Yuan Buyu exclaimed in surprise, his wrinkled face contorting into a puzzled expression.
Zhou Xuan glanced at the folded fan that had opened by the incense burner and the gavel that had moved, and asked Yuan Buyu, "Lao Yuan, have I achieved Divine Revelation already?"
"Just wait a moment."
Yuan Buyu walked over to Zhou Lingyi, who was standing under the umbrella as a spectator, and said, "Class Leader, beware of eavesdroppers."
Zhou Lingyi smiled and replied, "There's no one in the outer courtyard's sandpit."
To avoid delaying Zhou Xuan from offering incense, Zhou Lingyi had already asked five senior brothers to clear the area beforehand and then dismissed them,
ensuring there was no one else in both the outer and inner courtyards.
"Still, better be careful. I, Lao Yuan, have suffered enough from carelessness," Yuan Buyu reminded.
Zhou Lingyi agreed. She untied the cow bell from her waist and shook it towards the Ancestor Tree.
