Chapter 253: Infiltrating the Princess Manor

Bai He rubbed his forehead.

His head immediately started to ache.

That was right.

There was still that matter.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized he was not nearly as wealthy as he liked to imagine.

No.

The truth was that he was actually quite poor.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in."

Xu Feng pushed the door open and walked in.

He was dressed entirely in black, and the only thing missing was a cloth covering his face.

He truly had come fully prepared.

Bai He looked him up and down.

"Your outfit..."

"Well, Master? What do you think? Dressed like this, nobody will be able to recognize me, right?"

Bai He stood up, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder.

Then he spoke earnestly.

"Actually, even if you didn’t dress like this, nobody would recognize you. Unless you happen to have acquaintances in Zhongdu City."

That was impossible.

In the original story, Xu Feng had absolutely no connection to Zhongdu City.

Xu Feng scratched his head and fell into thought.

What Bai He said actually made a lot of sense.

After all, nobody here knew him in the first place.

"Alright, it’s about time. Let’s go."

Bai He jumped out of the window first.

Xu Feng immediately followed behind him.

It was dark, and it was already approaching the latter half of the night.

Naturally, there were very few people around.

They easily leaped onto the walls of the Princess Manor.

Soon afterward, they encountered a patrol passing by.

Bai He quickly pulled Xu Feng down and lowered his head.

After the guards had moved past, the two of them jumped into the courtyard.

This place really was...

Huge.

Not only was it enormous, but it was also magnificent and luxurious.

It was completely different from Lingguang Sect.

The Princess Manor was extravagant and ostentatious.

Every corner was exquisitely designed.

Under the moonlight, the white jade dragon pillars standing ahead seemed to glow with a radiant brilliance.

How much money must those be worth?

"Host, don’t forget why you came here. Especially since you’re currently carrying quite a bit of debt."

"Ahem..."

He had merely made an observation.

How could he possibly forget the reason he had come?

A swaying figure approached from the distance.

The man carried a jug of wine in his hand.

As he walked, he drank continuously, spilling more than half of it onto the ground.

When he reached a stone bench, he sat down heavily.

Then he collapsed onto the stone table.

From time to time, strange bursts of laughter escaped him.

In the middle of the night, it was honestly quite frightening.

Bai He and Xu Feng were hiding behind the dragon pillar in front.

They originally thought the drunk man would leave soon.

But who would have thought he had no intention of leaving at all.

He sat there for a long time.

Could it be that he had fallen asleep?

The second group of patrol guards soon arrived.

The drunk man would not notice them, but that did not mean others would not notice them.

Bai He made a gesture.

Xu Feng immediately understood his meaning.

The two of them quickly ran toward a nearby room.

The door of the room was not closed and it was completely dark inside.

There was no one there.

"Young Master, please slow down."

The two of them supported the heavily intoxicated Ye Xingyun as they brought him inside.

They also lit the candles in the room, instantly filling the space with bright light.

Ye Xingyun who is half drunk and half asleep slowly opened his hazy eyes.

"Someone, someone..."

"Young Master, whatever you need, just tell us."

"Get lost. I don’t want to see any of you. All of you ungrateful traitors. When you saw Ye Shiyuan return, you went to curry favor with him. I will kill you all. I will kill every single one of you."

People always say that drunk words cannot be taken seriously.

Moreover, after saying that, Ye Xingyun immediately fell asleep.

After the two of them helped him onto the bed, they extinguished the lights and left his room.

Bai He let out a sigh of relief.

He never would have guessed that this place was actually Ye Xingyun’s room.

No wonder it was so luxurious.

Even though it was dark, Bai He still looked around.

Now that he was here, everything looked extremely valuable.

It reminded him again of his debt.

Ye Xingyun was already so drunk that Bai He did not worry about him suddenly waking up.

"Master, let’s leave first."

"Mm."

Bai He and Xu Feng were already preparing to sneak away quietly.

But they suddenly saw the man who had been lying down sit up.

Then he slowly walked toward Bai He.

Bai He cautiously raised his head.

So he had been discovered?

"Host, Ye Xingyun has a sleepwalking condition. You have not been discovered. However, when he sleepwalks, he can do anything. He might even kill people. But you can rest assured, once he wakes up, he will only treat everything as a dream and will not take it seriously."

"Fairy sister."

Ye Xingyun suddenly grabbed Bai He’s arm and showed an infatuated expression.

"Fairy sister."

What fairy sister? Was he calling him?

Bai He really could not afford such a title.

He tried to pull his arm back, but he could not.

The grip was too strong.

Xu Feng struck quickly at his neck with a sharp hand chop.

Ye Xingyun finally collapsed.

"Master, don’t delay. It will be daylight soon."

They did not have time to waste on this drunk man.

Bai He kicked away Ye Xingyun, who had been knocked unconscious, and then opened the door and ran out.

"Mo Zhu, hurry up. Tell me where Ye Shiyuan is now."

The Princess Manor was so large.

Where was he supposed to find him?

And he also could not afford to be discovered.

"Host, I just probed part of Ye Xingyun’s memories. I will immediately transmit the exact location of Qing Haoyi to you."

"That way."
