At this time, the sky had already turned dark. Gong Yimo walked beside Gong Jue, each of them absorbed in their own thoughts, and nobody spoke.

  Gong Yimo was pondering in her heart. Right now, her disguise technique has improved much more compared to the start, and the mannerisms that used to be the hardest for her to hide was now easy to conceal as well. There should be no issues at all. But when she thought about back then, of how easily Gong Che recognized her during Gong Jue’s celebration party, she felt a little unsure.

  While thinking about that, they had unknowingly reached the edge of the city.

  Gong Yimo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she bowed to Gong Che and said, “Many thanks to this prince for seeing this one off. Though we may part now, we will definitely meet again another day.”


  She lowered her head, but in just a short while, she finally got the question she expected.

  “If I may ask, have you not come with someone else? Where has that Mr. Li gone?”


  Gong Yimo raised her head and her expression remained unchanged. “As our talks are met with success, this one has told him to return before me to report the good news.”
