"Dead."

Yun Xuchen's light words shook the chopsticks out of Liang Meng's hand.

"What did you say?"

Liang Meng held the bowl and stared at Yun Xuchen with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

Zhuo Mu is dead? This... Zhuo Mu, who seemed so innocent as a child, is dead?!

Although she had not been in contact with Zhumu for a long time and the two of them did not have any deep feelings for each other, when Liang Meng heard that Zhumu had died, her heart ached and she felt suffocated.

His face, which had been rosy just a moment ago, suddenly turned as pale as paper. His back was slightly bent, and his elbows were resting on the stone table, as if he could not bear the pain.

Seeing Liang Meng in such pain, Yun Xuchen didn't dare to say another word. He could only lower his head to hide all the distress in his eyes.

Make yourself look the same as usual.

"Then...what about the bamboo man and the veiled woman?"

When Liang Meng thought of the murderer who caused Zhuomu's death, he knew it had to be those two people.

Liang Meng's sad expression suddenly turned fierce. She wanted to kill them to avenge Zhuomu.

"Dead."

Same answer as Zhuo Mu.

Liang Meng was not happy at all after hearing this. On the contrary, he felt very sorry that he had not avenged Zhuo Mu himself.

As if he could see what Liang Meng was thinking, Yun Xuchen pondered for a moment and then told Liang Meng the news that shocked him.

"Does the Hall Master know who those two people are?"

"Hmm? Those two? The bamboo man and the veiled woman?"

Yun Xuchen didn't say anything and nodded.

"I heard from Shiye that they are from the Eldar tribe."

"yes."

Yun Xuchen nodded and asked another question.

"Does the Hall Master know their identities as members of the Spirit Clan?"

Liang Meng really didn't know. She looked at Yun Xuchen and shook her head. However, she didn't take her eyes off Yun Xuchen. She stared at him without blinking, waiting for his next answer.

"The bamboo-stalked man the hall master mentioned is the left protector of Lingyou, the lord of the spirit race. Although his spiritual power is not very profound, he is extremely insidious and cunning."

"And the veiled woman the hall master mentioned is the right guardian of Lingyou, the lord of the spirit race. Her spiritual power is much higher than that of the left guardian."

Liang Meng nodded and said with some sudden enlightenment.

"Lingyou's right-hand man."

However, the strength of this spirit race is not that good. The master has been suppressed, and his left and right arms are dead.

Then the remaining little Lou Luos are even more useless.

"yes."

Yun Xuchen seemed hesitant again and asked.

"Master... do you want to know who that woman is?"

"kindness?"

Liang Meng looked at Yun Xuchen in confusion. She didn't understand why Yun Xuchen asked that. Didn't he just say that the woman was Lingyou's right protector?

Why am I asking myself this question again?

Wait, wait, could it be...

"I know that woman, right?"

"yes."

"Who is it?"

Liang Meng leaned forward, her fingers unconsciously grasping Yun Xuchen's sleeve. Yun Xuchen looked down at the white fingertips and suppressed the trembling in his heart.

"Water Lady."

"who?"

At such a close distance, Yun Xuchen's voice was clearly audible. However, Liang Meng seemed not to understand. He frowned slightly, looked at Yun Xuchen with great confusion, and asked again.

"Water Lady."

Yun Xuchen's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Liang Meng and repeated it again.

"What did you say?"

Liang Meng's confused and doubtful eyes gradually turned into disbelief, and then gradually became fierce.

She really couldn't believe that Shui Niang was actually a member of the Spirit Tribe. That enchanting and passionate woman was actually a member of the Spirit Tribe.

She's always been so close to Yunmeng Hall, even coming and going freely there many times. Yet, nothing has happened. What's the purpose of Shui Niang...?

Hey, that's not right.

"You...did you already know that Shui Niang is from the Spirit Tribe?"

After Liang Meng finished asking, she kept staring into Yun Xuchen's eyes. Yun Xuchen looked up and met Liang Meng's gaze calmly. There was no evasion or concealment in his eyes.

"yes."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

Liang Meng suddenly jumped up, his voice high and stern. He regretted it right after he finished speaking, mainly because he was a bit cowardly. Although he was the hall master, Liang Meng had never yelled at Yun Xuchen like this before.

Yun Xuchen lowered his head and said nothing. He paused for a moment while eating and then returned to normal.

However, Liang Meng slowly sat back on the stone bench in Yun Xuchen's silence.

He hunched his shoulders and swallowed hard, then quietly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate in small bites, trying not to make any noise.

Woohoo, the hall master lives such a humble life.

"Have a good rest tonight, and we will go back tomorrow."

Liang Meng was already fully awake, so it was naturally impossible for Yun Xuchen to go into the room to accompany her.

Yun Xuchen stopped Liang Meng from clearing the dishes and said something to Liang Meng while cleaning with his head down.

The question about Shui Niang just now passed like this. Liang Meng wanted to ask again, but Yun Xuchen looked so cold that she was not sure he would tell her.

Liang Meng didn't say anything, but nodded silently. Then she looked at Yun Xuchen, who was looking down and couldn't see, and murmured "yes" again.

"The hall master is not well yet, it's better for him to rest early."

The meal was originally cooked by Yun Xuchen, and Liang Meng wanted to wash the dishes herself, but Yun Xuchen stopped her in a not-so-gentle manner, so Liang Meng did not insist.

Seeing Yun Xuchen carrying the dishes and chopsticks into the side room, Liang Meng tightened the long gown draped over his shoulders, and without staying any longer, turned and walked towards the main hall.

Although I lay down on the bed, the news I just heard was too shocking. In addition, I had just woken up and had eaten so much, so it was normal that I couldn't sleep.
