"These two children are indeed a good match." The more the Hua family head looked at Liuyue, the more satisfied he became.

He nodded approvingly. Although his background was somewhat inferior, he was a blank slate, which was exactly what the Hua family needed.

Looking across the entire Hua family, and even the Azure Dragon Realm, there is no child as outstanding and exceptional as Jun Qing! If he could be taken as a son-in-law, that would be absolutely perfect.

Liu Yue was unaware of the thoughts in the Hua family head's mind and took her seat directly.

The maidservant walked to his side and filled his teacup: "Please have some tea, young master."

"Thank you." Liu Yue nodded slightly, her slender fingers holding the teacup.

"It's what this servant should do," the maid said respectfully, stepping aside.

During the banquet, the sounds of string and wind instruments filled the air, and singing and dancing filled the air.

Liu Yue sensed countless gazes focused on her. She subtly glanced at the Hua family head in the high position. The divine beast jade should be in the Hua family.

The maidservant stepped forward again, but at that moment, she slipped and spilled all the tea onto Liuyue's clothes.

"This servant deserves to die!"

The maid knelt down in terror, her hand holding the teapot trembling.

"What's all this commotion about?" The head of the Hua family also noticed the commotion. To be precise, he hadn't missed a single move Liu Yue made.

"It was my mistake that I spilled the tea on Young Master Jun. I deserve to die!"

The maidservant said, trembling.

"It's alright. May I ask the head of the family for a place to change my clothes?"

Liu Yue's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she said with a smile.

"Of course," the Hua family head hurriedly replied, about to instruct a servant to take Liuyue away.

Liu Yue said, "Let her take me there."

"Young Master Jun has spoken, why don't you get up and lead the way?" The head of the Hua family frowned as he looked at the maid. She was truly a useless thing, good for nothing, and couldn't even pour tea properly.

"Yes, Young Master Jun, please follow me." The maid glanced gratefully at Liu Yue. If Liu Yue hadn't let her lead the way, she would probably have been dragged away and beaten to death by now.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Liu Yue nodded slightly and left her seat with the maid.

The maid led Liuyue to the backyard of the Hua residence. The backyard and the frontyard were two completely separate places, separated by a barrier.

Just as Liu Yue had guessed, there were arrays everywhere here! Although she could break these arrays, it would take a lot of time and would also attract unnecessary trouble.

The maid led Liuyue to a courtyard. "Young master, would you like me to help you change your clothes?"

"No need, you can wait here." Liu Yue nodded slightly, then turned and went into the house.

The maid took a step back. "Yes, young master."

Looking at Liuyue's back, I was filled with gratitude.

After closing the door, Liu Yue looked around. It was nothing special; there were no mechanisms or barriers.

Walking to the window, I looked out and saw a small, gently flowing stream.

"Xiao Luo."

With a pale hand on the windowsill, Liu Yue pulled Xiao Luo, who was sleeping in the coffin, out with a thought.

"Disturbing my peaceful sleep." Xiao Luo rubbed her temples and yawned.

Before he could even wake up, Liuyue tossed him a piece of clothing: "Do me a favor."

"You want me to impersonate you?" Xiao Luo's eyes widened: "I..."

"I believe you can do it!" Liu Yue tossed a human skin mask to Xiao Luo, and before the latter could speak, she leaped into the air, her toes barely touching the surface of the stream before disappearing in an instant.

Standing there, Xiao Luo held the clothes in disarray...

Is this some kind of rip-off?!

Outside the door, the maid was still waiting, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer.

Xiao Luo had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on the clothes and the human skin mask.

It has to be said that when this human skin mask is put on, it looks exactly like Liu Yue herself. Except for very close people who can recognize her aura, ordinary people can't tell at all!

However, everyone at the Hua family banquet was a stranger, so Xiao Luo was not afraid of being discovered even though she was disguised.

The person who came was Hua Yun'er.

Just as she was about to push the door open, it opened from the inside.

"Junqing, I thought..."

Seeing Jun Qing inside, Hua Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were lost, so I came to find you!"

"Thank you." Xiao Luo mimicked Liu Yue's voice, which was almost identical to hers.

Seeing that the young man did not resist her approach, Hua Yun'er reached out and took his hand.

Xiao Luo has lived for over a thousand years and is skilled at killing, but he has seen fewer women than he has eaten meat!

"What's wrong?" Hua Yun'er looked at the boy in confusion.

"It's nothing." Xiao Luo almost couldn't hold back, and nodded stiffly as Hua Yun'er took her hand.

Hua Yun'er was overjoyed; Jun Qing really didn't dislike being around her!

Meanwhile, Liu Yue had already concealed her presence and sneaked into the study of the Hua family head.

A square table was placed on the right side of the room, and Liuyue spread out her divine sense.

No trace of the Divine Beast Jade could be found in the study.

The Divine Beast Jade is equivalent to the core of a divine beast. Without the Divine Beast Jade, the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise cannot unleash their true power. Therefore, whether for He Canglan or for the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise, she must obtain the Divine Beast Jade as soon as possible.

Liu Yue had carefully searched every corner of the house, but found not a trace of any aura.

"Damn it, where on earth is it hidden?" Liu Yue muttered.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

From afar, it drew nearer and nearer—

Liu Yue recalled the route she had taken earlier, and she was certain that she had not triggered any mechanisms or barriers.

What exactly has alerted the Hua family? Liu Yue's mind raced—

As the footsteps grew closer, the door was opened from the outside.

The house was empty.

Liu Yue flashed into the space, concealing her aura. When she saw the person who entered, she breathed a sigh of relief. This person was not the head of the Hua family!

It was Hua Zixing, the eldest son of the Hua family head.

Hanako searched around for a while, seemingly looking for something.

Then, walking to the bookshelf, he took a few books, and a black jade stone suddenly appeared.

Liu Yue understood; she had indeed overlooked the dark room!

How could the study of the dignified head of the Hua family not have one or two hidden doors?

For these large families, these secret doors are their escape route should they encounter any danger!

Hanako twisted the black crystal, and a rumbling, deep sound came from behind the bookshelf. Then, the bookshelf split in two and slowly opened.

A secret passage, just wide enough for one person to pass through, was revealed. Upon seeing this, Hua Zixing's expression lit up with joy: "I knew Father must have hidden the treasure here."

A few days ago, Hua Zixing overheard his father and the Grand Elder talking about something that could freely travel between the Canglong Realm and Canglan.

Although the head of the Hua family intended to hide it, he still remembered it! He had been searching for the whereabouts of that treasure for the past few days, and had searched everywhere else, except for the study!

He knew about this hidden door when he was eight years old! The treasure must be hidden here.
