Looking at the waterproof pouch that had not been disturbed, Li Guanyi could hardly contain his urge to tear it open immediately.
However, he managed to remain calm and restrained enough to dismantle it, stuffing the scroll into the gaps between his armor and clothing, placing the potion into a water pouch that he hung at his waist, and throwing the pouch containing the stone into the well. Once he completed all this, Li Guanyi paused for a moment, relieved himself as usual, and then returned.
His timing was just right, and no one else found it suspicious.
Afterward, he only discussed martial arts with Ye Buyi.
However, when he was about to leave, Li Guanyi encountered Situ Deqing once more.
This person, who went by the alias Si Qing, was the number ten assassin in the world, hiding in the Library Pavilion of the palace, still dressed in his customary dark green official robes. He habitually bent slightly at the waist and, upon seeing Li Guanyi, took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Ah, it's Lord Li. I didn't expect to see you here."
The other martial merit disciples had also visited the Library Pavilion due to their fathers or brothers.
Thus, they recognized this guardian of the Library Pavilion.
