When Xi Jiu Er once visited the Hibiscus Mutabilis at night, she sneaked onto the rooftop to listen for news and accidentally broke a tile, causing everyone in the house to realize. Although they were lucky enough to escape, they didn't dare to touch the Hibiscus Mutabilis in the slightest.

That night, the news that was overheard by the people in the room proved that one of the officials had betrayed and sided with the man. Several people were discussing some secret matters, and Xi Jiu Er did not hear any of their conversation, but from their occasional exclamations and arguments, she vaguely knew that one of them was the person in charge of Dreamy Cloud City.

After a while, they neatly called out a name. Due to the few of them being too cautious, Xi Jiu Er did not hear what the others had said, and through the small cracks, she could vaguely see a touch of yellow clothes, in a blink of an eye.

When she was about to pick up the pieces of limestone, she unconsciously exerted too much force on her subordinates. Although it wasn't loud, it was enough to let everyone in the room know of her existence.

"Who is it?" A clear and straightforward man's voice came out first, quickly rushing out of the door, Xi Jiu Er was startled for a moment, after retracting his thoughts, he immediately used a movement technique and ran towards the brightly lit roof.

Xi Jiu Er had always liked this kind of movement technique since shesheas young, but she didn't really like it when it was used in front of everyone. A few days ago, when she was bored, he suddenly became interested and carefully protected her stomach.

However, he didn't find the time to fully utilize the Qing Gong tonight.

In the courtyard, the man rushed out of the room and quickly flew to the roof. He looked around every nook and cranny, only to find a tile that had been hollowed out at the center. He didn't find any other traces.

The man leaped up from the roof and stood firmly on his feet before hurriedly running out of the room. The window frame revealed the flickering flame of a candle, which imprinted a handsome figure on the window paper.

He only heard the man kneel down towards the figure in reverence, and the emotionless and dull voice drift out of the room. In a hazy voice, a lazy voice sounded out, "Don't worry, you will get up for now, this battle will definitely be the triumphant return of the one sob tribe."

The candle flame grew longer and longer the two of them, gradually turning them into a faint yellow circle of light.

Xi Jiu Er carried her small backpack and shuttled back and forth on top of the roof for a long time. She gradually lost some of her stamina and panted heavily as she squatted on top of a tall building, leaned against a piece of glazed roof and panted a large mouthful of air. Only after she had recovered enough did she get up and looked around in all four directions did after confirming that she had successfully escaped, and then exhaled a long breath of air as she sat on her butt on the roof of the house.

Dreamy Cloud City was a place with an extremely beautiful scenery. As the saying goes, beautiful mountains and beautiful water are beautiful, but humans are! If they went out with Yuan Yu and the people from the Hibiscus Mutabilis, it would probably be considered a beautiful place. Xi Jiu Er was a little afraid of heights.

Out of curiosity, she took a look at the endless flow of pedestrians and the resplendent night market. Her little heart immediately thumped in her chest, and Xi Jiu Er withdrew the posture of leaning forward in fear, while stroking her little heart and shouting, "Fortunately, I didn't go downstairs when I was running just now, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been so scared that I would have fallen down and broken my bones or something like that."

Xi Jiu Er suddenly felt that she had let down the little fellow in her stomach, and actually brought the little fellow out to do such a dangerous thing. Fear filled up her heart, "Baby, mother almost caused you to fall into danger today, it's mother that was inconsiderate, baby don't be angry at mother."

The moonlight was as gentle as water as it hung in the night sky, and a soft, silvery light gently hung down from the ceiling. The silver light lazily spread out to cover the entire floor, and a few rays of it converged onto Xi Jiu Er's face, giving her originally cold face a touch of gentleness and beauty.

The empty courtyard was twice as big as an ordinary house, and there were also all sorts of weapons piled up on the corners. Xi Jiu Er carried the high quality green peak that was brought up to him by the servants, and opened the lid of her cup as she blew away the remnants of the tea floating on the ground. Just as she was about to taste it, there were people walking towards the hall from the corner.

"Prefect, this general will be troubling you." Xi Jiu Er stood up and bowed.

The man who was called the Prefect pretended to be extremely passionate and placed his hand on Xi Jiu Er's to greet him, "General Xuan, please don't do this. I was previously a general under the command of the Wei Guogong, only because I received the wrong love from the Emperor did I manage to get this official position in the Dreamy Cloud City."

Xi Jiu Er removed her hand without leaving a trace, walked to the side of the chair, and pretended to listen to the man's praise towards the emperor, her left ear entering her right ear to look at his left and right boots out of boredom, seeing the bit of dirt on his boots, she was about to bow down and wipe it away, but unfortunately, the man's sigh came from above her head, causing him to go silent.

Xi Jiu Er was very suspicious of why this person did not continue to sing praises. He turned his head to look, and his eyes met the other party's with a smile, "General Xuan, what a great appearance you have?"

The man smiled as he sized Xi Jiu Er up. Xi Jiu Er was stared blankly for a while, then she sat down on a seat furthest away from the man, she did not wear any mask for the past few days, so she was wearing a military uniform today. Her combed long hair was tied up with a rope.

The mask on his face was a delicate and pretty one that he had specially selected. It had no special features and could not be compared to his original face. However, this mask had no special features, but it had one or two points to it.

The man stared at Xi Jiu Er's face, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll for a bit. There was a greedy look in his eyes, and Xi Jiu Er accurately caught hold of that look. She was a little surprised that this man would brazenly reveal his peeping color in front of her.

"Honorable Prefect," Xi Jiu Er's clear and cold voice brought the man back to reality.

"May I ask what is the matter, General?" The man picked up her teacup and took a sip. Her voice was full of excitement.

Xi Jiu Er had already seen through the man's prying eyes, and was slightly angered in her heart, "General, have you seen any abnormalities in the Dreamy Cloud City in the past few days?"
