To get close to the pavilion, one had to go around an artificial hill.
As Xie Yu walked, he said, "With such amazing tricks, I'm really curious how you can slip past these hundreds of eyes and come and go in the palace as you please."
However, when he rounded the rockery and looked closely—
The pavilion was empty again!
The Chief Eunuch beside him rubbed his eyes. "She… she's gone again?!"
The surrounding Imperial Guard immediately launched a carpet search!
Not a soul to be found!
Even Xie Yu hadn't expected this and was briefly stunned.
A moment later, he felt the anger of being toyed with.
"Search for her!"
Last time she'd been in the hall, at least there had been places to hide.
But this time, under so many watching eyes, she'd vanished in the mere instant it took to turn a corner.
Unless she jumped into the water, there was no way she'd just disappear.
Yet on that water's surface, there wasn't even a ripple!
