She... knew we were here!
This made Berry and her younger brother behind her freeze. Their first reaction was disbelief...
The alchemical equipment of the Hui Yue Series was mainly used to evade magic arrays and barriers. Although it was not mainstream stealth equipment, it still had a decent concealment effect. The several of them were also outstanding Royal Children, and they had been extremely careful with their footsteps and breathing on the way here so as not to attract the guards' attention. They had almost completely blended into the surrounding air.
They had also been communicating through sound transmission just now. Under these circumstances, with an entire palace between them, even the rangers from those Great Clans of the same age might not necessarily have noticed their arrival, right?
Yet their opponent had actually sensed them coming?
And while she was asleep?
Berry narrowed her eyes and sent a message: "Could she have just happened to wake up?"
Kudlan, who was ahead, shook his head slightly. The usually arrogant man now wore a solemn expression. He made a shushing gesture and listened carefully for something.
Berry froze, not quite understanding at first, but a moment later, she suddenly remembered something...
That's right... It wasn't just that the guy's exaggerated snoring had stopped. There wasn't any sound at all!
Only then did Berry realize why the others looked so serious. If she had merely woken up, then even if the snoring had stopped, there should at least have been some other sound, right? Her breathing, at the very least...
But there was nothing. The entire bedchamber was frighteningly quiet, as if the person who had been snoring moments ago had vanished in an instant...
After realizing this, Berry sucked in a cold breath and immediately warily scanned her surroundings...
"Interesting..."
