One second, two seconds... There was no change in the old man's body; only then did Yang Xiao let his guard down, this was a living person.
Putting away the Ghost Lantern, its green light did not disturb the sleeping elder. Before leaving, Yang Xiao turned off the television, and his figure consequently disappeared from the room.
Just over a dozen seconds later, individuals standing outside the window saw the old man's body shiver once before he woke up. The man, in a dazed state, sat up, pushing his disheveled hair to one side. He looked at the TV, confusion etched across his wrinkled elder face, seeming not to understand why the television had been turned off.
People automatically adapt to their surroundings while sound asleep. Once a certain pattern or rhythm is disrupted, it's easy to wake up abruptly. The old man's reaction was very genuine.
