"En, since we are certain, let's start." Huo Shuang's voice sounded again, "I have to get this thing! It was just a small Dragon Flame Competition. Those fellows were really willing to use such a great treasure as a reward. The legendary jade, they really didn't know anything about it. It was such a pity, but ? "Hum, hum, hum!"

This time, even if he were to say something big, he should be able to understand the seriousness of this situation. It seemed that this Huo Shuang was planning to steal the competition's prize, and judging from his tone, this prize was quite good? He could not allow that to happen!

In his eyes, the prize for this competition had been prepared for him ever since he had gotten the chance to enjoy the change in the heavens. Now, someone was going to steal the treasure, so how could he be willing to do that?

"Xiao San, listen to me, we ?" Huo Shuang's voice had become much softer. He must be narrating a plan. Fan Mu silently rubbed his ear against the wall, hoping he could hear more clearly.

The two people in the room were still discussing how to steal the treasures, but they didn't know that there was a wall in front of them.

"This won't do, I have to go back and discuss this with Susu Lingyun." Hearing that the person in the room had almost explained the plan, Fan Mu's mind started to spin. He thought about it, and decided to go back and talk about it, and immediately prepared to leave, but the light in the room suddenly changed position. The shadow projected on the opposite wall suddenly changed, and before Fan Mu could react, his cat waist was projected onto the opposite wall.

"Who is it!" Xiao San's voice could be heard, as if he had sensed something, and he walked up to the platform in quick steps.

"Crap!" Fan Mu groaned in his heart. Although he knew that a part of his body had been projected onto the wall, he did not dare to move. If that were the case, it would be truly alarming!

Fan Mu silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but his heart was beating like a drum. What should he do now! Feeling Little San's presence getting closer, Fan Mu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. If he had known earlier, he would have stopped moving! But now it was too late to think about it. What was most important was how to escape! Scanning his surroundings, Fan Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. What did it mean to be in a rush for wisdom? This was being in a rush for wisdom! As he thought of this, Fan Mu quickly circulated his elemental energy ?

"Who?!" Xiao San suddenly opened the window and looked under the windowsill. It was dark and he looked at the shadow on the wall, "Big brother, can you help me hold the lamp? Let me see who it is."

"Ok," Huo Shuang answered, followed by the sound of Huo Shuang approaching with the lamp. Hearing this, Fan Mu couldn't help but hold his breath, praying for the Bodhisattva's blessing in his heart.

Xiao San took the light from Huo Shuang's hands and shone it on the window ledge. The light flickered and the plants under the window were densely packed, allowing Xiao San to see everything clearly. The lights that occasionally passed on Fan Mu's body made his heart twitch, but he didn't dare to make any movements. He could only hope that the lights would leave quickly.

"How is it?" Huo Shuang's voice sounded again. Xiao San shook his head, retracting the light, seeing that there was no change on the wall, he said, "It's nothing, I was just too nervous." With that, Xiao San closed one of the windows.

"Phew." Sensing Little San's movements, Fan Mu let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Just as he was about to make a move, he felt the lights shine again. It turned out that the movement just now was just a feint.

This time, Fan Mu didn't dare move an inch as he continued to hide under the windowsill. When the lights in Huo Shuang's room were extinguished, Fan Mu used his elemental energy to put down the vines on his body, but he was a wood elementalist. Fan Mu sighed in his heart, and it was a good thing that his legs were numb just now; otherwise, he would have stood up and retreated.

He didn't want to stay any longer, so he quickly used Ripple Tiny Steps and headed back to his house.

When he returned to his room, Fan Mu did not dare to relax his vigilance. Right now, his eyes were tightly shut, trying to listen for any sounds coming from outside. For a full two hours, there were no sounds coming from outside.

"Hiss." Feeling the numbness on his feet, Fan Mu couldn't help but frown. Dammit, he had kept his movements for too long, and now that his legs couldn't endure the numbness, he raised his hands to massage himself for a while. When he felt that he was slightly better, he tried to move towards the bed.

Lying on the bed, Fan Mu felt a wave of fatigue. The earlier excitement was gone, and the sense of urgency had dissipated, leaving behind only depression and fatigue, but even though he was very sleepy, he could not fall asleep. At this moment, Huo Shuang and Little San's conversation was going round and round in his head, especially regarding their plan to seize the prize.

"No, I have to go discuss it with Lingyun," Fan Mu sat up from the bed. The bed creaked due to his sudden action. Jumping off the bed, Fan Mu ignored his messy clothes and headed for the door.

"Eh, sigh." Fan Mu rushed to the door, and with a crash, he was knocked out of the room. As he stepped out of the room, Fan Mu was awakened by the moonlight, and it was midnight. Sighing, Fan Mu patted his head, "Lingyun and the others must still be sleeping, why don't you tell them tomorrow?"

"No, we still have to go." After some thought, Fan Mu still felt that this matter was too serious, so he lifted his leg and walked towards the door. Just as he was about to step out, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes.

"Who?!" He looked around warily, only to see the bamboo forest outside the door swaying slightly under the moonlight. The bamboo shadows on the ground were mottled like vegetables, and seeing that there were no other movements in the surroundings, Fan Mu was slightly startled, could it be that it was just a bamboo shadow? As if to accommodate Fan Mu's thoughts, another gust of wind blew, and a black shadow once again streaked across Fan Mu's face. This time, Fan Mu was able to see clearly, it was indeed just a bamboo shadow.
