Jiang Hai’s qinggong was good, and Yu Wan’s steps were not heavy. The two of them successfully slipped out of the prison. The little snow fox followed eagerly.
Suddenly, Jiang Hai stopped in his tracks. “Wait.”
Yu Wan also paused. The little snow fox did not look where it was going and bumped into Yu Wan’s heel. It was dizzy and its eyes were seeing stars.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Wan asked.
Jiang Hai’s ears twitched. “There’s someone.”
Yu Wan listened attentively. Indeed, there were patrols at both ends of the alley. This was bad.
Yu Wan believed that they could successfully kill their way out with Jiang Hai’s martial arts, but what would happen after they did?
Jiang Hai and Yu Wan thought of the same thing. The two of them exchanged glances. Then, an idea flashed across their minds at the same time and they looked at the high wall at the side.
Even if Jiang Hai had been to the West City before, he could not figure out where he was in the dark. The two of them thought that it was the residence of a rich family, but they did not expect it to be the most heavily guarded City Lord Manor in the Western City.
“It’s too late. Why don’t we hide first?” Yu Wan said.
Jiang Hai nodded. That was the only way.
Jiang Hai used his qinggong to jump onto the wall and reached out to Yu Wan. Yu Wan picked up the little snow fox and grabbed his hand to jump up.
After all, Yu Wan had a soul from another world living in her bones. Holding a hand at the critical moment was nothing to her. She jumped onto the wall and quickly jumped down, leaving Jiang Hai, whose palm was burning, stunned on the spot.
“What are you doing? Come down!” Yu Wan urged.
Jiang Hai’s face turned red. It was also thanks to the darkness of the night that it was not obvious. He quickly flew down, but in that moment of daze just now, the patrolling guards arrived. The guard vaguely saw the corner of his shirt fly into the City Lord Manor.
“Did you see anything?” The sharp-eyed guard frowned. The others shook their heads.
To be cautious, the guard still led his brothers to the wall where they had caught the commotion. He squatted down and was about to discover the footprints on the ground when his companion suddenly shouted, “Who is it!”
It was a green-clothed monk who escaped from prison.
Everyone’s attention was attracted by the monk. They couldn’t care less about this little thief who did not exist and quickly pounced on the monk.

Yu Wan and Jiang Hai naturally did not know about this. The moment the two of them jumped into the manor, they met the maidservant in the manor. Fortunately, they were smart and did not let the maidservant see them.
The two of them could only find another place to hide. After the maidservant left and the patrolling guards were cleared, they climbed over the wall. However, as there were more and more maidservants, it did not seem to be so easy for them to return the way they came. The two of them hid behind the rockery.
Soon, the guards arrived.

Yu Wan whispered, “What manor is this? Why are there so many guards?” Even for rich families like the Bai Manor and the Young Master Manor, there were not so many guards on patrol.
Jiang Hai had a bad feeling because this group of guards did not look like ordinary guards, but trained soldiers. “Oh no, we’ve entered the City Lord Manor!”
Jiang Hai finally realized what kind of tiger’s den they had entered. This was not much more optimistic than the dungeon. The dungeon only had a prison door, and the prison guards were nothing to be afraid of, but the guards in the City Lord Manor were all top-notch experts.
Jiang Hai whispered, “The West City is the Helian family’s fief. The City Lord is a servant of the Helian family. The guards they have are all experts carefully nurtured by the Helian family. Madam, if we can’t avoid it later, I’ll lure them away. You take the Princely Heir and leave first.”
