As she spoke, a deep sense of confusion flashed across Jellyfish Yin Ji's sweet face.
"How come Yaoyue is so sure that I have feelings for Young Master Chu? She didn't say anything, yet she guessed my plans. It's like she can read my mind. Strange."
After the twelfth lunar month, the January sun gradually warmed, shining on the lake surface. Amidst the shimmering waves, light also reflected off the jellyfish Yin Ji on the lakeshore.
Her sweet face appeared even more dazzling under the light.
However, as she continued to mutter to herself, the fish inside the water ball in Jellyfish Yin Ji's hand seemed to lose some of their vitality with each toss and fall.
End of the Si hour.
In the northern part of Yushui City, a group of women dressed in white and with their faces veiled, along with a huge sedan chair covered by a light veil, walked slowly out of the city gate and headed north.
At the north gate of the city, two disciples of the Yihua Palace kept watching the Shenshui Palace procession depart in the distance.
At the same time, in Chu Qinghe's courtyard.
As Chu Qinghe went inside to write a new story, a snow-white bird entered his courtyard.
With a wave of her hand, she drew the bird in the air into her hand, and after removing the bamboo tube attached to the bird's leg, she gently pulled out a strip of white paper from the tube.
As her gaze swept over the contents of the note, Yaoyue frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"They actually left?"
Upon hearing Yaoyue's voice, Xiao Zhao, who was also in the courtyard, couldn't help but ask Qu Feiyan with a puzzled look, "Sister Yue, who did you say left?"
Qu Feiyan opened her eyes, glanced at Yaoyue, and slowly said, "Who else could it be? Sister Situ, of course?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because of that time?"
Qu Feiyan sighed and said, "I guess Sister Yue chased them away."
As she spoke, Qu Feiyan sighed, "Even the Water Mother Yin Ji of the Divine Water Palace was driven away. It seems that among the younger generation of women in the Great Ming Kingdom, only Sister Dongfang's strength can now compare with Sister Yue's."
In the end, Qu Feiyan still felt a little regretful.
Qu Feiyan had originally hoped that having the Palace Master of the Divine Water Palace back her up would be a great help to her family.
But now it seems that this idea will probably have to fall through.
Yaoyue paid no attention to Qu Feiyan's slight resentment. When she focused her gaze on the note in her hand, doubt gradually rose in her eyes.
Having witnessed firsthand the way the Water Mother Yin Ji looked at Chu Qinghe, Yao Yue was certain that the Water Mother Yin Ji had fallen for Chu Qinghe.
Therefore, in Yaoyue's view, this morning's exchange was just the beginning.
She will have to defeat Shuimu Yinji several more times before she will realize that Chu Qinghe is not someone she can touch.
But now, less than an hour later, the Water Mother Yin Ji has left with the people of the Divine Water Palace.
Such an easy action made Yaoyue a little suspicious.
Seeing this, Yaoyue's figure flashed to the alley next to the courtyard.
A moment later, after several disciples of the Yihua Palace appeared, Yaoyue asked, "Go and check where the people from the Shenshui Palace stayed in this city yesterday to see if they have all left?"
Upon receiving Yaoyue's order, several disciples of the Yihua Palace immediately set off.
Before long, several disciples of the Yihua Palace rushed into the house that the Shenshui Palace had previously bought in Yushui City.
After a disciple of the Yihua Palace used his true energy to unlock the door and enter the house, the group quickly searched the house. Once they confirmed that there were five people inside, they quickly left the house.
After a moment, listening to the reports from these Yihua Palace disciples, Yaoyue snorted inwardly.
"They know what's good for them."
Although she was slightly puzzled by Shui Mu Yin Ji's decisive departure, now that the person had definitely left, Yao Yue naturally didn't bother to think about anything else.
Immediately, Yaoyue waved her hand lightly, then leaped up and floated back into the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, several disciples of the Yihua Palace quickly left.
At the same time, on the street where the residence that the Yihua Palace disciples had just searched was located.
A man who was making pancakes suddenly called out to another vendor next to him, "Old Li, I'm leaving for a bit. Could you watch my stall for me?"
The man making pancakes left only after an elderly man in his sixties, who was selling vegetables nearby, waved his hand.
After walking three streets away, the pancake vendor quickly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before heading into an alleyway.
After walking through the winding alley for a while, they finally stopped in front of a house and knocked on the door.
A few moments later, as the door opened, a woman dressed in a white dress and wearing a light veil walked out slowly.
His clothing was exactly the same as that of the disciples of Shenshui Palace who had just left through the North Gate.
Looking at the disciple of the Divine Water Palace, the pancake-making man bowed and said with a smile, "Fairy, according to what you said, several other girls carrying long swords just came out of the house opposite my pancake stall."
Upon hearing this, the disciple from the Divine Water Palace asked, "Are you sure you didn't attract anyone's attention?"
The man making pancakes said with a forced smile, "Look at what you're saying, fairy. Those girls with swords are obviously not ordinary people. How could they possibly notice a lowly person like me? They certainly didn't notice me."
Seeing this, the disciple of Shenshui Palace took out a ten-tael gold ingot from his pocket and threw it to the pancake-making man.
After the other party accepted the money with a beaming smile, the Shenshui Palace disciple said coldly, "Remember this: if word gets out about what happened today, you may have the life to take the money but not the life to spend it."
The man making the pancakes bowed repeatedly and said, "I know, I know! Please rest assured, fairy."
After saying that, the man making pancakes carefully took a few steps back, and only left quickly after seeing the door close, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
