After Su Que skimmed over the heads of a group of guards, he darted across the rooftop.
Heading straight towards the depths of the Ximen family mansion.
The residence of the patriarch is usually easy to recognize.
The most luxuriously decorated, or the most spacious and secluded courtyard, is often where the patriarch resides.
Since it was late at night, the vast Ximen family mansion was illuminated by only a few lanterns, swaying in the wind.
The guards patrolling the mansion were listlessly walking back and forth.
As Su Que slipped past them, they only felt a gust of wind but couldn't see Su Que's shadow at all.
Su Que dashed across the roofs, gazing into the distance.
After a while, he saw a serene courtyard built halfway up the mountain.
This courtyard was very different from the others, not only luxuriously decorated but also with a layout subtly reflecting the principles of heaven and earth.
