The exquisite corner building blocked half of the new moon, casting a faint moonlight inside and outside the high walls, spreading a hazy white glow.
A quiet, long, green willow shaded street alley, blew with a gently cool breeze.
In the corner, by the three-meter high white wall.
Two little girls in night clothes looked at each other.
Huanhuan and Ye Zhi had been learning martial arts from Mr. Qian Wei for several months, this was more easily anticipated.
Even in night clothes, the delicate female figure was clearly visible, anyone with a bit of discernment would think~
Panic-stricken, Huanhuan’s voice naturally carried a slight unnatural tone: "Tonight the moonlight isn’t bright, roughly seeing a vague figure and assuming it’s us is too frivolous. We return to Ye Mansion now, avoiding the public eye, Liu Qingxi’s attempts to slander us won’t be easy, as the saying goes, a tree without bark will surely die, but a person without shame is invincible. You were the one who taught me that."
Ye Zhi let out a soft breath, swallowed, her eyes darting around, her tense expression softened.
Touching her nose, she said, "That’s right, today’s affair was her fault, tonight was a minor punishment, hopefully she’ll avoid provoking me in the future, besides, I know my limits, it wasn’t a heavy hit, so she won’t come close again, making her see I’m a force to be reckoned with, not one to be underestimated."
She didn’t want to act, but Liu Qingxi’s disrespect left her no choice; good people get bullied, good horses get ridden.
She had already warned last time not to come near again, yet today’s matter escalated, so as the Chief of Staff’s daughter, she would tread over her.
Ye Zhi’s usual apricot-cheeked, peach-like face filled with determination.
Huanhuan’s earlier unnaturalness disappeared completely. She pursed her little mouth, her voice slightly wavering: "Ah Zhi, it’s that Liu’s fault, I’m definitely on your side."
Listening to Ah Zhi, surpassed ten lectures by Mr. Qin.
However, she looked up at the three-meter-high white wall before her, confused, "Then how do we climb the wall to get into Ye Mansion? No, how are you going to get in later?"
Despite Huanhuan being young, her Qinggong skills were remarkable. With a nearby willow tree, she clung to it, using her Inner Strength, stepped on a branch and leaped swiftly onto the three-meter-high wall.
A little girl sat on the tiles atop the high wall, took off her black mask, revealing an elegant and lively face.
From high up, she called down to her friend below: "I got up here this way, Ah Zhi, follow my move and jump up."
Uh.
From up high jumping down three or four meters, Ye Zhi says it’s no problem.
But!
The willow tree is two meters away from the wall tiles,
Jumping two meters up using the willow...
Hm, it’s quite pressuring.
Ye Zhi found the mask uncomfortable, pulled it off with one hand, tucked it into her bosom, with a slightly embarrassed smile, a bit of a simple look: "Huanhuan, isn’t it too high? I haven’t learned Inner Strength or Qinggong, I can’t seem to jump up."
She truly couldn’t do it, such a jump would likely result in a fall.
Huanhuan’s legs dangled in the air, rarely seeing Ah Zhi’s simple nature, burst into laughter: "The front and back gates are where you can’t go through, your family doesn’t keep dogs, nor are there any dog holes, what shall we do?"
In the dead of night, all is silent, as a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, it is a perfect time for flower thieves to steal beauty and make mischief.
The quiet, long street alley was stealthily quiet.
