Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples couldn't help but smile behind his veil.

A thought couldn't help but surface in my mind.

"What an honest man."

If the constables nearby knew what the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciple was thinking at that moment, they would probably roll their eyes again.

Then, the Shenshui Palace disciple leading the group said, "A few days ago, your maidservant captured a flower thief and took him to the government office to collect the reward. However, this flower thief stole an item from my sect. We would like to trouble you to lead the way so that we can see your maidservant and ask her about it."

Hearing what the disciple of the Divine Water Palace said, Chu Qinghe thought to himself, "Oh ho!"

"They really did steal something from the Divine Water Palace."

However, after confirming the purpose of the Divine Water Palace disciple, Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "In that case, ladies, please come with me."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe also gave the group a smile.

The leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples nodded slightly upon hearing this, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, young master."

Chu Qinghe said, "You're too kind, ladies, please."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe flicked his sleeves and led the way.

Several disciples of the Divine Water Palace quickly followed.

As they walked, the group would occasionally glance at Chu Qinghe.

Looking at the handsome and extraordinary Chu Qinghe, these disciples of the Divine Water Palace inexplicably felt that the air seemed sweeter.

As they walked, the disciples of the Divine Water Palace forgot that there was a constable behind them.

Seeing that Chu Qinghe and his disciples from the Divine Water Palace had already gone far away, the constable who had been standing still since the beginning couldn't help but mutter, "A bunch of good-looking bastards, and they call themselves top-tier forces? I'm not going to serve them anymore."

After saying that, the constable turned and left in a huff.

After all, if you're just doing a errand and you get insulted without even realizing it, anyone would be angry.

Then, led by Chu Qinghe, the group arrived at the door of Chu Qinghe's house.

As soon as Chu Qinghe reached the door, under the watchful eyes of several Shenshui Palace disciples, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying, "I'm back, open the door."

As the sound entered the courtyard, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, who were cultivating, opened their eyes and frowned slightly.

Xiao Zhao, who was in the kitchen, looked at Qu Feiyan, who was chopping vegetables, and asked, "Feiyan, did you lock the door when you came back?"

Qu Feiyan was taken aback and said, "No? Why would I lock the door if the young master hasn't returned yet?"

Xiao Zhao asked, puzzled, "Then why didn't you just come in after knocking?"

Qu Feiyan pondered for a moment and then muttered, "Something's not right. With Young Master's lightness skill, he could have jumped in even without opening the door. Could something have happened?"

After saying that, Qu Feiyan quickly put down the kitchen knife and rushed out of the kitchen.

In contrast, in the courtyard, Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai, after listening to the conversation in the kitchen, raised their eyebrows slightly and stopped circulating their inner energy.

As soon as Qu Feiyan entered the courtyard, Dongfang Bubai immediately said, "Go open the door, something must have happened."

As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai walked toward the stone bench.

Upon seeing this, Yaoyue also flashed and sat down on the stone bench.

A few moments later, as Qu Feiyan walked to the front gate, the little girl noticed that the door bolt was not fastened and realized that something was wrong.

As the door opened, Qu Feiyan exclaimed "Oh wow!" upon seeing Chu Qinghe and several Shenshui Palace disciples standing outside, immediately understanding the situation.

Upon seeing Qu Feiyan again, the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples nodded slightly and said, "Little sister, we meet again."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan quickly smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, sisters!"

As she spoke, Qu Feiyan also looked at Chu Qinghe.

Faced with Qu Feiyan's questioning gaze, Chu Qinghe gently closed his eyes and slightly tilted his head.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan suppressed her urge to attack and stepped aside to let Chu Qinghe and the others in.

After several disciples of the Divine Water Palace followed Chu Qinghe into the courtyard, Qu Feiyan closed the door, bolted it, and checked to see if it was fastened securely.

When Chu Qinghe led the group into the courtyard, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue raised their eyebrows slightly upon seeing him return with several women after leaving alone, but quickly looked away.

Similarly, the Shenshui Palace disciples who entered the inner courtyard at this moment also saw Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue sitting under the tree.

When their gazes fell upon the two women, these disciples of the Divine Water Palace, though all female, were still stunned by their beauty.

After entering the inner courtyard, Chu Qinghe called out softly to the kitchen.

"Xiao Zhao".

Hearing the sound, Xiao Zhao quickly came out of the kitchen.

Amid Xiao Zhao's confusion, Chu Qinghe pointed to the Shenshui Palace disciples beside him and said, "These young ladies have something to ask you, so please cooperate."

Looking at Xiao Zhao, who was strikingly beautiful and possessed a distinctly exotic charm, the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples asked, "Officer Zhao, is this the young lady?"

However, after several breaths passed, there was no response.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples frowned and turned to look.

But after scanning the area, they still couldn't spot the constable from before.

How could someone so big and strong suddenly disappear?
