Untouchable Lovers

And little Tuoba, still a child in years, had eyes filled with heartrending precocity. Chu Yu could no longer see the carefree smile on his face. When he initially chose this path as a descendant of the Tuoba clan, she wondered if he now regretted it.

After watching silently for a long time, Chu Yu left the Imperial Palace, changed direction, and slowly headed south.

Spring light, summer days, autumn winds, winter snows, and spring returning—time slowly flowed past before a pair of unchanging eyes. Chu Yu deliberately slowed her journey, stopping and staying, lingering again and again at all the places that had left her with beautiful memories.

From the Northern Dynasty to the Southern Dynasty, she encountered bandits along the way, but as long as she deployed the blue Light Shield, it would scare the highwaymen away as if they had seen a ghost, thus, Chu Yu traveled quite safely.

There were actually not many old acquaintances left in the Southern Dynasty, and for some, Chu Yu didn’t even know where to start looking for them. Returning to the Southern Dynasty was mostly to reminisce about certain places.

Perhaps because he had suffered too much under Liu Ziyue’s tyranny, Liu Yu, who overthrew Liu Ziyue, did not reign as Emperor for many years either. His life came to an end within a few short years, and he passed the throne on to his son.

The city of Jiankang, although she had lived there for only one year, had left her with too many emotions. Before departing, Chu Yu felt she must take one last look, or there would always be some lingering attachment in her heart.

Inside Jiankang City, both the Princess Mansion and Chu Garden had changed owners. Seeing the signs replaced with something different, despite having decided to let go, Chu Yu felt somewhat distraught, feeling as if something that belonged to her had been taken by others.

Wandering inside Jiankang City for most of the day, Chu Yu returned to the outside of Princess Mansion and waited quietly. The current owner of the Princess Mansion seemed to be the abode of some official in the court, but that official seemed to enjoy solitude. Chu Yu stood at the gate for a long time and saw no one coming in or out.

To enter a place, there must be an entrance that allows people to pass through. Though with the help of her bracelet, she could become invisible and defend herself, she wasn’t actually a superhero; she couldn’t scale walls or pass through them directly.

Finally, she saw a sedan chair being carried in through the opened main door. Taking advantage of the dim evening light, Chu Yu quickly activated "Invisibility" and silently followed behind the sedan into the mansion. The Princess Mansion seemed to still maintain the complete view it had when she left, with little change in the architectural layout. Inside the Inner Garden, there were hardly any people. As Chu Yu walked, she saw neither guards nor servants.
