The moon hangs on the willow tip.

A dark figure swiftly approaches the War Prince’s Mansion. With a few leaps, he jumps into the War Prince’s Mansion.

"Who goes there?"

As soon as he enters, the guards inside shout out alertly.

"What are you making a fuss about? It’s your Master." A raspy male voice echoes in the silent surroundings.

Long Yi steps out from the shadows, and by the hazy moonlight, sees the figure in the courtyard lying on the ground, looking up at him. So, this intruder is the Weirdo.

Due to his odd appearance and fear of attracting intentional attention, the Weirdo finds it inconvenient to visit the War Prince’s Mansion during the day. He can only sneak over at night if he has any business.

"So it’s Senior Zhang." Long Yi only knows the Weirdo’s surname is Zhang, and nothing else.

With an air of arrogance, the Weirdo says from the ground: "Good that you know. Tell your men not to bother your Master. It’s hard for me to come by, so don’t spoil it."

This weird old man is highly skilled in Kung Fu, with a peculiar temperament. Although his background is unknown, the Master highly values him, so Long Yi naturally doesn’t dare to be impolite.

Long Yi: "Senior, rest assured, once they see you, they won’t bother you again."

The Weirdo ignores Long Yi, his short figure bounces off the ground, and he leaps onto the roof with a swoosh, heading towards Xuexue’s courtyard.

The nearby guard curiously asks: "Guard Commander, who exactly is this weird old man?"

With a deep voice, Long Yi says: "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know. Have you forgotten the Prince’s rules?"

"Yes." The guard dares not make another sound.

Long Yi waves his hand, and the guards swiftly hide, leaving the courtyard seemingly empty, as if no one was there.

In reality, elite fighters are hidden, ready to notice any movement.

Rain Listening Courtyard.

After a busy day, Xuexue unfastened her hairbun, preparing to change into her undergarment before going to bed. These days, she’s been in a spat with Long Rui, and he hasn’t come around as usual, probably hoping to let things cool down a bit.

"Creak... Creak...!"

The windows sway incessantly.

Zi Xia looks back at the window, hands the undergarment to Xuexue, and says: "Miss, let me close the window properly."

"Alright!"

Xuexue takes the undergarment. For small tasks like changing into sleepwear, she didn’t want to trouble others, but she agreed only after Zi Xia’s insistence.

Just as she takes off her outer garment halfway, Zi Xia suddenly screams: "Miss, there’s a ruffian, quickly put your clothes back on."

Xuexue moves swiftly too, deftly flipping the cloth up and tying the belt.

In that instant, a shadow flashes in the room, adding another person. Xuexue takes a closer look and realizes it’s the Weirdo. She calmly sits at the bedside and helplessly asks: "What brings you here so late, Senior?"

"The way you talk, girl, seems unwelcoming, right?" The Weirdo is unhappy. Every time he visits, he doesn’t come empty-handed but brings news with him.

Xuexue: "You misunderstand, senior. Xuexue didn’t mean it that way."

The Weirdo, lying on the ground like a lord, starts howling: "If that’s not the case, hurry and get some food. Your Master has traveled a whole day and is starving."

At this Shichen Chinese time, the street vendors outside have already packed up.

Surprised, Xuexue asks: "Senior, you haven’t had dinner yet?"

The Weirdo seems genuinely famished, squawking loudly: "No, hurry up, your Master is starving."

Being the Eldest Prince of the Former Dynasty, he refers to himself as ’Master,’ which Xuexue finds acceptable and quite pleasant-sounding.

Unaware of his true identity, Zi Xia is displeased with the Weirdo, and says in a disgruntled tone: "Senior, don’t forget you work for the Miss. Referring to yourself as ’Master’ all the time, do you think it’s appropriate?"
