Maid Lotus and Ha Chilie were under sudden attacks.
Back then, they had been leading more than 20 trustworthy veterans to catch spies, most of which tried to plead innocence. Three tried to escape but were caught by ambush outside the encampment.
The plan did not go well. Maid Lotus thought that more spies would flee in panic and deliberately caught them in public but it brought little effect. Besides, she had not enough evidence to convict the others.
They were heading for another camp when three veterans ambushed them from behind. One targeted Ha Chilie while the other two surrounded Maid Lotus.
Ha Chilie was the person mainly responsible for this outcome. He was the one who affirmed the credibility of the veterans.
Ha Chilie fell to the ground with a hum but Maid Lotus was not one to be so easily tricked. Even if she had the New Moon Hall disciples following her, she would not let down her guard.
