Hua Manman walked swiftly, heading straight for the palace gates.
Along the way, her path was blocked by a squad of Yulin Guards.
The leading Yulin Guard looked her up and down and asked in a deep voice.
"Which palace are you from? Why are you here all alone?"
The System, transformed into a bee and perched on Hua Manman, was extremely nervous. It secretly prepared to transform again; if Hua Manman's identity was exposed, it could immediately intervene to save her.
The next moment, however, it heard Hua Manman speak.
"I serve in Huan Sha Pavilion. I heard the Saint has passed away, and the nanny sent me to the storeroom to get some white linen and pine branches in preparation. This is my waist token."
She took a wooden waist token from her sleeve and presented it with both hands.
The Yulin Guard took the waist token and examined it. The words "Huan Sha Pavilion" were carved on it.
This was a waist token that only those who served in Huan Sha Pavilion could possess.
