Tu Shanyu then took the opportunity to invite them to stay overnight in the palace.

The girls, who had been somewhat relaxed, immediately tensed up: "They're here!"

Seeing Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen exchanging glances until their eyelids were practically twitching, Yu Yanluo chuckled inwardly. After getting to know them better, she realized they weren't like the fearsome grandmasters they were used to; instead, they seemed more like two young girls.

She politely declined, saying, "No need. I still have some attendants outside, and they will worry if there is no news for a long time. Besides, I have to set off for the royal court tomorrow morning, so I won't disturb the king any longer."

Tu Shanyu laughed and said, "That's easy. I'll send someone to settle my sister's subordinates. Recently, some things have happened in Qingqiu. There will be a curfew in the city at night. If you go out now, you probably won't even be able to find an inn. There are plenty of rooms in this palace. It's better for you to stay here than to rest in an inn outside."

The girls thought to themselves that it was because they couldn't get a good rest in this fox den.

Zuan secretly transmitted his voice, "Ask her what's been happening in the country lately?"

The women nodded in satisfaction, seemingly pleased that he adhered to male virtues and did not speak to other women.

Yan Xuehen spoke up, voicing everyone's doubts.

Tu Shanyu explained, "Recently, there have been rumors that a great treasure will appear in the Qingqiu Mountains, attracting experts from all races. That's why I had to stay here for a few more days before heading to the royal court."

"A priceless treasure?" The group seemed to be deep in thought.

"These are all hearsay. If there were truly a great treasure, wouldn't our Qingqiu Kingdom know about it? We would have dug it up long ago." Tu Shanyu looked at the group. "To me, you distinguished guests are the most precious treasures."

Even though she knew the other person was praising her, she still felt that the fat Taoist priest's divination earlier made her think that the priest had ulterior motives.

Just as she was about to refuse, Tu Shanyu said, "I just heard you mention the Qingluo Flower. There aren't many left in the country. There might be some left in the palace. I'll have someone check, and it should be delivered to you all by tomorrow morning. If you leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you and that would be impolite."

The group exchanged glances. Well, if they could use this to lure them in, then they would have no choice but to stay for the night.

However, when it came to assigning rooms, a problem arose. The palace was full of women, so it was fine for Yu Yanluo and the other women to stay there, but it was a bit inconvenient for Zu An, who was a man.
