The gardeners' territory, having lost its lord, can temporarily serve as a hiding place for Lu Li and Claire.
Although they could also hide in the woodshed, the limited view there would mean they could only escape through a hidden passage if discovered, losing their chance entirely.
Moreover, the gardeners' territory is adjacent to the woods.
Lu Li and Claire quietly walked through the Fluorescent Withered Forest. Shadows of withered branches reached out towards their oblivious backs, assisting in covering the tiny traces left behind.
"How did you manage that?"
"Managed what, drawing the gardener?"
"Hmm."
"I just made it think I stole its treasure chest." Claire hovered above Lu Li, "Why would I fly around with a big, heavy chest? I already hid it somewhere."
"Treasure chest?"
"Interested? I could take you there..."
