Xu Que left the Imperial City without any qualms.
Acting tough required a magnanimous and unrestrained heart, whether it was towards the Flaming Sun Princess or the Water Empress.
Xu Que landed on the shore of the Great Lake not long after. He changed into a set of clothes and covered his face. When no one was around to notice, he emerged from his hidden position.
Initially, the fastest way to the Imperial Tombs had been through the teleportation device. But now that the palace was burning, the teleportation device in there was definitely gone by now. Xu Que had to enter the tombs through the passageway from the Great Lake, which was the safest as well as the next fastest possible route.
When he passed by the mansion located in the middle of the lake, he paused for a while.
After pondering for a moment, he sneaked into the mansion.
A beautiful female figure was standing by the railing, looking into the horizon and was muttering to themselves.
