Xing Yuyue glared at Duke An for a long time, then sat down dejectedly and said through gritted teeth, "Bring the item, and I'll have someone go back to fetch the military book right away."
...
While Duke An was exchanging verbal jabs with Xing Bin outside the mansion gates, Zheng Pengfei had already slipped away from the followers, changed his clothes, and quietly returned to the Jiang Family's courtyard.
Jiang Yifan was waiting in the dark in his room for news. By the starlight through the open window, Jiang Yifan saw Zheng Pengfei's figure flash into the courtyard like a ghost and silently slip into the room.
Even though it was his own courtyard, the opening and closing of the door did not make the slightest sound.
Jiang Yifan sat still but chuckled softly, "Did big brother meet Shi Yu? That's why you could enter the room without any precautions."
