In the dark Imperial Prison, the sounds of interrogation from Pipa Hall had long ceased. Jiao Tu hurriedly locked Chen Ji in the cell next to Mr. Feng and rushed off to "solve the case."

Mr. Feng stood by the iron bars, smiling through the wall, and said, "Jiao Tu deliberately brought Xuan Snake and Treasure Monkey to be your enemies. She was worried you all wouldn’t become rivals; she even fanned Hai Dongqing, under Xuan Snake’s command, for your sake just now. Although she wanted to interrogate you, once Hai Dongqing sees there are no torture marks on you, she will understand everything and might take you as Jiao Tu’s informant... Be careful, she’s more cunning than Yun Yang."

Chen Ji leaned against the iron bars and said, "Too bad Jiao Tu and Yun Yang aren’t like Mr. Feng. They only see what’s in front of them and can’t think that far. When no one can solve the case, she’ll happily go to solve it and take credit, drawing attention from Xuan Snake and Treasure Monkey."

Mr. Feng said with interest, "Want to be the one holding the chess piece?"

Chen Ji replied earnestly, "I’m learning."

Mr. Feng asked, "Since you went through the trouble to get in, tell me, what do you want to ask?"

Chen Ji sat at the base of the wall of the cell next to Mr. Feng’s, adjusting to a more comfortable position, and Mr. Feng slowly sat down as well.

The two sat as if back to back, separated by a wall, with nothing else around them.

Chen Ji asked with a firm voice, "Under Bai Long’s mask, how many people are there?"
