"Please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean any disrespect to the Grand Preceptor. I just heard someone calling out a name, so I called it out as well."
Xu Yuehuai tried to explain to the people around her, but they wouldn't listen to her explanation at all; instead, they became quite angry.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you address the Imperial Preceptor by his first name? Don't you have a death wish?"
"I think you'd better leave now and stop causing trouble."
"The Grand Preceptor is praying for rain right now, so you mustn't cause any trouble here, or we'll call the authorities to arrest you later."
Xu Yuehua wanted to say something more, but at this moment the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they couldn't stand there or find shelter from the rain.
She didn't particularly like rainy days when she was in the modern world, and these rainy days made her feel especially uncomfortable.
Then Xu Yuehuai led Xia Sen and the others away from there and back to the inn.
After returning to her room, Xu Yuehuai kept thinking about what had just happened.
The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became that the Imperial Advisor was Qi Guze.
But why would Qi Guze do this? He is a prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Isn't he afraid of being discovered by the people of Wuling Kingdom?
Or does Qi Guze have some other purpose?
Xu Yuehuai was very puzzled and had no idea what was going on.
Then she quickly went to find the Ghost Doctor and told him what had just happened.
"You mean that Imperial Preceptor is Qi Guze?" The Ghost Doctor frowned upon hearing this.
"Yes, the more I think about it, the more I believe that the Grand Preceptor is Qi Guze. But what exactly is Qi Guze? Why is he hiding his identity? Isn't he afraid of being discovered by the people of Wuling Kingdom?"
"Is it because his identity has been exposed that he's hiding here?"
Xu Yuehuai shared her conjecture.
The Ghost Doctor shook his head and said, "Perhaps it's not like that."
"Perhaps he has some other purpose hidden here."
"Now that he has become the Grand Preceptor of Wuling Kingdom, he must have some designs on Wuling Kingdom."
"Perhaps he intends to use this Flower Festival as an opportunity to poison the people of Wuling Kingdom."
"After all, he is a prince, and he certainly wouldn't be willing to just become a royal advisor."
The Ghost Doctor analyzed the situation for Xu Yuehuai, and then Xu Yuehuai understood.
"You mean Qi Guze wants to take advantage of the Flower Festival to poison the people of Wuling and provoke a war between the Great Zhou and Wuling?"
The Ghost Doctor nodded and said, "That's hard to say."
Xu Yuehuai shook her head and said, "I still think Qi Guze isn't that kind of person. He would never do something so heinous."
"But he has now become a Grand Preceptor, hiding in the Kingdom of Wuling, perhaps to avenge his country."
"Anyway, we don't have any other evidence right now, so let's not speculate. Let's wait and see."
Xu Yuehuai doesn't know what to do now.
Their most important task right now is to find Qi Guze.
Then Xu Yuehuai led Xia Sen and the others away from the inn to search for Qi Guze's whereabouts.
They searched the area for several days without finding any trace of Qi Guze, so they went to other places to search.
Qi Guze sensed something was wrong ever since Xu Yuehuai called out his name that day.
He wondered what Xu Yuehuai and the others had come to Wuling Kingdom for. Could it be that they wanted to find his whereabouts?
Qi Guze was determined not to let Xu Yuehuai find him, so he became even more careful to hide his whereabouts.
After searching for several days without finding any trace of Qi Guze, Xu Yuehuai and the others returned to the inn to rest.
After resting peacefully in the inn for several days, they left the restaurant to search for Qi Guze's whereabouts.
At that moment, the little princess also came out of their room.
The little princess's clothes are much neater now, and she's gained some weight, making her especially adorable.
"Little princess, why did you come out of your room? Are you feeling better now?" Xu Yuehuai hurriedly asked about the little princess's health after seeing her come out.
Upon hearing this, the little princess nodded to Xu Yuehuai and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I am feeling much better now."
Xu Yuehuai's heart almost melted when she saw the little princess's adorable appearance, and she quickly hugged her.
"Little princess, you are so cute, I like you more and more."
The little princess was very happy to be held in Xu Yuehuai's arms, and she liked Xu Yuehuai very much. "Sister, I also want to go with you to find that person," the little princess said to Xu Yuehuai, wanting to go with Xu Yuehuai and the others to find traces of that person.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head and said, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so you shouldn't come with us around. Otherwise, I'll be very worried about you."
"Sweetie, you rest here for now. We'll come back and tell you as soon as we find that person," Xu Yuehuai coaxed the little princess, not wanting her to go with them to find Qi Guze.
Although the little princess was a little disappointed after hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, she obediently nodded in agreement.
Then Xu Yuehuai led Xia Sen and the others away from the inn to search for Qi Guze's whereabouts.
But then they inadvertently spotted a familiar figure.
"Isn't that the man we met at the Flower Festival the other day?" Xia Sen said to Xu Yuehuai and the others, pointing at the figure.
Xu Yuehuai looked in the direction Xia Sen was pointing and indeed found that the man was the same man she had met at the Flower Festival that day.
"Could he be Qi Guze?" Xu Yuehuai wondered.
She quickly led Xia Sen and the others to follow him, wanting to see if the man was indeed Qi Guze. However, they hadn't gone far behind the man when they sensed something was wrong.
They were currently on a mountain, a completely deserted place, with only them following the man. Xu Yuehuai grew increasingly suspicious; could it be that the man had discovered them?
Otherwise, why would he have deliberately led them up this mountain? Then Xu Yuehuai realized that the surrounding scenery was becoming more and more familiar. Wasn't this the road they had taken after leaving the Flower Festival that day?
