A Thought

"I was wrong?" Patriarch Guo was taken aback and found himself unable to react.

"Mm, you're wrong. Even though the smell of blood was intense that night, not a single ferocious beast approached. The later part of the night was peaceful. Everyone slept through the night."

"That's impossible."

Patriarch Guo stood up and then spoke with his hands clasped behind his back. "Not just at night, but even during the day, the strong stench of blood in such a location will attract ferocious beasts. You all spent the entire night there. How is it possible that no ferocious beasts approached you? It doesn't make sense."

Patriarch Guo spoke as he walked around the courtyard and stomped his feet. He looked back at Guo Xinning as if he had just thought of something and asked, "Did you send someone to patrol that night? Who kept watch during the night?"
