Their tug-of-war was naturally noticed by the people watching from a distance.
Xue Liang and the Fifth Prince, Chu Huan, looked over, their thoughts impossible to guess.
Fei Chen, watching from a distance, asked in a low voice,
"Miss Su, is it time for the Master to return to the manor?"
Su Ye nodded.
"Yes, let's head back."
As she spoke, she glanced down at Su Qing's snake tail.
The tail was hidden under his cloak, so nothing seemed amiss at a first glance.
But any real movement would expose it completely.
Just as she was thinking this, Hidden Guards dressed in black appeared and surrounded them.
A long bolt of black cloth was unfurled, blocking the public's view and stretching all the way to a nearby carriage.
Su Ye took in the scene: more than a dozen Hidden Guards stood by, ready for anything.
It was as if they could eliminate any disturbance in an instant.
Su Ye marveled. 'It sure is nice to be rich.'
