Upon leaving Daxiangguo Temple, the outside was pitch black and they could only rely on the faint moonlight to find their way.
"Follow me," Xiao Niqiu said to Xuemei, quickly descending the stone steps at the entrance.
Xuemei struggled to see the path, taking small, careful steps, afraid of stepping on something.
The wind outside was really strong, causing their ears to ache. Xuemei hadn't dressed warmly, just wearing a thin jacket, and she was shivering with cold.
"Here, put this on first, and give it back to me when we get there."
Facing Xiao Niqiu's kindness, Xuemei quickly shook her head, instinctively glancing around, for the shadow guards were following her.
Even if she couldn't see them, it didn't mean they weren't there. If these shadow guards gossiped, would she even survive?
"I'm not cold," she said, striding forward.
"Hey!" Xiao Niqiu was startled and whispered, "The Regent King's Mansion isn't that way, right?"
