The alley filled with Jiefan Guard and spies, the sounds of firefighting, horse hooves, and curses were chaotic as they drove away the onlooking citizens.
On the roof in the alley, Mrs. Lu remained unmoved by the sounds outside, like a patient owl.
Under the gray tiles, the main house was quiet except for the constantly engulfing flames and the smoke blowing chaotically. The people inside seemed to have guessed that someone was ambushed outside, reluctant to come out.
Two Seeking Dao Realm Executive Officers knew that once they fought, it would be life or death.
So they competed in patience, cunning, and courage, calculating everything that could be calculated.
Chen Ji stood guard in the alley, staring unblinkingly at the door of the main house, while the woman who had been shocked back by Mrs. Lu earlier slowly came to, knelt again, and silently kowtowed to Chen Ji.
Three silent people, a silent house, silent gray tiles.
