"Xiaofan, do you mean that someone might be watching us?"

Gu Jianghai’s mouth opened wide, a look of panic in his eyes.

"No, it can’t be, right?"

Someone nearby said instinctively, with a clearly uncertain tone.

Although it wasn’t their first time to the Song Family Castle, it was the first time they drew so much attention.

Everything went smoothly on the way there, but who could say for sure whether there would be danger on the way back?

"It’s possible."

Chen Fan frowned and said, "First of all, the people from Zhao Family Castle know our identities and might have been waiting for us outside. Besides them, we can’t rule out others, like bandits, waiting for us to come out."

"Bandits?"

A chill ran down everyone’s spine.

The area around Song Family Castle was known to have bandits. It’s said that someone once saw those bandits kill people. If that person hadn’t discovered them early, he probably wouldn’t have been able to escape once they spotted him.

"Yes, Dad, Uncle Gu, do you remember what that old man said when I bought those Martial Arts Secret Manuals?"

Chen Guodong’s pupils contracted sharply. "I remember, he said the bandits specifically target groups of about ten to twenty people and warned us to be careful."

"Exactly."

Chen Fan nodded and took out a telescope, "That’s why I bought this. I’ll go out first to check. It might take some time. Once I’m sure it’s safe, everyone else can come out."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Chen Fan was always thoughtful, even buying a telescope in advance.

If someone was indeed watching them, they wouldn’t be too far from the entrance.

Of course, they couldn’t rule out the possibility that someone might blend into the crowd and pass on information once they left. If they were bandits, it would be easy for them to catch up.

"Chen Fan, I’ll go with you."

Gu Ze spoke up.

"You?"

Chen Fan was slightly stunned.

That was a bit unexpected.

"Yes," Gu Ze looked around briefly before nodding, "If you go out alone and encounter danger, I can help. Also, it means there’ll be an extra pair of eyes."

His words immediately won everyone’s approval.

"Xiaozhe’s right. Xiaofan, I think you should let him go with you."

Gu Jianghai spoke first.

They had sought refuge with Chen Guodong, who treated them sincerely, so they must also contribute.

"Indeed, two pairs of eyes can spot more details and they can look out for each other in case of danger."

"Xiaofan, let Gu Ze go with you."

Chen Guodong also agreed.

He was already a bit uneasy, thinking of going along himself.

Now that Gu Ze volunteered, it was even better. Both of them were skilled archers and had better eyesight than most.

Seeing this, Chen Fan could only smile wryly, "Alright, let’s go together."

He wasn’t sure if Meng Yu’s prediction would come true, or if the bandits were indeed watching. Taking Gu Ze along wouldn’t make much difference.

"Here, take this."

He handed a red Asura Mask to Gu Ze and put on a black one himself, "Just in case."

"Okay."

Gu Ze took it and put it on, suddenly realizing everything.

Chen Fan had thought this all through.

Even if there were informants among the bandits, they couldn’t relay the message if they saw the two of them wearing masks, unless they had some special channel.

The two of them headed toward the exit.

Chen Guodong and the others watched nervously.

"Let’s hope nothing happens."

"Yes, it would be great if we could return safely."

Everyone murmured.

After handing their pass to the man at the gate, under his slightly surprised gaze, the two walked out of the Song Family Castle, immediately sensing an uneasy atmosphere.

"Chen Fan, are you sure those bandits are watching us?"

Gu Ze asked in a low voice.

"Not sure."

Chen Fan shook his head and scanned the surroundings, "Too many people here, let’s find a less crowded place."

"Alright."

Gu Ze gripped his bow and arrow tightly, scanning the area with his eyes.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, at least not at first glance.

But a kilometer or two away, someone was watching them through a telescope. Chen Fan and Gu Ze’s figures fell right into the lens.

"Boss, two people have come out, both wearing masks."

"Damn, those masks are creepy."

Someone next to him said while looking.

"Yes, I see them."

The bald man squinted and watched them for a moment before saying, "Ignore those two, just keep an eye on the main group. It’s been a while, they should be coming out any moment now."

"Got it."

The other two with telescopes replied simultaneously.

In front of Song Family Castle, Gu Ze glanced at where Zhao Family Castle’s truck was parked, now empty.

"It seems the Zhao Family Castle people left long ago."

He whispered.

"Probably."

Chen Fan glanced over. Even if the Zhao Family Castle people were waiting on the road, he wasn’t worried since they had no horses.

Even if they drove a truck towards them, bursting a tire with an arrow would stop them.

But the bandits were different, well-equipped, numerous, and skilled in mounted archery, making them much more troublesome.
