”I really cannot understand you…” A voice behind him coldly said, ”You wasted so much effort just to enter the Imperial Palace… With our abilities, who could stop us fro in?”
A huge and obese figure appeared behind him That person was Sky
The medical officer turned around and coldly looked at him ”Do you think everyone is the sa domains… Hmph, if it was not because you learned the 'Blood Escape' technique from the vampire, do you think you could secretly come in here? Besides that, I cannot learn that technique I do not have a strong domain”
He glanced at Sky and coldly continued, ”I knohat you wish to say You wish to say so like 'With your ability, ould dare stop you if you really want to coht? Or you wanted to say that 'I, Master Sky, never like to sneak around!' Aht?”
Sky became embarrassed and asked, ”How did you know?”
Crewe spat and said, ”What else can you think of in that head of yours? Let et in here because we are lucky Today, that Elder shi+re did not use the see-through spell to look at you Otherwise, do you think that the 'Blood Escape' you learned in the past few days could easily hide you from others? Did you think you have mastered the vampires' 'Blood Escape' in just a few days? Besides that, if we got spotted, this entire thing would be a failure! You only kno to use your fist When will you learn how to use your head as well?”
Sky angrily said, ”Stop talking nonsense We have already entered What do you want to do? I heard that it is very busy at the square Rather than looking at this half-dead E outside!”
Crewe laughed and said, ”Look, this is the difference I use er than ht now, you have to listen to ht now, you uard this place No matter who tries to come in, you must stop them Also, you cannot reveal yourself”
”Why?”
Crewe gave a supercilious expression and said, ”I obviously cannot be disturbed when I aed in my practice Moreover, if someone were to see this, our plan would fail!”
”Fine!” Sky replied resentfully ”If someone comes in, I will cut off his head and throw it out of the Imperial Palace!”
