End of the You hour (5-7 PM).
Previously, Shui Mu Yin Ji, who was in Chu Qinghe Courtyard, has returned to the courtyard that Shenshui Palace just bought yesterday.
The disciples of the Divine Water Palace guarding the area looked at the Water Mother Yin Ji sitting in the courtyard with expressions of astonishment and surprise.
The fact that Jellyfish Yin Ji had previously gone mad with evil spirits was no secret within the Divine Water Palace.
Many of the disciples knew this.
Not to mention the disciples of the Divine Water Palace who were brought out by the Water Mother Yin Ji.
Therefore, one can imagine the astonishment of the disciples of the Divine Water Palace when they saw that the Water Mother Yin Ji, who was tall and veiled before going out today, had returned with her former stunning beauty and graceful figure.
If it were before, and if any other disciple in the Divine Water Palace dared to frequently cast their gaze upon her, the Water Mother Yin Ji would probably already be filled with rising anger.
At this moment, however, Shui Mu Yin Ji was completely unaware of the gazes of the disciples around her.
Women dress up for those who appreciate them; good-looking people never care about others' gazes on them.
Only when her beauty fades, like before when Jellyfish Princess Yin lost her former glory, would she easily become angry because of other people's gaze.
At this very moment, the jellyfish Yin Ji sat in front of the stone table.
Sometimes she would look at her stunningly beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror on the table, and sometimes she would rest her chin on her hand and look towards Chu Qinghe's courtyard.
Sometimes, Chu Qinghe's handsome face and gentle smile would appear in her mind, and sometimes, she would see the resolute and focused look on Chu Qinghe's face as he treated her.
Thinking deeply, Shui Mu Yin Ji suddenly recalled the hand that Chu Qing He had placed on her when he shattered her sternum, and a hint of shyness appeared in Shui Mu Yin Ji's eyes again.
Bathed in the bright light that was just like that in Chu Qinghe's courtyard, Shui Mu Yin Ji's ears turned slightly red.
But the smile on his lips lingered for a long time.
Just as Jellyfish Yin Ji was lost in thought, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the side.
Then, an elder from the Divine Water Palace walked up behind Water Mother Yin Ji and bowed, saying, "Palace Master."
Hearing the voice behind her, Jellyfish Yin Princess raised her hand and waved it lightly.
However, even as she moved, Jellyfish Yin Ji's face remained turned towards Chu Qinghe's courtyard.
After the elder behind him stood up, he immediately said, "Just as the Palace Master expected, one of the disciples of the Divine Water Palace who was brought out this time secretly recorded the news that the Palace Master's appearance had been restored and wanted to pass it on."
Jellyfish Yin Ji asked, "To whom was the message sent?"
The elder of Shenshui Palace said, "I don't know. Even after interrogation, the traitor did not confess."
Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji frowned and said, "Wasn't the message sent to the Hundred Knowledge Hall?"
The elder of Shenshui Palace shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Other traitors in the palace who cooperated with Baixiaotang before weren't this tough."
Upon learning that the message wasn't intended for Baixiaotang, Shuimu Yinji seemed to lose interest.
After refocusing his gaze on Chu Qinghe's courtyard, he said leisurely, "I didn't expect that after obtaining this identity jade token, the people in the palace who had connections with Baixiaotang disappeared, but people from other forces were brought out."
Then, Shuimu Yinji said, "After removing the information related to Young Master Chu from the message, let her pass it on. Then have someone follow her to see who planted the spy in my Divine Water Palace."
The elder of Shenshui Palace bowed and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
After a pause, the elder of Shenshui Palace continued, "In addition, Zhou Xiuxiu, who accompanied the Palace Master to Chu Qinghe, reported that after the Palace Master fainted in Chu Qinghe's courtyard, she was also drugged and lost consciousness. I am worried that the man in Chu Qinghe may have ulterior motives!"
"Um?"
Just as the elder of the Divine Water Palace made his suggestion, Jellyfish Yin Ji's face, which had been smiling sweetly, instantly darkened.
Despite the fact that the Water Mother Yin Ji made no move, the elder of the Divine Water Palace was suddenly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Injured, the disciple of the Divine Water Palace looked up and saw that the Water Mother Yin Ji, who had just had a sweet smile on her face, now had a face as gloomy as water.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent, exuding a chilling aura.
Faced with this scene, the elder of Shenshui Palace immediately knelt down and said, "This subordinate misspoke, please forgive me, Palace Master."
As he spoke, the elder of the Divine Water Palace slammed his head on the ground, cold sweat quickly dripping from his forehead onto the ground.
Seeing this, the Water Mother Yin Ji said coldly, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you off the hook. But if I hear even the slightest word of slander against Young Master Chu again, you'll die!"
The last word "death" felt like a cold knife forged from ten thousand years of ice, stabbing fiercely into the heart of the Divine Water Palace elder, causing his body to tremble violently.
He quickly replied, "I understand, I understand."
Then, Jellyfish Yin Ji coldly said, "Get out!"
After the elder of the Divine Water Palace left, Water Mother Yin Ji let out a cold snort.
However, as she looked back at Chu Qinghe with her hand supporting her cheek, the coldness and killing intent on Shuimu Yinji's face melted away as quickly as spring snow.
He kept muttering to himself.
"How about we send the news of my restored appearance to Bai Xiaotang? They actually removed me from the Hundred Flowers Ranking. If we find out where you, Bai Xiaosheng, are one day, I won't be able to get rid of this anger until I give you a good beating."
"However, given the capabilities of the Hundred Knowledge Hall, if they find out that I have regained my appearance, they will definitely investigate this Yushui City. What if it implicates Young Master Chu then?"
"Forget it, since my appearance has been restored anyway, the Hundred Flowers Ranking isn't important. It's better not to expose Young Master Chu."
