The night is getting darker, and the already noisy city is now even more lively. Various sky lanterns rise one after another, gradually drifting into the distance under the influence of the sea breeze, lighting up the dark sea surface.

Compared with the harbor, the city is much cleaner.

After all, the main venue of the Hai Lantern Festival is not in the city, but more in the port.

Yelan sat by the window, legs crossed, with a bowl of warm tea in front of her.

She has been sitting here for half the night, and she has never left here except when she went to the toilet.

The closer it gets to night, the more she can't slack off.

She had a hunch that Bai Luo would definitely cause trouble tonight.

"Lord Yelan."

Wu Pei, dressed as a sedan bearer, knocked on the door and walked into the house at Ye Lan's instruction.

"How's it going?"

Taking a sip of the slightly bitter tea, Ye Lan kept staring at the only room with lights on in the Yanshang Teahouse, and never moved away.

"Except for the Zhidong merchants, most of the foolish people have gone back, but it seems that another force has sneaked into the city."

Wu Pei told Ye Lan exactly what he had learned from his investigation.

"Another force?"

Hearing Wu Pei say that there was another force, Ye Lan took her eyes away from the Yanshang Teahouse for the first time tonight.

The situation tonight was very serious, and this sudden appearance of another force was worthy of her attention.

"Yes, according to Shanghua's investigation, this group of people should be members of the treasure stealing group, and they are not powerful enough to be afraid."

Taking out the crow seal that he "touched" to steal the treasure from those people, Shang Hua explained.

Of course, he didn't just rely on this thing to determine the other party's identity.

Under Ye Lan's instructions, they once investigated all the treasure stealing groups near Liyue. Some of the treasure stealing groups even included their own people.

So he still had some idea of ​​the details of these people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back to report it specifically.

"No... we must not take this situation lightly. Allocate some manpower to watch them. If their target is also Mingxiaodeng... there is no need to be polite to them."

Ye Lan did not despise them because of their status.

Last night, she followed the debt handler who left the Yanshang Tea Room. In addition to investigating Mingxiao Deng's information, this debt handler also had contact with a sneaky guy.

If she remembered correctly, this guy was a member of the treasure stealing group.

Organizations like the Treasure Thieves Group are mostly made up of people who are obsessed with money and lack lessons.

For the sake of money, they do things by any means, and they have a history of cooperating with fools before.

Now Ye Lan has reason to suspect that they have reached some kind of consensus with the Fools.

"yes!"

After bowing, Wu Pei left the room and went to investigate matters related to the treasure thief group.

Yelan, on the other hand, turned her attention again to the Yanshang Teahouse below.

The waiting time was very long, but the people in the room were all professionally trained. They often performed similar squatting tasks under Ye Lan's orders, so no one complained.

The time gradually came to midnight.

Compared with the first day, the Hai Lantern Festival on the second day was no longer so lively. There were only a small number of excited foreigners and some energetic young people still wandering around the port.

This is also the best time to start.

"Um?"

Yelan, who had already changed a pot of tea, just picked up the teacup in her hand and put it down again.

Because she saw a figure quietly opened the window and jumped out of the teahouse on the rocks.

This man was dressed in pitch black, and judging from his body shape... he was almost exactly the same as Bai Luo.

But instead of wearing his usual black windbreaker, he changed into a black robe that almost completely covered him.

Ye Lan frowned slightly and gently tapped the Youqi wrist strap on her wrist.

"Buzz——"

In the night, a flash of blue flashed.

The man in black robe below covered his wrist in slight panic. After looking around for a few times, he fled towards the south of Eat Tiger Rock.

Wen Yuan, who was hiding in another place and watching, made a sign to Ye Lan, which probably meant whether he wanted to follow or not.

Yelan shook her head slightly, took off her Youqi wristband, and looked at the people around her.

"Don't worry, Lord Yelan, just leave it to us."

The woman who was somewhat similar to Ye Lan nodded. After carefully taking the bracelet, she turned it out of the window and led a group of people in the direction where the man in black left just now and touched it.

.

With her hands folded in front of her chest, Ye Lan narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction of the Yanshang Teahouse again.

After parting ways with Bai Luo, she thought about many ways to deal with Bai Luo. In the end, she found that only one method was the most effective.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes.

If you were Bai Luo, what would you do in this situation?

After changing positions, she thought of a possibility.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain.

At least if it were her, she would definitely use this method after making these preparations.

Don't look at the person who just ran to Huyan to eat. He looks very similar to Bai Luo. He even wears a Youqi wristband.

But she had already used it before Bai Luo to remove You Qi's wrist.

The man's unintentional act of revealing his mysterious wrist light just now was more like paralyzing her, making her think that the man who came out was Bai Luo.

But judging from the fact that he fled to Huyan after he came out, this person was most likely Bai Luo to confuse her.

If she guessed correctly, someone would come out of the Yanshang Teahouse again after a while, and this time they would be heading towards the Sea Lantern Festival venue.

The one coming out from behind is definitely Bai Luo!

In order to make Bai Luo not suspicious, she also specially asked her subordinates who were similar in stature to her to follow her with her Youqi wrist collar.

In addition, it also prevents Zhen Bailuo from being the first one to pass.

With this "advance army", we won't be caught off guard.

About half an hour later, there was movement again at the Iwagami Teahouse.

It was the same window, and another person climbed out of it, but this person was wearing the uniform of a debt processor.

Like the previous one, he looked around a few times to make sure there was no one before he got on the main road.

It’s just that his goal is not in the direction of eating Tiger Rock, but the scene of the Hai Lantern Festival.

"Attention, just inform the brothers along the way and note his whereabouts. Don't deliberately follow him."

Before coming here, Ye Lan had learned Bai Luo's tactics and placed many of his subordinates among the merchants along the way.

There is no need to track him at all. As long as he is not invisible, Ye Lan can track his whereabouts at any time.

If he hides his figure... then Yelan can only stay near the Mingxiao Lantern.
