Outside was a small alley, with no trace of Nangong Yun's men; they likely hadn't come from this direction.
Guisu had a plan in mind, turned to Baili Xia, and gently said, "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."
Listening to Guisu's renewed confident voice, Baili Xia felt somewhat reassured.
She nodded and sat down in the chair.
...
Every minute and second passed, and after about half an hour, a commotion echoed from outside.
Obviously, someone had entered the courtyard, shouting orders to search.
Baili Xia sprang up from the chair and looked at Guisu.
Guisu furrowed his brow; he went to the window and looked out once more.
Only after confirming no one was there did he open the window.
"Let's go."
At this moment, he dared not take any more risks.
Staying would only mean waiting for death.
Waiting was not his style!
Guisu climbed out of the window first.
After ensuring the surroundings were clear, he beckoned to Baili Xia, indicating for her to come out.
