The night was quiet.
The sound of wind slapping the leaves could be heard occasionally. The temperature was cold but not freezing. Some servants were still awake to do their work, but most of them had already left to the dreamland.
Wei Liuying sat on top of the tree calmly. She leaned on the main branch and closed her eyes, resting. Even though she had been living a life that was not ideal, she was glad that she had learned martial arts. That way, she would be able to protect herself when it was necessary.
Swish!
The faint movement of the wind woke her up. Wei Liuying didn't move from her position, but her eyes were directed to Wei Xiao Hua's quarter as a black shadow sneaked in to that fortress.
'Foolish.'
Inside Wei Xiao Hua's quarter, Wei Xiao Hua was startled awake. She sat down on her bed and looked outside coldly. Her small mouth muttered out, "Lou."
"Yes, Miss."
