Ji Xinhe didn't have time to react, he silently took action, and when he hugged her waist and flew up, she attempted to resist, he simply made a gesture of silence.

At least he's helping her climb over the wall, it's okay for him to hold her for a while, but what does it mean for him to still be holding her after they've climbed over?
Ji Xinhe grinds her teeth as she prys his hand off her waist and lowers her voice. "Aren't you letting go yet?"
Marquis Mu Houchu whispered, "The mansion is full of guards, it's hard to move, we have to go over the roofs."
"I can walk on the rooftops myself!" Having been an assassin in her previous life, she's traversed even buildings of dozens of floors high, so why would she be intimidated by rooftops?
