Seeing their guilty expressions, Nanzhi felt certain that they were hiding something from her.

She immediately looked stern.

"Did you sneak out of the city again?"

Lin Zihan pursed his lips and stepped forward.

Yuanbao, the youngest, spoke in a soft voice when he noticed that Nanzhi was mad.

Nanzhi felt a headache rising when seeing the mischievous kids.

She had ordered to block all the dog holes on the city wall when the Rat Plague broke out in town. How can they still find a way out?

After only a moment of thought, Nanzhi turned her gaze to Xiaomi who was standing aside.
