Chapter 2263: How Long Do You Plan To Watch The Bustling Scene?
The streets were restless with many armed men coming and going at the same time, but none of them paid any attention to the tree by the streets. Certainly, they would not notice Gu Xijiu there even if they looked closely.
Gu Xijiu’s body was hidden by the invisibility spell. Her presence would remain unnoticed unless someone as powerful as Yun Yanli came by. Certainly, they did not think that anyone would have the courage to stay in the city after conducting such a great theft. Even more ludicrously, why would the person choose to stay high up in the trees and watch the search?
The Firmament Stone watched as teams of armed men continued to pass by the tree. "These people did not even bother to look up at the tree." It sighed.
Gu Xijiu turned the bracelet around her wrist as she said, "The closer you stand towards the light, the less you can actually see beyond it. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is usually the safest hideout."
Impressed, the Firmament Stone agreed. "Master, how long do you plan to watch the bustling scene?"
Gu Xijiu leaned against the trunk and said, "A while more." She seemed at ease. Although her Kung Fu had not improved much, her usual temperament slowly returned.
It had been quite some time now that she had stayed on the tree. In fact, all the soldiers were already assigned with a mission, leaving behind a quiet and rather empty place. Then, she saw Yun Yanli leaving the governor’s house. Soon, he disappeared like a trail of smoke into thin air.
Along with him, there were 18 other men with the same green robes. These men obviously possessed great Kung Fu. Their spiritual power was at least at level nine, or more. As they swept by quickly, their disappearance into the air was accompanied by a flurry of wind.
