Late at night, a crescent moon hung slantwise in the sky, and the earth was silent, as if the whole world had fallen asleep.
At this ti, a shadow appeared on the dim street, moving rapidly on the ground, with incredible speed.
The shadow would pause and look at each house it passed, then continue forward. Just like that, the shadow moved on, stopping and going, quickly crawling across a street and arriving at the War Prince’s Mansion, gazing for a long ti...
Finally, the shadow leaped from the ground, and in a flash, it flew into the War Prince’s Mansion.
Rain Listening Courtyard.
Long Rui had gone out to handle so affairs today and had not yet returned. After practicing martial arts for a few Shichen, Xuexue ca out intending to rest.
"Worm, worm, big worm." Suddenly, Xiao Jiu flew in from outside, chirping noisily.
Xuexue thought Xiao Jiu was hungry and smiled, "Where am I going to find a worm for you in this darkness? You’d better just go to sleep, and catch one by yourself in the morning!"
Xiao Jiu flapped its wings vigorously, fluttering to Xuexue’s face, and screeched, "There is, outside, a really big worm!"
"A worm outside?" Xuexue, in her undergarnt, sat on the bed ready to sleep.
Xiao Jiu: "Yes, a big black worm outside, I really want to eat it."
"If you’re hungry, just go eat it. Why are you telling ? I don’t eat worms." Xuexue laughed out loud.
"Chirp, chirp, can’t catch it, the worm is very fast, swoosh, it disappears."
Xuexue was puzzled and asked, "There’s a worm you can’t catch?"
Xiao Jiu nodded vigorously, its little eyes swirling, "Yes, right outside, a big worm can’t be caught, swoosh, swoosh, it runs very fast."
Xuexue was curious. A bird that can’t catch a worm – is it still a worm? So, she planned to go outside to take a look.
The moonlight tonight was beautiful, a bright moon hung on the horizon, lighting the Mansion as if it were daylight.
Walking around the Mansion, Xuexue saw nothing. Upon encountering the patrolling guards, everyone was curious about why the madam was not resting so late. Could it be that without the Prince, the madam couldn’t sleep either? Everyone speculated.
"Don’t speak carelessly, don’t chew the Master’s tongue, or you might lose your life," the guards whispered, and Long Yi stopped them.
"Understood, Guard Long, we won’t be punished by the Prince like you," a guard said, covering his mouth and chuckling secretly.
Last ti Long Yi made a huge blunder, thinking the Prince had a romantic interest in n, even spreading it on the streets, causing the Prince’s reputation to suffer. Until now, rumors outside still say the War Prince is ambidextrous, charming both genders.
For this, Long Yi was punished by the Prince. Because of this, everyone privately laughed at Long Yi for a long ti. This guy was narcissistic enough to think the Prince fancied him.
"Go, go, get moving." ntioning this, Long Yi was sowhat embarrassed and angry. However, these guards were his life and death brothers, and he didn’t genuinely get angry, just that this matter was too humiliating.
Xuexue searched the whole Mansion but did not find the big worm Xiao Jiu ntioned. As she turned around the garden, ready to go back to rest, suddenly, a shadow flashed before her, startling her.
What was that, moving so fast?
The little Xiao Jiu on Xuexue’s shoulder chirped noisily, "Worm, worm, big worm."
Now, Xuexue understood, the big worm Xiao Jiu spoke of was a person!
