Behind Yaohua Hall, there is a Nine Winding Corridor adorned with colored glaze palace lanterns. Below, a pond is home to a group of brilliantly colored koi; watching the fish under the lanterns at night presents an amusing and picturesque scene.
Yue Xin was lively by nature and enjoyed roaming around. She ran down to the corridor to watch the fish and even took some fish food from the lotus stand of the railing, feeding the fish as she walked and danced happily.
She didn't notice a small shadow approaching from behind.
At the same time, Zi Wei was lurking below the corridor. The instant Chu Xi reached out her hand toward Yue Xin, Zi Wei drew his knife with a bloodthirsty and piercing gaze—
"Hey."
Chu Xi gently tapped Yue Xin.
"What?"
Yue Xin turned around, her eyes innocent and flawless.
Seeing that Chu Xi hadn't harmed Yue Xin, Zi Wei instantly withdrew his knife.
