The group was preparing to visit Tu Shanyu when the female official quickly reported that their king was unwell and unable to personally see them off. She wished them a safe journey and said they would meet again at the royal court.
"Not feeling well?" Upon hearing this reason, the girls all looked at Zu An in unison.
Zu An's expression changed: "Why are you all looking at me?"
The girls chuckled. This guy had been strictly adhering to male virtues all day yesterday, and hadn't even spoken to Tu Shanyu. How could it have anything to do with him?
"Since Sister Yu is unwell, we won't disturb you any longer. Please pass on our message that she should rest and recuperate properly." Yu Yanluo was not impolite and took out some calming and nourishing herbs from the snake clan from her storage bag to give to the other party.

The fat Taoist priest's words about a "peach blossom calamity" came to mind again, and they hurriedly asked each other what it meant.
Zuan felt a chill run down his spine. One lie requires countless more to cover it up, but these women were among the smartest people in the world.
Just when they were about to be exposed and didn't know what to do, a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside:
