Chapter 405: Heart's Racing, Itching to Act!

Qi Yue clung to the wall for a while, and finding nothing amiss other than the sound of a flute, she gritted her teeth and continued climbing up.

When she was almost at the top, she simply put away the climbing rope and, boosted by the gecko gloves, leapt directly upwards.

The top was deserted, and the sound of the flute near her ears had also drawn to a close.

Looking around, the entire Imperial City was eerily quiet, not even a patrol team was in sight.

Qi Yue furrowed her brow.

What was going on?

Could it be that the Western Chu royal family had dispatched all the Imperial Bodyguards to capture her?

This quietness felt a bit sinister...

While she was pondering, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Subordinate Qingzhu, arrived late to protect, please punish me, my lord."

Qi Yue quickly turned around and saw a figure shadowy like a bamboo.

His long hair fluttered, his figure was handsome, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand held a dark flute.
