Chapter 100 Book 3 Long Hai's Annoyance

The moon hung high in the velvety night sky, casting a pale glow over the sprawling imperial palace. Its silvery beams slid over the tiled roofs like a gentle caress, illuminating the shadows that stretched and danced across the grounds. Long Hai darted across the rooftops like a phantom, his movements swift and noiseless. The cool night air pressed against his face, carrying with it the faint scent of blooming jasmine from the palace gardens below.

He didn't know why he was doing this—why he had chosen to visit the Cold Palace of all places once again. He had no reason to come, no logical excuse for risking being caught in a place no one in their right mind dared to linger. Yet, he couldn't shake the nagging restlessness that had gripped him all day.
