Yujo grit her teeth as she followed the man. Thinking back to his behavior at the ChiHwaRu and the storeroom, Yujo knew that this man’s hands and lips acted fast. As long as the girl was wearing a skirt, he acted like a besotted fool. Imagining him meeting an early demise filled Yujo with glee.5b61e69a8edca588
She assessed the path he was taking and quickly ran ahead. Since she couldn’t win him with her martial arts, she’d have to resort to cheating instead.8b1b7403646c1666

The palace! Yujo’s eyes widened. As she thought… Was he an independent official? He was incredibly talented in the martial arts, and he had a strange aura about him. And for some reason, he gave off the scent of bureaucracy. There was a chance that the emperor had wanted this matter investigated due to the fact that the Heukra was seen with the guibin’s waistband.ceb7824f59de5a32

They passed through this 7b245a0ffd street, and the man 6bd2aaa4f4 began to walk up 035df5dc00 the stairs of an 709b32fe58 old building. Yujo hesitated before c891867e62 following him up 4d2a44bf4d the narrow stairs.b1692d829054e0af
The man continued up as if he were heading to the second floor, but he stopped at the middle landing of the staircase and stepped in front of a large cabinet that had been placed against the wall.
