After saying that, Qu Feiyan waved to Qu Yang and then quickly turned around.
Watching Qu Feiyan leave, Qu Yang also quickened his pace and walked to the alley entrance.
After watching Qu Feiyan enter a house, he withdrew his gaze and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
.........
As noon approached, Chu Qinghe slowly walked into the courtyard after leaving the herbal medicine shop.
As Chu Qinghe walked briskly towards his home, his gaze suddenly swept towards the end of the street when he reached the junction of the south and west sides of the city.
In sight, several women dressed in white dresses and with their faces veiled walked out of a house with a constable.
Looking at these people, Chu Qinghe instantly thought of the disciples of the Divine Water Palace that Qu Feiyan had mentioned yesterday.
Are you still looking?
After muttering to himself, Chu Qinghe turned his gaze away and continued walking home.
With his temperament and appearance, Chu Qinghe would naturally attract attention wherever he went.
Therefore, as they walked, the disciples of the Divine Water Palace not far away also noticed the deviation in the gazes of the surrounding pedestrians and then looked in the direction these people were looking.
When they saw Chu Qinghe, who was incomparably handsome and had a gentle temperament, the disciples of Shenshui Palace were all stunned.
His gaze was unconsciously fixed on Chu Qinghe, and for a moment he forgot to look away.
However, at this moment, a constable standing next to the disciples of the Divine Water Palace suddenly spoke up: "By the way, a while ago, the constables in my office saw a handsome man with a pretty maid in the city while on patrol. The most handsome man in the city is said to be Chu Qinghe, who lives in the city. Could that young master be Chu Qinghe, who is so handsome?"
Hearing the constable's words, the Shenshui Palace disciple standing at the front, who was clearly the leader, quickly turned to the constable and asked, "Do you know where that young master lives?"
After thinking for a moment, the constable said, "She lives in the house of the maid who climbed over the wall yesterday."
The leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples asked thoughtfully, "That little girl from yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, a disciple of the Divine Water Palace suddenly glanced sideways at the constable and said coldly, "Why didn't you mention this yesterday?"
Stared at by the disciple of the Divine Water Palace, the constable shrank back and said weakly, "It's been quite a while, more than half a month ago. If I hadn't seen that young master, I wouldn't have remembered!"
Before the Shenshui Palace disciple could say anything more, the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciple said, "In the past two days, we have searched almost every place in Yushui City. The only place we haven't been to is the house of that little girl from yesterday. Now it seems that the little girl who took Tian Boguang's body to the yamen that day may be in that young master's house."
The constable said, "That pretty girl didn't seem to be from this city. Maybe she left Yushui City after receiving the reward."
No sooner had the words been spoken than the Shenshui Palace disciple, who had previously reprimanded the constable, cast a cold glance at him once more.
Seeing this, the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples glanced coldly at the constable beside him and said in a cold voice, "Let's go take a look first!"
After speaking, the disciple of Shenshui Palace gestured and then quickly walked towards the direction where Chu Qinghe was walking in the distance.
A dozen or so breaths later, hearing the slightly disordered footsteps behind him, Chu Qinghe, who was walking towards home, raised an eyebrow but pretended nothing had happened.
However, just as Chu Qinghe took another dozen steps forward, a voice rang out from behind him.
"Young master, please wait a moment."
Hearing the voice behind him, Chu Qinghe sighed inwardly.
"Well, I should have bought some tofu pudding from Granny Wang's stall before coming back."
After muttering a curse to himself, Chu Qinghe stopped and slowly pretended to come to his senses.
When he faced these disciples of the Divine Water Palace, a gentle smile instantly appeared on his face.
As Chu Qinghe turned around, the disciples of the Divine Water Palace who had been there earlier also walked up to him.
Looking at Chu Qinghe up close, the disciples of Shenshui Palace felt even more awe of her exquisite beauty.
Especially with the smile on Chu Qinghe's lips at this moment, it gave people a refreshing feeling, making them feel bright and cheerful, and for a moment they even forgot to speak.
With his gaze fixed on the disciples of the Divine Water Palace, Chu Qinghe asked softly, "Do you ladies have something to say?"
The gentle yet somewhat magnetic voice made the disciples of Shenshui Palace's eyes flicker slightly.
The leader of the group, from the Divine Water Palace, said, "Greetings, young master."
As they spoke, the leader, a disciple from the Divine Water Palace, spoke softly, completely unlike the coldness he had shown when facing the constable.
Seeing the way the Shenshui Palace disciple leading the group and the other Shenshui Palace disciples blinked their eyes when they looked at Chu Qinghe, the constable, who had been running around with these young ladies for two days, rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
"This damn world that judges people by their looks is fucking awful."
Then, the constable looked at Chu Qinghe's handsome face and felt a pang of jealousy.
I always felt that when Nuwa created humans, she had some selfish motives.
After politely addressing Chu Qinghe, the leader of the Shenshui Palace disciples unfolded a portrait and asked, "May I ask, young master, do you have a beautiful maid in your household?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe glanced at the constables beside the Shenshui Palace disciples and nodded, saying, "That's right!"
