I wanted to persuade him further, but seeing Luo Tianhe's insistence, I could only reluctantly agree.
...
The next day, Jinye and I hid behind a secluded stall in a corner of the market, keeping a close eye on Luo Tianhe.
Luo Tianhe adjusted his state, deliberately slowed his pace, and walked unsteadily toward Old Zhao's stall, each step as if he had used up all his strength.
Just as Master Jin said, the moment Old Man Zhao saw Luo Tianhe, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Like a hungry wolf seeing its long-uneaten prey, its eyes reveal an impatient longing.
Because they were too far apart, I had no idea what they were talking about.
However, I noticed that Old Zhao's gaze remained fixed on Luo Tianhe, and his face still wore that seemingly honest smile.
As he answered Luo Tianhe's question, he subtly leaned forward, as if wanting to feel the yang energy emanating from Luo Tianhe more closely.
I hid in the shadows, staring intently at Old Man Zhao and Luo Tianhe.
When he saw Old Zhao answering Luo Tianhe's questions while subtly leaning forward, his heart jumped into his throat, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.
"Don't act impulsively."
Jin patted my hand: "Nothing will happen. Xiao Luo knows what's going on. If we rush out now, it will only make things worse."
Just as Master Jin had said, Luo Tianhe lingered for a short while before turning and leaving.
The moment he turned around, I clearly saw Old Zhao's eyes following him intently.
His eyes were filled with longing, and he even unconsciously licked his lips.
It was as if Luo Tianhe was a delicious meal he was about to devour.
But soon, Old Zhao returned to normal and continued to serve other customers.
"It's done!"
Jin slapped his thigh and said with certainty, "If we wander around for another two days, Old Zhao will not be able to resist making a move. He is already drooling over Luo Tianhe's yang energy, and this desire will gradually consume his reason!"
I still felt it was too risky, so I suggested we just arrest him and interrogate him.
"Are you going to catch it or should I?"
Jin glared at me: "I'm almost crippled, and you still want me to risk my life? If it were that easy to catch him, would you need to tell me? We can only use strategy, and subdue him when he lowers his guard, okay?"
In the following days, Luo Tianhe followed Jin Ye's instructions and went to Old Zhao's stall every day.
Old Zhao noticed that Luo Tianhe's reaction was becoming increasingly strange, and the greed in his eyes was becoming more and more obvious.
Every time Luo Tianhe left, his gaze would follow closely, as if he wished he could devour Luo Tianhe alive immediately.
On the fifth night, when we were going to bed, Jin gave us some special instructions.
"Be alert tonight, don't sleep too soundly."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe and I immediately understood.
It seems that Old Man Zhao might not be able to resist coming to absorb Luo Tianhe's yang energy tonight.
