Secret Signal

Everyone had forgotten Lou Lan.

Zu Yan had initially paid no attention to Lou Lan. Additionally, he had been provoked by Ai Hui, and while fighting, he had naturally neglected a useless sand puppet. Ai Hui was in a highly strained state and was completely relying on his instincts and wealth of experience to dodge. He, too, had no time to spare for Lou Lan. The members of the audience were enthralled by Zu Yan’s dazzling and sharp moves and were staring, full of shock, at the stage. How could they possibly remember that clumsy sand puppet?

All this while, Lou Lan was standing in a corner, watching Ai Hui dart around the stage. He pondered expressionlessly over the possible ways he could assist Ai Hui.

He had completely recovered from his initial nervousness, but alas, it was now of no use.
