Li Mingke endured the night and finally made it to evening.

She was so curious, so eager to see for herself. Going during the day would attract attention and might get her noticed by Immortal Venerable Jinyun, so why not go at night?

Let's do it!

However, since it's such a secluded place, deliberately designed to remain undiscovered, it must have something special about it, and it's definitely the work of her master! If she were caught by her master, the consequences would probably be more than she could bear!

So she decided to disguise herself and dress up.

After thinking for a moment, she took off the disguise bead from her neck, instantly transforming from a male to a female. She then found a dress she had been keeping at the bottom of her trunk, but since she didn't know how to comb her hair, she simply grabbed a hairband and tied it up, then put a mask on her face.

Okay, if Jinyun Immortal Venerable discovers her, she'll run away immediately. Anyway, in everyone's eyes, she's a man, and no one will ever associate her with him!

So, taking advantage of the darkness, she tiptoed to the front of Shuying Pavilion.

"From the outside, it looks like a huge empty lot!"

Honestly, who would notice these broken rocks and trees? Nobody cares at all, right?

She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and burst into the seal in one breath.

Smooth and uninterrupted!

"They actually got in like that?" she exclaimed in surprise.

The scene before her eyes completely stunned her.

Even at night, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the scene before my eyes is like a paradise. A bright moon hangs in the sky, illuminating everything that is both ordinary and extraordinary.

"What a nice view……"

She reached out and touched the trunk of the plum tree. The texture was completely real, just like an ordinary plum tree. She then plucked a petal and found it soft and moist.

She soon noticed something unusual, because there was no wind and everything was completely still.

"That's incredible!" She quickly realized that time had been frozen here by special means, and the one who could do this was definitely her master.

She wandered around the yard for a while before going into the inner room.

"Wow--"

Having grown up in such luxury as the young master of the Li family, she thought she had seen all sorts of treasures. But seeing the scene before her, she realized how shallow she was.

It was entirely a woman's private quarters. As soon as she entered the room, she seemed to smell a warm fragrance. There was nothing ordinary in sight. Her eyes lit up. She looked left and right, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"That's too extravagant!" Li Mingke never expected that the word "extravagant" would actually come out of her mouth.

"Let's decorate Yue'er's room like this from now on!"

She immediately thought of her younger sister, Li Pinyue. Anyway, her sister always did what she wanted, and she could use the excuse of visiting her sister to go to her often!

She was making precise calculations in her mind.

Then she saw a piece of paper with a poem written on it on it on the desk.

"Huh, it's Master's handwriting! Could it be a poem he wrote? Let me see!"

She read it aloud, word by word:

"The wispy clouds weave patterns, the shooting stars convey sorrow, and the Milky Way stretches far and wide in the dark. A single meeting in the golden autumn breeze and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world."

Tender feelings flow like water, a beautiful time like a dream, how can I bear to look back on the road to the Magpie Bridge? If our love is destined to last forever…

"Strange, isn't this a poem by the great poet Qin? And why isn't it finished?"

She happened to see a calligraphy brush lying nearby, the ink still wet, so she couldn't resist picking it up and quickly writing:

"Why should we care about being together every day and night?"

"That's more like it!"

But as soon as she finished writing, she realized she had messed up. "Oh my god, what am I doing? Am I just giving myself a handle to use against me? The handwriting is completely different; people will notice immediately!"

If Master sees this, he will definitely recognize it!

What to do, what to do!

Just as she was pacing around anxiously like an ant on a hot pan, she caught sight of a fish tank with lotus leaves floating in the corner.

Yes, just throw the paper into the fish tank, and once it gets wet, you won't be able to see it anymore.

She grabbed the paper with the poem written on it and jumped to the fish tank in two quick steps.

Even the fish in the aquarium are motionless, hidden under the lotus leaves, resembling a picture of fish playing among the lotus leaves.

Just as she was about to put the paper with the poem on it into the fish tank, she heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

Li Mingke: !!!

Why would anyone come here? No, it's definitely Master! Why would he suddenly come here in the middle of the night?!

After returning from Shuying Pavilion, Immortal Venerable Jinyun was restless and his mind was in turmoil. One moment he was thinking about his past with Lin Banjian, the next he was thinking about the darkness of her death, and then he was thinking about He Banjian at the blessing ceremony a few days ago. He couldn't sleep at night, so to calm his mind, he went for a walk and ended up back at Shuying Pavilion.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Li Mingke, who was bent over and stiffly standing by the water tank.

The two locked eyes.

"..."

If Li Mingke weren't wearing a mask, Immortal Venerable Jinyun would definitely have seen the muscles on her face trembling, and of course, Immortal Venerable Jinyun's expression wouldn't have been much better.

Immortal Venerable Jinyun regained his senses almost instantly.

"Halfway there!"

Oh no!

Li Mingke was about to burst into tears. Why did he get caught red-handed?!

Her eyes darted around, searching for an escape route.

The moment her master entered, there was no way she could get out through the main entrance! What about the windows? Right, she could jump out the window!

She immediately made a plan, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the poem in her hand hadn't been processed yet!

This piece of paper must be destroyed first!

"Half-sighted, you've finally arrived!" Jinyun Immortal Venerable was so excited he was about to cry, and he strode towards Li Mingke.

No, you can't come over!

"Half-meeting, I've missed you so much. Can you talk to me?" Jinyun Immortal Venerable said as he approached her.

Of course I can't say that! Saying it would give me away! Also, could you please not come any closer?

She didn't care about anything else, threw the paper into the water tank, and then ran towards the window.

Jinyun Immortal Venerable thought that Banjian was not speaking because she was nervous or for other reasons, but he did not expect that she would throw down what she was holding and run away.

He immediately went to take the paper, which gave Li Mingke time to escape.

Unfortunately, he was too late; the paper was already mostly soaked.

He realized the man was trying to escape, and without caring about what he was holding, he went straight to grab him.

We absolutely cannot let Banjian leave again! If she leaves this time, where will he find her next time?

Li Mingke used almost the fastest speed she had ever run in her life. She had never run this fast before, even when her mother, Li Zengqing, was chasing and beating her!

If you're caught by your own mother, you might at most get a beating, but if you're caught by Immortal Venerable Jinyun, you might not be able to save your life!

Li Mingke seized the opportunity and jumped out of the window immediately.

"etc!"

But the person had already jumped out of the window.

Her soft hair brushed against his hand, leaving a brief fragrance on his fingertips, but Jinyun Immortal Venerable only grasped her hair ribbon.

Her long hair, flowing like a waterfall, cascaded down in an instant, disturbing the mind of the Immortal Venerable Jinyun.

She seemed to be telling him that he could never hold onto her.

In a moment of stunned silence, the person had already run far away.

Immortal Venerable Jinyun immediately jumped out of the window as well.

He could see a graceful figure moving among the flowers, plum blossoms blooming behind her, green clouds swirling around her, her clothes fluttering, like a goddess who had mistakenly entered the mortal world and then hurriedly departed.

"Half-seen—"

His beloved didn't stop; instead, she ran further and further away.

Finally, the woman stepped out of the barrier, and her figure vanished instantly.

"Halfway through..."

The only response he received was a discarded hairband.
