Han Li looked up and saw Hui Neng approaching hurriedly with a group of monks, who were even holding sticks in their hands.
Han Li was startled, wondering how these monks could arrive so quickly.
She had originally planned to hide Fang Zhou away secretly, keeping their presence unknown from the monks, but that plan had now fallen through.
Han Li could only feign calmness and said to Hui Neng, "Master Hui Neng, you've arrived just in time, please prepare some hot water; my friend needs to bathe."
However, Hui Neng did not move and instead looked around, relieved to see that only two people had returned.
The reason for their swift arrival was that a monk had seen a golden light shoot into the courtyard and, having been informed earlier, the prepared Hui Neng immediately led people here.
He was worried that if too many people escaped back, and one or two managed to flee, leaking the news would be troublesome.
