152 Someone Is Following You (2/2)

”I see!” The Firmament Stone understood and was impressed. Its master had outstanding IQ! Since it found a good owner, its life would be easier in the future.

Gu Xijiu was right, the two men who were following her were indeed the investigators from the Department of Central Intelligence. They were patiently following her until she returned to the General’s residence.

They looked at each other and then one of them began to write down rapidly, ”Gu Xijiu, Qing Gong level three, zero spirit power.”

Another person asked, ”Chief, do we need to go in and check?”

The one who was recording shook his head and said, ”Not necessary, these are sufficient.”

Based on her current martial arts ability, they believed that she could not even travel in and out of the General’s residence secretly, what more of killing Count Le Hua. Therefore, there was no point to waste time on her.

The Sun blazed brightly right above Gu Xijiu's head. She was sitting in her sedan chair, and it was scorching hot. She had received a message from the emperor when she returned home. She was asked to drop by the palace for a brief critical discussion.

The officer who brought the decree urged her to get ready quickly, so she did not even have time to take a sip of water before she was sent to the palace. Although she had interacted with a few princes before, that was her first time visiting the palace.

The layout was quite similar to the Forbidden City. The main difference was that the roof of the Forbidden City was made from glass tiles while the roof of the current palace was covered by the blue tiles made from hawksbill.

”Watch out, Master! I can sense dang...!” The Firmament Stone on her wrist reminded her.

Before it finished talking, a strong wind blew, and a few beams of light shone directly on the sedan chair!
