Huo Chengche frowned, his gaze drifting indifferently to the window. He didn't speak, his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles unconsciously playing with the little baby's chubby, white hand.
"Your Highness, would you like me to send a fast-moving eunuch back to the palace with some men?" Fu Man asked tentatively.
The young man's dark eyes were deep, then suddenly his thin lips curved into a smile, his deep eyes revealing a sinister glint, and he said calmly, "No need."
He raised an eyebrow at the adorable, chubby little baby in his arms, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Niannian, how about your Crown Prince brother takes you on an adventure to an old mansion?"
Upon hearing this, the little boy's eyes lit up, his dimples deepened, and he clapped his hands happily, "Yay! Crown Prince Brother is the best!"
Huo Chengche looked at the excited little baby in his arms, his smile deepening, and he picked her up and got off the carriage.
Fu Man looked up blankly, glancing worriedly at his master and the little baby in his arms, before anxiously stepping forward and saying:
"Your Highness, perhaps this servant should send someone back to the palace to fetch some men. If that's not possible, sending someone to the Jingzhao Prefecture would also be fine! There are countless men in this residence; what if you get injured..."
Huo Chengche glanced at the mansion in front of him, his eyes narrowing, and sneered, "It's too late to call for help now. If they come, not only will it be too late to save us, but it will also alert them. You can wait here..."
At this point, he glanced at Zhuangyou beside him and asked casually as he passed her, "Xuandi should be nearby, right?"
Zhuangyou was taken aback, then quickly nodded, "Yes, the Fifth Young Master should be nearby."
Huo Chengche raised an eyebrow and looked around. He couldn't find Xuandi's exact location, but he could vaguely sense that someone was following them. However, the person didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He guessed that it must be that unreliable Xuandi.
Having received a definite answer, Huo Chengche had no more worries.
The next moment, he regulated his breathing, used his lightness skill, and in a flash, he jumped over the courtyard in front of him.
Fu Man wanted to follow, but in the blink of an eye, he only saw a figure flash past above the high wall. He could only stand there dumbfounded, speechless with shock.
This Crown Prince, who usually appears so refined and elegant, is actually... so skilled in martial arts?!
"This, this... Your Highness, please be careful! Why did you bring the little princess along? You can put her down now!"
Once he realized what was happening, Fu Man broke out in a cold sweat and paced around the base of the wall like a fly, his face full of worry.
Meanwhile, Zhuang You, thinking about Huo Chengche's wicked smile just now, glanced at the house in front of her with great concern, shook her head helplessly, and in a flash, she also jumped over the high wall and followed the person and the little baby in front.
Fu Man's anxious mutterings stopped abruptly as he stared dumbfounded at Zhuang You, who had also vanished in a flash.
He looked up at the tall wall in front of him, stunned for a long while, before turning his head to look at the people around him, and asked hesitantly, "You...you guys can't...you can get through too, can you?"
How come a young boy and a delicate woman both live such an easy life?
Fu Man's eyes showed suspicion.
However, he was immediately met with blank shakes of his head from those around him, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, it wasn't his problem.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, Zhuangyou, who had just landed, heard the boy's clear and gentle voice say to the little boy, "Niannian, call Pang Tuantuan over. How can this ancient house exploration team be without this main force?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuangyou nearly lost her balance and fell to the ground.
