Ten minutes later, Li Yifei returned, having asked three neighboring households, surprisingly receiving an incomprehensible result. Those three households were composed of elderly people who had lived here for decades, yet they all claimed to be unaware of the residents of the courtyard house opposite. It's as if... the other party never lived there, hence they were uninformed. As for how many people lived there, whether they were men or women, it was even more unknown, not to mention whether anyone currently resided there, and so on.
When Li Yifei returned and told Old Master Su, the old man sighed and said, "Alright, try knocking on the door again. If no one answers, we'll go back!"
Li Yifei went to knock on the door again, but the result was the same; there was no response from inside. Li Yifei tried to push the door, but found that it wouldn't budge. Of course, if he applied force, the outcome might be different, but he couldn't just barge in.
