Chapter 457 -458: Great Kindness Needs No Thanks

Qingzhu responded lightly and, together with Qi Yue, stealthily followed the figure who skillfully evaded numerous guards and finally sneaked into a temple within the Inner Imperial City.

Qi Yue took out a telescope and saw the four large characters on the plaque, which made her exclaim in surprise.

“Imperial Hidden Treasury? From the name, is this the Emperor’s private repository?”

As she spoke, she used the telescope to take in the full view of the temple.

“But the architecture doesn’t seem to match that of the Imperial Treasury? It clearly looks like the rear palace bedrooms?”

Qingzhu also found it strange and suggested taking a closer look.

Qi Yue thought it feasible, so she instructed him to go quickly and return quickly.

Through the telescope, Qingzhu looked like a tiny meteorite, cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and in the blink of an eye, landed on the roof of the Imperial Hidden Treasury.

Qi Yue couldn’t help but marvel again.

This agility truly surpassed human limits!

Soon Qingzhu returned, with a face full of surprise and excitement.

“Master, the person just now took out a firelighter, and I vaguely saw that the great hall was filled with many items; it seems to be a storeroom.”

“So it really is a storeroom?”

Hearing that there were many items inside, Qi Yue couldn’t help but clench her itching fingertips.

She wanted to plunder again!

“Master, don’t you want to…” Qingzhu was also excited, his lips almost forming the words “clean them out”!

The corners of Qi Yue’s eyes twitched unconsciously.

When had a good guard become an assistant expert in emptying places?

Emptying places was easy, but dealing with the aftermath was tricky, and it could potentially ruin their reputation.

If she ever became the common ruler of all nations, or even if she was merely Zhao Xiyan’s woman behind him, being known for duping the royal families of four nations would not sound very noble!

“This might not be a good idea?!”

She said regretfully, though her heart was actually bursting with excitement!

Yet Qingzhu pointed at the Imperial Hidden Treasury right in front of them, a look of encouragement on his face.

“Master, tonight there happens to be a scapegoat; it would be a waste not to use this opportunity. Maybe you could take just a little less?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue instantly couldn’t control herself and nodded.

She was too greedy!

Every time she took things, she left not even a needle or thread.

This habit needed to change!

Taking a little less was a good strategy.

It allowed her to take items without anyone noticing anything!

“Alright, let’s go have a look!”

The two of them quickly also sneaked into the Imperial Hidden Treasury.

Only after truly entering did Qi Yue realize—

The Imperial Hidden Treasury was indeed situated within the territories of the rear palace, its structure deep and majestic, more akin to a place where someone like the Empress Dowager would reside.

As she observed everything within the great hall, her curiosity deepened.

Because the décor and arrangements were not the heavy dignity preferred by the elderly, but rather seemed to be the work of a young woman’s hand.

“Something’s not right; this place seems to be lived in, not just a storeroom for holding items.” Qi Yue hesitated, “Someone has lived here within the last three days at least.”

Qingzhu was puzzled, “Master, there are no traces of servants here; why do you think someone has been living here?”

Qi Yue curled her lips.

“The aura of life; I sensed the presence of someone having lived here.”

Seeing Qingzhu’s confused and shocked face, Qi Yue almost laughed out loud.

“Well, that’s not important now, let’s find that person first.”

“Yes.”

The temple was vast, but since the person occasionally lit a firelighter, seemingly in search of something, he was easily found by them.

This was a back chamber behind the side hall; through the curtains that connected to the outer room, Qi Yue saw the man using a dim firelighter to inspect each item closely, occasionally leaning in to sniff persistently.

Suddenly, Qingzhu gently tugged at her sleeve.

“Master, it seems like that man is Wolf Nine!”

Qi Yue quickly looked closer.

The man was covering one eye and had a beard on his face, looking quite sinister and terrifying.

If not Wolf Nine, then who else could it be?

Once she confirmed it was Wolf Nine, an additional layer of joy couldn’t help but form in Qi Yue’s heart.

Originally, she had felt slightly guilty about having someone else take the blame while she moved the items.

Now, that concern was gone.

This one-eyed Wolf Nine had a notorious reputation and committed numerous evils; having him as a scapegoat was truly getting more than what one paid for!

At that thought, Qi Yue had already started to stash several gem-encrusted gold bowls that were placed on a nearby table into her space.

In the inner chamber, Wolf Nine seemed to have found what he was looking for, smiling contentedly as he stuffed a brightly colored object into his bosom.

Then, he climbed onto the bed of the inner chamber and kept sniffing something on that bed, eventually stuffing another item into his bosom.

Qi Yue watched, completely baffled, and couldn’t help but whisper to Qingzhu.

“Why does this Wolf Nine seem so odd? With so many valuable items around, why is he just sniffing them?”

“Maybe using his nose to smell is his way of judging whether the items are valuable or not?” Qingzhu whispered back.

“…” Qi Yue twitched the corners of her mouth.

What a bizarre method of judgment!

Qi Yue didn’t bother with Wolf Nine anymore.

Using the faint moonlight, she continued to collect some valuable yet not too bulky items.

Of course, when she encountered items that were both large and rare, she didn’t hesitate and took them directly.

After all, the items here were genuinely plentiful, laid out one next to another.

Unless someone deliberately checked, who would notice?

With that thought, Qi Yue stashed a gold-set ceremonial scepter as thick as her arm into her space.

Turning around, she then saw a jade statue nearly as tall as a person, and took it directly!

Finally, inside the inner chamber, Wolf Nine stopped his strange behavior and began to retreat.

Qi Yue hurriedly and Qingzhu retreated first, perching themselves up in a large tree opposite the hall.

“Master, he’s leaving. Should we let the Longting Guard catch him?”

“No, him getting captured would be disadvantageous to us,”

Qingzhu pondered for a moment.

“You mean to let the guards spot him, but not capture him?”

“Yes,” Qi Yue nodded, giving a few soft instructions.

“When the guards catch up later, just play along a bit.”

“Yes, Master.”

Indeed, just as they left the Outer Imperial City, they heard urgent gong sounds and shouting.

Afterward, a troop holding torches charged straight towards them.

Just as several Imperial Bodyguards surrounded Wolf Nine, Qi Yue immediately threw a fireball out.

Conveniently, the fireball hit something, causing the guards to panic and all rush to put out the fire.

This gave the surrounded Wolf Nine a chance to escape.

He nimbly moved and shifted, quickly reaching the wall at the junction of the Inner and Outer Imperial City.

Although a few pursuing guards followed him, someone with a bit of skill could escape from there.

Unless they encountered the Longting Guard!

It was unclear whether Wolf Nine knew someone was secretly helping him, but he bowed towards the darkness.

“Great kindness is beyond words. I will repay this lifesaving grace another day!”
