The tall and thin man left the Great Courtyard and headed straight for a car.
Soon, the car started and drove away.
Stirred, Xiao Mu instantly created a duplicate and flew in the direction the car had taken off, then flapped his wings to land, transforming into the tall thin man's appearance, and returned the same way he came.
"Mr. Qi, why have you come back?"
As Xiao Mu returned the same way, he feigned panic and ran towards the entrance of the courtyard. One of the two gatekeepers approached him and greeted him.
"I forgot the keys at home," Xiao Mu rasped, adjusting his voice to avoid being recognized.
"Please come in!"
The short, plump gatekeeper eagerly gestured for Xiao Mu to enter the courtyard.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Mu rasped a thank you and stepped in with big strides.
The plump man was clearly taken aback and waited for Xiao Mu to enter the courtyard before he whispered to the other gatekeeper, "Why has Mr. Qi suddenly become so polite?"
