He stuck out his finger and began pointing at the mountains one by one while murmuring, "Pick the fat one, pick the thin one, pick the one with meat on it… Ah, that one."
After a moment of mumbling, Yue Mingxuan pointed to the mountain on the side and declared, "That one has meat to eat!" Then he quickly set off in that direction.
He moving lightly to avoid the guards stationed at the base and climbed smoothly up to the mountainside.
Along the way, he spotted many herbs, but he didn't stop to collect any of them.
He went straight up until he reached halfway and finally slowed down while gazing across the other peaks under the moonlight.
Just as he had guessed, the mountain directly ahead had faint outlines of temple buildings, it was definitely royal territory.
Aside from that guarded area, the rest of the mountains seemed free for him to explore.
Feeling reassured, Yue Mingxuan continued climbing toward the top.
