The director team was at a loss for words.
This was an unexpected turn of events.
The assistant director sighed. “Hahaha, I feel so bad for Gu Yu.”
“Never mind, one who’s fixated on gains ahead are not aware of danger behind,” the director said.
Su Xia opened the piece of paper. The cameraman approached her and zoomed in on the paper in her hand. The words on the paper appeared clearly on the screen.
“What does autumn look like in the north? Is the City Gate as high as the one in the Capital? This is the last chance for me to escape for the sake of myself.”
In a low voice, Su Xia read the first two words of each sentence aloud.
“North…City Gate.”
“Huh?!” the director team was stunned.
This was impossible.
Many of the clues were hidden among the clothes in Luna Alley. However, only one of them consisted of the real clue. Su Xia had randomly picked out an article of clothing from among the pile. How could she have gotten the real clue so easily?
This…
They could have gotten footage of her furtively making her way back to Luna Alley to find the real clue while hiding from the others anxiously.
The director had an ashen expression on his face.
What excellent luck.
She must be a lucky carp fish!
Su Xia realized that there was another line of words on the other side of the note.
“I discovered that my guard…has always been loyal to my brother, the Emperor. Although he has been by my side since I was at a young age, he has always been working for the Emperor.”
Su Xia paused to ponder upon the sentence. She then let out a breath of relief.
Thank God she got rid of Gu Yu just now. If he saw this line of words, she would definitely be done for.
Be it in real life or his character in the show, Gu Yu could not be relied upon.
…She was not being prejudiced toward him.
She looked toward the camera. She then coughed lightly while waving the piece of paper in her hand. “My apologies, Gu Yu,” she said.
She did not look apologetic at all.
“Farewell to you!”
Su Xia waved her hand and smiled radiantly toward the camera. She then ran toward the north, as suggested by the clue.
Not long after, Gu Yu returned with empty hands. Overcome with disbelief, he stood alone in the alley. He instantly realized that he had gotten tricked by Su Xia.
Seething with rage, a sense of failure washed over him. “I really… lost to Su Xia …” he muttered.
The cameraman took a few steps back while trying to resist his laughter. He recorded footage of Gu Yu standing there pitifully. He was the only one in the small alley. The wind continued blowing at the fallen leaves. The area was completely deserted.
The tall and majestic City Gate was located up north. Many soldiers tasked with protecting the city stood below the tall city wall. Su Xia was so immersed in her role that she instinctively covered her face with her sleeve, pretending to cough.
The City Gate was yet to open at this time of the day.
Citizens who wanted to leave the city surrounded the gate. It was a good thing that there were many people. Su Xia felt much more secure at heart.
At this moment, the other five guests appeared all the way behind.
Hu Baichuan waved his hand. “Find Su Xia at once!” he shouted.
Chen Wei glanced at Gu Yu. “Are you sure that you want to join us? Do not regret it later on,” he said.
“I am sure! I am very sure! We must catch Su Xia!” Gu Yu declared loudly.
This person… He had joined the enemy’s camp in a fit of rage.
Su Xia gestured to the cameraman, telling him not to follow her. She then hid herself among the crowd. There were many cameras as the City Gate was a crucial filming location for the escape scene. She was being filmed clearly.
As time gradually ticked by, the sky started to grow dark.
