Curious and unable to sleep, Jiang Yu, with her bright eyes, followed along with Qingyu. The two followed Jiang Mingyue all the way to the Lu family's old residence.

Jiang Yu, secretly hiding behind a tree and watching the furtive Jiang Mingyue, stroked her chin and muttered softly.

"I told you she wanted to steal from that bastard from the Lu family, but she wouldn't admit it."

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang has gone inside."

"Let's go take a look."

At this moment, the Empress's desire to gossip reached its peak.

However, just as they reached the corner of the wall and before they could climb over, a dark shadow suddenly fell from above and landed gracefully in front of Jiang Yu.

For a moment, the two were startled by each other, looked at each other, and spoke in unison.

What are you doing here?

"Didn't you go in?"

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the Lu family bodyguards who were chasing after her. She didn't have time to explain or listen to their explanations. She grabbed one of them with each hand and ran away.

"Run first, then we'll figure it out."

Three minutes later, the three of them hid in the lush trees and watched as the Lu family's bodyguards ran past below.

"So, why are you here so late?" Now that she was safe for the moment, Jiang Mingyue turned to question the two with a cold face.

"Oh, I followed you here." Jiang Yu said calmly.

You're really honest.

Jiang Ming gritted his teeth, his head throbbing.

"What happened to you? Why did you come out so soon after you went in? Where is the person you stole from?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

"What do you mean by stealing someone? Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Mingyue exclaimed in horror.

Are you trying to ruin me and this family?

"Didn't you come here to steal that bastard Lu Wu?" Jiang Yu blinked her innocent big eyes and said sincerely.

After he finished speaking, there was complete silence.

Jiang Mingyue stared at Jiang Yu speechlessly for a long while before speaking coldly, "I treat you like family, and you treat me like a thief?"

Do you think everyone is as crazy as you, wanting to steal something they like and take it home?

"Then why did you break into the Lu family's house at night?" Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.

Jiang Mingyue's expression stiffened for a moment, then she changed the subject, "You don't need to know. Now, before they find out, you should hurry back."

"Aren't you leaving?" Jiang Yu asked.

"You guys go first." Jiang Mingyue stared at the Lu family's old house and pursed her lips.

Tonight, Lu Zhenhua has transferred most of his bodyguards, and he is not at the old mansion. Now is the best time to infiltrate the Lu family. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will have another chance.

"If you want to go in, I can help you," Jiang Yu said gently.

"You have a way?" Jiang Mingyue turned her head and looked at her questioningly.

"Of course." The Empress tilted her head proudly.

Did you really think the previous empresses had all stolen things for nothing?

Although the girl can be unreliable at times, she can also be incredibly reliable at others. Jiang Mingyue hesitated for a moment before asking, "What method?"

"Tell me first, what are you going in there to do?" Jiang Yu stared into her eyes with dark eyes that seemed to see right through her.

"I can't tell you." Jiang Mingyue wanted to make up an excuse, but she gave up when she saw her eyes.

"I won't take you in if you don't tell me." Jiang Yu grumbled, raising her chin, and added, "Hurry up and think of something, they'll be back soon."

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the bodyguards who had been brought back, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth, "I'll tell you, but you're not allowed to tell anyone else."

Her expression, as if she were about to say something important, piqued the interest of the two women, Jiang Yu and Qing Yu, who leaned closer with sparkling eyes.

"I was ordered to investigate the mastermind behind an underground casino. Casinos are already a gray industry in China, but this casino is not only not discreet, but also extremely arrogant. Many people have been persecuted by it, so we need to find out who is behind it and solve the problem at its root."

"Based on information provided by an insider at the casino, it seems that this casino is connected to Lu Zhenhua, so I need to go in and search for evidence," Jiang Mingyue said in a low but serious voice.

Jiang Yu remained silent for a moment before summarizing in a cold tone.

"So, he's undermining the very foundation of the nation?"

"That's one way to put it, but the problem is there's no evidence yet to prove he's the mastermind..."

Before Jiang Mingyue could finish speaking, Jiang Yu eagerly drew his sword and stood up, with Qingyu following suit.

Their loud noise startled Jiang Mingyue, who quickly pulled her back, "What are you doing?!"

"I'll go and kill him," Jiang Yu said sinisterly.

"Your Majesty, Qingyu will go with you." Qingyu immediately agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Mingyue smirked, "What are you talking about? Everyone, get back in position."

Just as they finished speaking, a group of bodyguards walked past under the tree to search them, and the three of them immediately held their breath and hid themselves.

After they left, Jiang Yu turned to Jiang Mingyue, who had stopped her, looking unhappy. "Why couldn't I kill her?"

If we want our country to be strong, we must nip things like pornography, gambling, and drugs in the bud.

"First, we don't have any evidence yet. Second, even if he is guilty, he should be punished by law. Third, murder is a crime." Jiang Mingyue pulled the irritable Empress back, feeling weary of explaining the law.

"Your Majesty, this is not the Jiang Kingdom. We must abide by the law," Qingyu whispered in Jiang Yu's ear.

Jiang Yu was exasperated, unable to kill the shark.

It squatted on the tree, puffing out its cheeks like a resentful cat.

"Does that mean we can kill him once we find evidence?" Jiang Yu's obsession with killing the thief was surprisingly deep.

"The law will not let anyone who harms the country and its people go unpunished," Jiang Mingyue said in a low voice.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips. "Okay, come with me."

Led by Jiang Yu, the three successfully bypassed the guards and bodyguards and arrived at a corner where the surveillance cameras were in a blind spot.

Jiang Mingyue pointed to the wall and asked Jiang Yu, "You're not planning to climb over here, are you?"

Jiang Yu nodded.

"Do you know what's behind this? It's an artificial lake. If you fall in, you'll not only fall into the water, but you'll also attract the bodyguards around here." Jiang Mingyue admitted that she had been too hasty and actually thought that Jiang Yu had a way to get her in.

"No, it won't happen." Jiang Yu blinked.

"Can't do what?" Jiang Mingyue asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yu did not answer, but put one hand on her shoulder and turned to look at Qingyu.

Qingyu understood immediately and placed her hand on Jiang Mingyue's other shoulder.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the two people grabbing her shoulders from both sides, and just as confusion and bewilderment appeared on her face, she felt herself being lifted into the air.

She watched as she flew from outside the wall to inside and landed on the lake. With a light touch of her toes, she flew to the lawn next to her.

She didn't even realize it when her feet touched the ground.

What just happened?

(O_o)??

It was as if she had flown away.

Jiang Mingyue stood there dumbfounded, looking up at Jiang Yu in utter astonishment. "What was that just now? How did we fly?"

"This is called qinggong (lightness skill), don't you guys know it?" Jiang Yu tilted her head in confusion.

Didn't they say that many powerful martial arts schools have been passed down? They should know such a simple skill as lightness skill.

Hearing her nonchalant question, Jiang Mingyue finally cracked.

I should be able to?

Wait, why does this scene look so familiar?
