"However, Xiao Zhao seems a bit simple-minded, like a maid. She's also inseparable from Qu Feiyan, so it's not easy to make a move against her."

"In that case, the only way to get information is to start with that Sister Situ."

As Wanwan's thoughts raced, she was completely unaware that a drop of water had materialized out of thin air near her ear.

The next second, as this drop of water, accompanied by a special force, landed on Wanwan...

Behind her ear, Wanwan, whose mind had been racing with thoughts, suddenly felt her brain stop working.

As Wanwan fell asleep, a special kind of true energy swept in from outside the window and then lifted the blanket next to Wanwan, covering her body.

After a few breaths, Wanwan's breathing gradually became longer and more even.

Thus, on her first day in the courtyard, Wanwan began to enjoy Chu Qinghe's special sleep-inducing treatment.

...

The next day.

Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

As the sunlight streamed into the courtyard, the door opened, and Wanwan, still half-asleep, emerged from her room.

When I came out of the room, Lin Shiyin was already pruning the plants in the yard as usual, and the sound of chopping vegetables on the cutting board was coming from the kitchen.

Upon entering the courtyard, Wanwan immediately smelled the distinctive aroma of burning firewood wafting from the kitchen.

Looking at Wanwan, Lin Shiyin smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well last night, Miss Wanwan?"

Upon hearing Lin Shiyin's question, Wanwan nodded gently and said, "Not bad!"

When responding to Lin Shiyin, Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

It's not that what Wanwan said to Lin Shiyin was false; on the contrary, it was precisely because it was the truth that Wanwan felt something was amiss.

It should be noted that Wanwan has lived in the dangerous Yin Kui Sect since childhood. Although she usually seems quite casual, she is actually extremely vigilant.

When I'm outside, I always maintain a certain level of vigilance, and I'll be alerted at the slightest disturbance.

But yesterday, Wanwan fell asleep shortly after lying down in her room.

And she slept quite soundly.

When I woke up, it was already broad daylight outside.

Such sound sleep is clearly not right.

As my gaze swept over the plants in the yard and the enormous camellia beside it, I couldn't help but wonder, "Could these plants in the yard have a calming and sleep-inducing effect?"

However, before Wanwan could think further, Lin Shiyin took the initiative to lead Wanwan into the kitchen.

A few moments later, just as Wanwan was brushing her teeth with the new toothbrush Lin Shiyin had given her and sleepily walked out of the kitchen, she saw Jellyfish Yinji, who had finished washing up, leap up and jump onto a plant.

Then, streams of true energy, like rivers, instantly flowed out from the body of the Water Mother Yin Ji.

The fluctuations of true energy from the late Grandmaster realm caused Wanwan's eyes to widen instantly, and her remaining sleepiness vanished completely.

"Late-stage Grandmaster realm?"

The toothbrush she was holding also fell from her hand in surprise.

Just as the toothbrush was about to hit the ground, a stream of water suddenly condensed in the air, wrapped around the toothbrush, and suspended it in front of Wanwan.

At the same time, the jellyfish-like Yin Ji flashed to the front of Wanwan and asked with concern, "Wanwan, are you feeling unwell? Why did you drop your toothbrush?"

Looking at the concerned Jellyfish Yin Ji in front of her, Wanwan swallowed the toothpaste powder that Chu Qinghe had made specifically for brushing teeth and shook her head, saying, "No, it was just an accident. Sister Situ, you continue your cultivation."

Seeing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji smiled and nodded before flashing back into the courtyard.

A few breaths later, after confirming once again that the true energy fluctuations on Shuimu Yinji's body were indeed the unique true energy fluctuations of a late-stage Grandmaster realm martial artist, Wanwan's eyes unconsciously carried a hint of bewilderment.

After calming down a bit, Wanwan looked at the jellyfish Yin Ji in the distance and her mind started to race.

"Among the experts in the Great Ming Dynasty who have reached the Grandmaster level, and are also so young and beautiful, there seem to be only Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult, Yaoyue, the Grand Palace Master of the Yihua Palace, and Shuimu Yinji, the Palace Master of the Divine Water Palace."

"According to Bai Xiaosheng's descriptions of the Hundred Flowers Ranking and the Grandmaster Ranking, Dongfang Bubai is said to prefer red robes and act domineeringly, so that shouldn't be the case. Yaoyue from Yihua Palace has an arrogant personality, which doesn't match Sister Situ either."

"And the Water Mother Yin Ji of the Divine Water Palace... seems to have only just entered the early stage of the Grandmaster realm this year, which doesn't match up with Sister Situ's late stage Grandmaster realm!"

After this process of elimination, Wanwan suddenly walked to Lin Shiyin's side and whispered, "Is Sister Situ the Palace Master of the Divine Water Palace?"

Hearing Wanwan's question, Lin Shiyin smiled and said, "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Wanwan's eyes widened. "It really is."

After confirming the identity of the Water Mother Yin Ji, Wanwan couldn't help but turn her head to take another look at the Water Mother Yin Ji in the courtyard, and her expression instantly became strange.

Just last night, Wanwan's conclusion was still that Shuimu Yinji was the best person to recruit into the Yin Gui Sect from Chu Qinghe's courtyard.

But now...

Looking at the jellyfish-like Yin Ji in the courtyard, whose true energy was condensed and flowed around her body like water, Wanwan felt that her understanding of the jellyfish-like Yin Ji was slightly off.

As Wanwan pondered the matter, a deep sense of dread crept into her eyes when she looked at the Water Mother Yin Ji.

As someone who could become the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, Wanwan was certainly not a fool.

Although they were in the Tang Dynasty, they had a certain understanding of top-level forces like the Divine Water Palace.

Naturally, he knew how difficult it was to become the master of the Divine Water Palace.

Therefore, someone like the Water Mother Yin Princess would not be easily abducted.

Upon realizing this, Wanwan was filled with a deep sense of shock.

"This woman is really good at hiding her true nature!"

At that moment, Wanwan suddenly realized just how deep the waters were on the Ming Dynasty side.
