「The next morning.」
Bai Mo's eyes flew open. He shot up in bed, gasping for air.
He reached up to touch his forehead; it was covered in a cold sweat.
He had been running all night in his dream but still hadn't reached Mi Mountain. 'Is that a good thing or a bad thing?'
As he walked out of his room, Ah Er stirred awake at the sound.
Bai Mo asked directly.
"Did I make any noise last night?"
Ah Er grunted.
He shook his head.
Honey badgers are nocturnal, so Ah Er was a light sleeper at night, always hovering in a state between sleep and wakefulness.
Bai Mo trusted his word.
'It seems unlikely that the prisoner is behind this...'
After a long moment of thought, Bai Mo crushed Li Wuji's Jade Talisman.
About six hours later, Li Wuji arrived and knocked on the door.
He was in high spirits, a faint aura of vigorous blood-qi rising from his body. He had likely been forced to exit his seclusion when Bai Mo interrupted his cultivation.
"Senior Brother, are you all right?"
