Hua Manman knocked out a palace maid, changed into her clothes, then climbed over a wall to escape Yufu Palace.
Everything went very smoothly.
Hua Manman was emboldened.
She planned to leave the Imperial Palace in one go.
However, she had only taken two steps when she heard the sound of footsteps.
Startled, she immediately used her Qinggong and leaped into a large nearby tree.
She used the cover of the branches and leaves to hide herself.
A squad of Yulin Guards emerged from the corner ahead, striding purposefully in her direction.
They chatted idly as they walked.
"Boss, I heard the Saint just passed away. Shouldn't we be heading to Hanzhang Hall right now? Why are we still patrolling everywhere?"
