A silent night.
To Xia Nan's surprise, the adventurer team that unexpectedly arrived at Grey Valley Village, after his silent warning, genuinely refrained from causing any trouble, remaining quiet throughout the night.
However, this did not change his decision.
Having breakfast at Tom's house, he delightedly drank a bowl of hot, sweet, and savory mushroom broth, meticulously adapted to his taste by Lady Janice, and advised young Leon to rest well at home and not wander aimlessly in the forest.
Fully outfitted and armed, Xia Nan left the small house and headed towards the village entrance.
Not rushing into his previous plans, he found a hidden spot with a wide view nearby and waited silently.
Just as anticipated, after waiting among the dense underbrush for more than twenty minutes, the four members of the adventurer team appeared in his line of sight at the village entrance.
