Chapter 41: The Mysterious Girl

  This special group of people that originally only appeared in ancient costume TV dramas, today finally saw the real thing, and Lin Wu couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

  Looking at this 'little eunuch', Lin Wu found that the person's chest was bulging, and seeing this, Lin Wu became even more certain that this little eunuch must have stolen something from the imperial palace and was preparing to escape.

  "What are you looking at." Seeing Lin Wu sizing himself up with a very strange gaze, the little eunuch glared at Lin Wu.

  "You little eunuch, are you being chased because you stole something?" Lin Wu said.

  "Little eunuch?" Upon hearing Lin Wu's words, the other party looked bewildered.

  Seeing this, Lin Wu was also stunned. Looking at the young eunuch's age, he couldn't help but think that it was a pity for him to become a eunuch at such a young age. Lin Wu himself didn't even know what a eunuch meant.

  "Alright, you can go." Lin Wu said with a wave of his hand.

  "Didn't you come to take me back?" The little eunuch asked curiously.

  "What's missing in the imperial palace has nothing to do with me, I'm not a guard of the imperial palace." Lin Wu said with a curl of his lip.

  The little eunuch heard this and suddenly exclaimed: "You are an assassin sneaking into the imperial palace!!"

  Lin Wu almost choked to death, yet he still had the nerve to mind other people's business: "Who said that? Have you seen any assassins as carefree as me? On the contrary, you're just a small thief, yet you're so arrogant. You must have stolen a lot of good stuff, judging from the bulge in your chest."

  "What are you going to do?" The little eunuch saw Lin Wu's gaze sweep towards his chest and immediately tensed up, using his hand to cover it.

  This action even more revealed that the little eunuch had taken something good from the imperial palace, otherwise why would he be so nervous. Just as Lin Wu was about to continue questioning him, a small team of guards suddenly appeared in the distance, and the little eunuch immediately pulled Lin Wu into the bushes.

  "Phew... almost got caught." The little eunuch let out a long sigh as he watched the squad of guards walk by.

  "I said, why should I hide with you?" Lin Wu whispered in the little eunuch's ear.

  "Get away from me!!" The little eunuch felt Lin Wu's hot breath and was startled, hastily saying in a low voice.

  "Nothing's been found here, everyone keep searching, we must find it today no matter what!!" Two teams of guards shouted to each other from a distance, exchanging information.

  After the two teams of guards left, Lin Wu and the little eunuch walked out of the bushes. At this moment, Lin Wu became more curious about what was in the little eunuch's arms. What thing made the entire imperial palace search so tightly?

  "Hey, how about you take me away from the palace?" The little eunuch said to Lin Wu.

  "I refuse." Lin Wu said without hesitation, jokingly, this little eunuch was a wanted criminal in the imperial palace, and he didn't want to get involved.

  "I'll give you a lot of money, how about it?" The little eunuch said, not giving up.

  "No, okay, if you can show me what you've stolen, I'll keep it a secret for you," Lin Wu said lazily.

  "Who said I stole something?" The little eunuch heard this and was so angry that his pale face suddenly turned bright red.

  "You didn't steal, then show me what's in your sleeve." Lin Wucai wouldn't believe this little eunuch's words. How could it be bulging and you still say you didn't steal anything? Who would believe that?

  "There is no way! None at all!!" The little eunuch shouted angrily.

  "Really?" Upon hearing this, Lin Wu flashed to the side of the little eunuch, stretched out his hand and reached into the little eunuch's bosom. "Hmph, then I'll take it out and see you say that."

  "Huh?" Lin Wu's hand reached into the little eunuch's bosom and instantly felt a soft, warm thing that still had plenty of elasticity when pinched.

  "What is this thing?" Lin Wu's mind was filled with doubt, and after touching the soft, warm, and delicate surface, he felt a protruding, soft, and pearl-like object.

  At that moment, Lin Wu felt a sudden jolt throughout his body. This thing seemed... He turned his gaze to the small eunuch, and at this moment, Lin Wu saw the small eunuch staring angrily at him, with tears still in his eyes. The look made Lin Wu feel a sense of guilt.

  "Cough cough, this little girl, that... uh..." Lin Wu didn't know what to say for a moment.

  "Get your hands off!!" The little eunuch, no, it should be the little girl, said angrily, "You pervert, I'll make you pay." As she spoke, the little girl flipped her hand and a crystal-like magic wand appeared in her hand.

  "Magician!!!" Lin Wu was shocked, and then he took a step forward and grabbed the little girl in one swift motion. At such close range, even a great magician like Lin Wu had confidence in subduing her, let alone this little lass.

  "Let me go." The little girl panicked as she was held down by Lin Wu.

  "Then put the magic wand away," said Lin Wu Dao.

  "Let me go first." The little girl said angrily.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Wu let go of the little girl. At such a close distance, Lin Wu was not afraid that she would play tricks on him. "What kind of person are you?" Lin Wu asked after releasing the little girl.

  "Hmph!" The little girl snorted coldly and turned her head away, ignoring Lin Wu.

  Lin Wu turned around and shouted: "Thief!!"

  "What are you doing!!" As expected, Lin Wu's shout made that little girl hurriedly cover his mouth and say urgently.

  "Now it can be said," said Lin Wu Dao.

  "Uh-huh." The little girl nodded, then turned her eyes and said: "I was sold into the palace as a maid, but the palace is like a cage. I want to be free, I want to get out."

  Lin Wu heard the little girl's words and suddenly felt a sense of reverence. Life is precious, love is priceless, but for the sake of freedom, both can be abandoned. A young girl who values freedom, this indeed made Lin Wu, a good youth from the 21st century, feel a sense of identification.

  "Will you take me out?" The little girl looked at Lin Wu with expectant eyes.

  "This." Thinking that this little girl was a suspect being pursued by the entire imperial palace, Lin Wu hesitated.

  "You've touched someone, you have to take responsibility. Do you want to shirk the blame?" The little girl said angrily, seeing Lin Wu's hesitation.

  "Hmm..." Lin Wu felt a sudden headache upon hearing this, if only he had known earlier, he wouldn't have bothered with this little girl, and now he's gotten himself involved.

  "Alright, alright." Lin Wu thought that this little girl probably wasn't a thief, compared to those guards finding someone else.

  "Come on, let's hurry up, or we won't be able to get out," the little girl urged.

  "Alright." Lin Wu nodded when he saw that Alice had yet to come out, "She must be playing with Nana and has lost track of time."

  As they spoke, the two of them ran towards the outside of the imperial palace. "Hey, by the way, what's your name?" Lin Wu asked.

  "Nanali," said the little girl, "what's your name?"

  "Lin Wu." Lin Wu said, pulling Nana into a nearby thicket just as a group of guards walked by from afar.

  "Huh? You're really amazing, able to sense it from so far away?" Nana exclaimed.

  Lin Wu smiled and didn't respond, from the moment he mastered the fluctuation skill, Lin Wu felt that his perception had suddenly surged, things that he couldn't perceive before were now clearly distinguishable.
