At nightfall, Wufu, having eaten her fill and rested well, headed to Ah Jiu's study.
Upon entering the courtyard, she paused in her tracks, glanced up at the lush locust tree on her right, casually picked up a pebble from the ground, and walked forward nonchalantly.
After taking just two steps, Wufu suddenly turned around, flicked her finger forcefully, sending the pebble flying towards the tree.
The treetop swayed lightly, and Wufu let out a cold laugh, just ready to move forward when a dark figure jumped down in front of her and said, "Miss, that's one of ours."
Wufu raised an eyebrow, glanced at the treetop, said nothing, and turned to leave. The dark figure showed a bitter smile and slipped back into a hidden corner. Before this little girl, they, the Hidden Guards, were truly exposed without a trace.
Ah Jiu was listening to Yi Er report the news when Yuan Ye replied at the door, "Master, the girl is here."
