepped outside, stretching as if nothing was amiss.
“When are we leaving?”
Wei Rui shook his head slightly, “We’ll probably need to stay a few more days. We can’t leave before they do, because we don’t know who they are. If we disturb them and cause any unnecessary conflict, it would be troublesome.”
Shen Roujia understood what Wei Rui was concerned about. People from the Northern Border were known for their ruthless tactics, especially those accustomed to battles on the grasslands. If they got entangled in any secrets, it could be even more dangerous.
Shen Roujia nodded knowingly, “It’s fine to wait until they leave. We can treat this as a leisurely outing.”
