...
The Qi Kingdom's palace was quite large, and even Chu Chu couldn't find the entrance to the underground ice cellar in a short time.
Chu Chu stood on the eaves of the palace hall, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed the fluctuations of internal energy around her.
Rank 7, Rank 8, Rank 9, Grandmaster...
Chu Chu moved to a different spot and sensed the fluctuations of internal energy around her again.
Rank 6, Rank 7, Rank 8, Rank 9, Grandmaster...
Chu Chu frowned, unable to find the Grandmaster of the Imperial Palace.
If we can't sense it, it either means that this grandmaster isn't in the palace at all, or it means that this person also knows the method of concealing their aura by controlling the fluctuations of internal energy.
Unable to find a Grandmaster, Chu Chu had no choice but to settle for a martial artist at the Grandmaster level.
...
A jade plate hangs high, its moonlight like a ribbon.
In the middle of the night, in the backyard of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Fenghua Palace, an old eunuch was sweeping the floor with a large broom.
The man was hunched over and very old. Even sweeping the floor with this broom seemed to require a lot of effort.
Chu Chu appeared and said directly, "I'm going to the ice cellar."
The old eunuch slowly turned around and said, "Miss, I am just an old eunuch who has been working in Fenghua Palace. I'm already buried up to my neck and won't live much longer."
Chu Chu was too lazy to waste words and said, "Stop pretending. I need to borrow the palace's ice cellar. Take me there."
The old eunuch said in surprise, "I am seventy-two years old this year. I entered the palace at the age of twelve and have served the palace for sixty years. I have always been diligent in my work. Why do you say such things, young lady?"
Chu Chu stopped wasting words. Her aura instantly changed from having no internal energy fluctuations to the sixth rank, then the seventh, eighth, and ninth rank, Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster.
"icehouse."
"Our family is really..."
Chu Chu unleashed a burst of internal energy, its intensity perfectly controlled, requiring a Grandmaster-level martial artist to exert their full strength to block it.
Seeing the deadly attack coming, the old eunuch immediately dropped the broom in his hand, took a horse stance, lowered his center of gravity, and at the same time, his internal energy moved with the wind, transforming into his hands and in front of his body.
Two withered, rotten old hands drew delicate arcs in the air, executing a palm technique that used softness to overcome hardness, layer by layer stripping away Chu Chu's pure internal energy before finally receiving her attack.
Cold sweat beaded on the old eunuch's forehead. He had thought Chu Chu was some ignorant palace maid, but he never expected that this girl, who was only ten years old, would have the strength of a Grandmaster!
Chu Chu held the wooden box, not wanting to say a single unnecessary word.
