Time ticked.
Nan Hua casually walked around the area and bought some buns for her to fill her stomach. She didn't look that much different from any other ordinary youth with her makeup and outfit. However, her gaze didn't really leave the palace as she took a seat on nearby teashop.
'The wall is too high for ordinary martial artist to breach.'
This was one of the uniqueness of the palace. It was built with several layer of protection that would not allow intruder to get inside easily. Otherwise, how could they possibly guarantee the safety of the people inside?
Nan Hua watched the group motionlessly before moving towards the back area of the palace. This place might have high wall, but there was a small forest where they could take advantage of the trees. It was easier to sneak inside through this method, but they would also land in the area filled with guards.
It would turn into another night filled with battle.
*rustle*
The bushes moved and the face of a white fox appeared. Nan Hua looked at it for a moment as she wondered what in the world Lin Yuan did in this area. The only person she knew who kept white fox as pet was Lin Yuan and the others were several noble ladies.
"F***! Bai Lan, where are you."
The fox cooed for a bit before moving forward. It naturally recognized Nan Hua's scent because Nan Hua had stayed in Long Qian Xing's Residence a few times. Her smell lingered there and Lin Yuan had taught it that those who were close to him and his friends were all good people.
Nan Hua bent down and lightly brushed her finger across the fox's head. The fur was soft.
"Go back to your owner."
The fox looked at Nan Hua as its tail bristled a bit before turning around. It jumped across the area and soon, Nan Hua could hear the voice of Lin Yuan yelling in delight.
"Bai Lan! Here you are! Didn't I tell you that you're not allowed to leave my side?"
"You say that Bai Lan will be useful?"
That indifferent voice…Long Qian Xing.
"I say that if there's any enemy, Bai Lan will definitely be able to detect them." Lin Yuan's voice sounded dissatisfied. "Are you thinking that Bai Yan will be able to attack them with her small claws?"
Long Qian Xing passed a mocking gaze towards Lin Yun, not caring about what the young man would think. He only agreed to bring Lin Yuan here because this young man could not stop talking about how much he wanted to see the action in the first person's sight.
Lin Yuan even bragged that Bai Lan would be very useful.
Looking at the way it looked like, the fox was only good as Lin Yuan's pet and not as tracking fox. Besides, Long Qian Xing never thought of relying on the fox to be able to detect the enemies coming to the palace.
"You're finally back to the Capital City. Are you done with your traveling?"
"More or less." Lin Yuan grinned. "I gained free access to Zhang Xu Kingdom, so I can head there anytime I want now. There's no need to sneak around and deal with so many troublesome people."
"Good."
Lin Yuan was speechless.
"Is that the only praise you have for me?"
Long Qian Xing didn't answer and Lin Yuan felt that his friend was really very stingy. They hadn't seen each other for months but the other party didn't even praise him for the hard work he had done. It was not easy to get this pass, alright? He had to cozy up to so many annoying nobles.
It was all painstaking effort, alright? freёwebnovel.com
