Yuan Ye's guess was correct; Wufu had indeed already gone to bed. However, just as someone landed in front of her window, she opened her eyes and sat up.
At the same time, Purple Jade, who was keeping watch in the outer room, also deftly leaped up from under the bed, pulled out a Short Sword, and in a low voice demanded, "Who's there?"
Wufu had already walked out from the inner room, and upon seeing her, Purple Jade nodded.
"It's me," Ah Jiu's voice came from outside, very low.
Purple Jade was startled and looked towards Wufu.
Wufu, too, was somewhat surprised. She gestured with her hand, and Purple Jade withdrew her cold and sharp aura, opened the window, and sure enough, Ah Jiu was outside.
Purple Jade lit a lamp with the flint and draped a cloak over Wufu's shoulders before retreating into the inner chamber.
