Chapter 814: Chapter 750: Night Raid (Part 2)

Xia Wenjin looked at the tightly closed gate of the Prince Mansion. She naturally would not knock on the door; she quietly moved to the right side, this courtyard wall was much higher than her home’s.

With a press on the wall, Xia Wenjin’s whole body sprang up, performing the Shadow Circulation Step, which Ning Yujun taught her. Although Ning Yujun was not yet her master, she had already mastered this technique with such ease, as if it had merged into her bones and blood.

Her whole body seemed to walk straight up the wall, taking one step at a time.

Sitting on the wall, she glanced at the Cheng Prince Mansion.

She had not been here before.

Huangfu Jingchen had invited her several times, but each time inconveniently, she had other matters to attend to and had not actually visited. Unexpectedly, the first visit was in this manner.

It seems, Huangfu Jingchen did not enter the Xia Mansion through the front door the first time either, but came over in this same manner.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and chuckled.

The Cheng Prince Mansion is indeed big, worthy of being a royal mansion. Compared to it, the Xia Mansion is probably only as big as one courtyard here.

Because of its size, it felt somewhat cold.

At this moment, apart from several lanterns emitting dim yellow light, the entire Cheng Prince Mansion was surprisingly quiet.

Indeed quiet, there was not even a guard in the Cheng Prince Mansion.

But this was better.

However, in which courtyard may Huangfu Jingchen be residing?

Xia Wenjin took another look; the main courtyard was unlikely, as it housed Prince Cheng and his wife. It should be the courtyard near the main courtyard, looking rather elegant.

Having determined the destination, Xia Wenjin came down from the wall.

Although she didn’t see any courtyard guards, too much noise would still alert people.

Thus, Xia Wenjin quietly slipped down from the wall.

The feeling was strange, yet with a heart full of childlike delight, Xia Wenjin found it somewhat fun. Since she thought of coming, she needed to remind Huangfu Jingchen that at tomorrow’s birthday, something would happen.

Although quietly arriving like this, meeting Prince Cheng and his wife could be somewhat awkward, but if she was careful enough not to be discovered, she should be fine.

She borrowed the shadow of the trees over there and quietly headed to the secondary courtyard.

Suddenly, it seemed that some rustling sounds arose.

Could it be the hidden courtyard guards?

Xia Wenjin swiftly darted behind the tree.

At the courtyard wall over there, a silhouette in dark clothing appeared. Although the face was unclear, from the posture, it was recognizably a woman.

The woman slightly tapped the tree branch with her tiptoes and borrowed momentum to leap, flipping continuously in the air, rotating, and then tapping onto the next tree branch, flipping and rotating again. The entire process was like flowing clouds and streams, yet naturally graceful.

The remarkable thing was although flipping continuously, her clothes did not stir much wind sound; if not situated closely, one might not even notice.

Such movement technique truly made people amazed.

Xia Wenjin felt that it compared to her Cold Moon Xuying Body Technique, was not inferior at all!

The woman swiftly crossed past the courtyard wall and approached from her direction.

Xia Wenjin remained motionless behind the tree, even holding her breath.

This woman was too strong; even just by watching, comparatively, she did not feel she stood a chance.

Her intentions were unclear, it was better to watch the situation unfold.

However, though she intended to watch the situation unfold, evidently things could not go as wished.

That woman seemed to have also fixed upon this hiding place under the tree, heading straight where Xia Wenjin was.

Xia Wenjin moved aside, yet instead of heading to the tree, the woman coincidentally came straight to where Xia Wenjin was hiding, causing them to accidentally come face to face.

Xia Wenjin abruptly struck out, aiming for the opponent’s acupoint.

Her sudden move was quick and unexpected, intending to subdue the opponent immediately.

The opponent was also strong; upon discovering someone here, her body swiftly shifted sideways, just evading Xia Wenjin’s strike, and countered with an attack. The two engaged quickly in two moves.

As Xia Wenjin prepared to launch a third strike, the opponent stepped back two steps, creating distance. Her face was concealed by a white cloth, revealing only her eyes, which at this moment were bright, looking at Xia Wenjin with curiosity and surprise, softly asked, "Hey, you also came to explore Cheng Prince Mansion at night?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wenjin’s eyes grew profound.

She knew that the Cheng Prince Mansion was an awkward existence in the Capital City, however, due to Prince Cheng’s strength, Cheng Prince twenty-two years ago could revolutionize the Capital City, and the Capital City twenty-two years later might also change due to Prince Cheng’s intentions.

So now, is someone trying to control this change?
