"Hey, we need more people in the kitchen!"
"Where are the servants that should have bought the ingredients? Have they returned back?"
"Hurry!"
The situation in the kitchen was chaotic as the servants were having trouble with how the king seemed to order more guards at the entrance. There was simply no way for them to get out of the palace without getting noticed and at the same time, they have to be inspected thoroughly.
"I feel that we're already like prisoners in this state."
"Uh, the King is anxious because it's already time for the geniuses to depart. There's no other reason than that."
As the servants were busy, at one corner, Ye Jiao listened to their conversation carefully. She was paying close attention to what they were saying to make sure that she get more information regarding this place. After all, they did this mission abruptly without any preparation whatsoever beforehand.
