I Shall Claim the First Merit

"Hush, keep your voice down!"

"Can you be as obedient as a lamb, not making a sound, and keeping your eyes closed... Today, we must escape from the palace and leave."

In a corner of the Jing Nation palace, little Mumu slowly crept along the wall.

Behind her, little Suan Ni was wrapped in black cloth, with only two holes for eyes, occasionally emitting a glint of gold when opened.

It was necessary since little Suan Ni was entirely golden, and this was the only way to barely conceal her presence.

At the rear was the Mountain Back Puppet, the most inconspicuous figure in the darkness.

This was a carefully planned escape.

Simu spent half a day learning a technique from Zhang Qingwei to conceal their presence.

Then, she spent another half a cup of tea mastering the technique and becoming proficient in it.

Thus, tonight's escape plan came into being.

As long as they didn't reveal their presence, their two teachers wouldn't notice them.

Once over this wall, they would be free!
