Zhuque led Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji westward. The scenery along the way was picturesque, but both of them were focused on the town they were about to arrive in. Wei Wuxian chatted with Zhuque as they walked.

"Suzaku, where are you taking us?" Wei Wuxian asked curiously.

The Vermillion Bird chirped crisply, as if in response to his question. Lan Wangji followed quietly beside him, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

As they approached the town, Wei WuXian suddenly thought of something and said, "Suzaku, if you go into the town like this now, the people will definitely think you're a monster."

After hearing what Wei Wuxian said, Zhuque paused for a moment, then a light flashed on his body, and his body shrank directly into the size of a little bird.

Wei WuXian was surprised and asked, "You can still do this?"

Suzaku replied proudly, "How difficult is that!"

With that, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji took the two birds to the town. When they arrived, they noticed something was amiss. It wasn't even night yet, and surprisingly, no one in town was doing business; all doors were closed.

Wei Wuxian frowned and said, "Lan Zhan, it seems something is strange here."

Lan Wangji said, "Be careful."

Wei Wuxian nodded, held Suibian in his hand, and the two of them walked forward carefully.

At this time, Suzaku said: "There is someone in front."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji stopped moving forward, and when they saw who was coming, they exclaimed in surprise, "Yangyang, Junior-Master!"

Xue Yang was very excited when he saw Wei Wuxian. He asked, "Brother Xian, why are you here?"

Wei WuXian said, “Lan Zhan and I were out having fun and ended up here. What brought you here?”

Xiao Xingchen said, "Ayang and I were traveling and passing by this place. We noticed something unusual, so we stopped here. But after several days of exploration, we found nothing."

Wei WuXian asked, “Is there anyone here?”

Xiao Xingchen said, "No one usually goes out at sunset, but some people go out during the day."

Wei WuXian said, “Then we’ll come back tonight. Where do you live now?”

Xue Yang said, "The Taoist priest has cleaned up a room in an inn, and we will stay there."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji exchanged a glance and decided to go to the inn with Xiao Xingchen and the others. Along the way, Wei Wuxian was filled with confusion. What on earth was going on in this small town? Why was no one out at night, yet people were active during the day?

Arriving at the inn, Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen took Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji to their room. Although the room was simple, it was very clean.

Wei Wuxian placed the small, fledgling-looking Vermillion Bird on the table and asked, "Junior-Master, have you found any clues here?"

Xiao Xingchen shook his head and said, "No, the people here seem to be very afraid of something, but when we asked them, they wouldn't say anything."

Wei Wuxian frowned and said, "This is difficult. Lan Zhan, do you have any ideas?"

Lan Wangji was silent for a moment, then said, "We'll see tonight."

Wei WuXian nodded and said, “This is the only way.”

They rested for a while in the inn, waiting for the night to come. As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were a little nervous, not knowing what would happen at night.

Finally, night fell. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji quietly walked out of the inn, followed by Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang.

They walked cautiously down the street and found that there was indeed no one around. There was only one night watchman, but he also looked hurried, as if he was afraid of something.

Wei WuXian stopped the night watchman and asked, "Big Brother, may I ask what's going on here? Why isn't anyone leaving?"

Passersby looked at them in horror and said, "Are you from outside? It's not peaceful here. Monsters appear at night, so no one dares to go out at night."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji exchanged a glance, their confusion growing even greater. A monster? How could there be a monster here?
