"You mean, you found the person from the prophecy?"
The beautiful woman looked at Lambeth with an unprecedented seriousness on her face, as if her question was of paramount importance, as if the sky were falling and the earth were collapsing.
Lambeth's reply was also very concise: "Yes, madam."
The beautiful woman asked again, "Are you sure?"
Lambeau stated confidently, "I'm certain."
After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the unopened photographic stone in the beautiful woman's hand and added.
"When I noticed the anomaly, I immediately activated the recording stone. Madam, you can verify that I did not lie."
His reminder made the beautiful woman remember the memory stone, and without any hesitation, she opened it.
Instantly, the images recorded on the photo stone appeared before my eyes.
If Shushu and the others were here, they would see that the scene depicted in the picture is exactly what happened when they left the city.
At that moment, Shushu, Luli, Shuchi, and the two ancestors of the Dragon Clan glanced at Lanbai suspiciously as they walked out of the city.
At the time, Lan Bo treated the item like an accessory, hanging it on his natal sword. Since he held the sword in his hand, it was not surprising that the accessory would move along with it as he shook it from time to time.
Therefore, although Shushu and the others sensed something was wrong, they didn't discover anything.
The beautiful woman examined the recording stone in her hand again and again, finally looking up at Lan Bai and asking, "Which of these five people do you think is the one mentioned in the prophecy?"
The warning device their master gave them would issue an alert as soon as someone got close, but it couldn't pinpoint who that person was.
Unfortunately, these five people were together, and even after looking at them several times, she still couldn't determine which one her master was looking for.
Lambeth was clearly unsure as well. Faced with the beautiful woman's question, he could only honestly shake his head and reply, "This subordinate does not know either."
The beautiful woman accepted the answer readily, without surprise or blame, and nodded, then asked another question: "Do you know who these three people are?"
As the second wife of the city lord's mansion, who was quite favored, she knew Long Yin and had even had the honor of meeting the two patriarchs of the Long family.
However, she knew nothing about Shushu Luli and Shuchi, and was asking the three of them.
As expected of the beautiful woman's top lieutenant, Lan Bai knew who she was referring to as soon as she spoke, and honestly shook his head: "Reporting to Madam, this subordinate does not know."
He paused, then added, "However, I discovered that they were heading towards the Xingxiang Mountains, and the group also included the third disciple of the Liuyue Sect Master, as well as members of his clan; I dare to guess that they are probably going to the Liuyue Sect."
Upon hearing Lan Bai mention Liuyue Sect and Liu Yu, something flashed quickly in the beautiful woman's eyes, but she soon regained her composure, twirling the recording stone in her hand several times before finally holding it firmly.
Looking at Lan Bai, he calmly instructed, "Alright, I know everything. You shouldn't stay here any longer, so go out now. Remember to find out the identities of those three as soon as possible."
Lan Bai bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, I will take my leave." Then, he quickly looked up at the beautiful woman and respectfully left the room.
Only after his figure disappeared from sight did the beautiful woman seem to come back to her senses, standing up from her chair and gracefully moving to the window, staring blankly at the azure sky outside.
After a long while, she withdrew her gaze from the sky and turned to look at the flowers in the courtyard, which were blooming in all their splendor. Her voice was calm: "Blue Robe, this lady is going into seclusion."
The man in blue had been waiting quietly. Upon hearing her words, he immediately replied, "Yes, Your subordinate will arrange it immediately." After speaking, he bowed and respectfully withdrew, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
She didn't go far either, standing guard at the door, and took out several communication jade tokens, sending a message to each of them.
Upon seeing this, the beautiful woman inside the room had an inscrutable expression. She raised her hand, activated the room's protective barrier, added another layer of protection, and then turned and entered the inner room.
Arriving at the canopy bed, I found a familiar spot and pressed a jade tablet on it. Ripples spread across the canopy bed, revealing a passage leading to an unknown destination.
The beautiful woman glanced outside with her divine sense and saw that the man in blue was guarding her closely. Feeling reassured, she stepped into the passage without hesitation.
The passage was illuminated as brightly as day by the deep-sea pearls, and spirit-gathering herbs were planted at intervals.
The beautiful woman didn't seem to care much about this. She moved with light steps, winding her way through the maze of doors, and soon arrived at a jade gate at the end of the gate.
Taking a deep breath, the beautiful woman called out, "Master, Lan Qian requests an audience."
There was no reply from inside the door, but the jade door opened automatically a moment after she finished speaking.
The beautiful woman, Lan Qian, first tidied her appearance, and then respectfully stepped into the jade gate.
The massive white jade door slowly closed the moment she entered.
Before the door was completely closed, a cold male voice could be heard from inside asking, "What brings you here?"
After that, everything disappeared completely as the White Jade Gate closed.
Achoo!
Meanwhile, outside Ganquan City, on the way to the Xingxiang Mountains.
Shushu and his group were on the deck. Shushu was about to take the spiritual tea that Lu Li handed over when he suddenly sneezed.
Instantly, all eyes were on her, and Lu Li quickly pulled out a cloak from his spatial storage, intending to wrap Shushu in it.
The others looked at Shushu with concern and asked, "What happened?"
As everyone knows, cultivators rarely get sick, so when Shushu suddenly sneezed, it really startled everyone, who were worried that something bad had happened to him.
Shushu rubbed his nose, first refusing the cloak in Lu Li's hand, then thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Someone must be plotting against us behind the scenes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li and Shu Chi, who were standing to the side, sneezed one after the other.
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Li and Shu Chi sensed it themselves, and at the same time, they showed the same expression as Shu Shu.
After a long pause, Lu Li finally spoke softly, "It seems someone is watching us." Shu Chi nodded affirmatively.
The remaining millet, chestnuts, and wheat, as well as Xu Ruoyun and Rabbit, were somewhat confused. They waited for a while but didn't see any signs of anything happening to them.
Then, Xu Ruoyun began to wonder: "Why don't we sneeze?"
Rabbit followed closely: "Don't you think we're good enough?"
After speaking, the two sisters turned their gazes to the other two survivors, Shuli and Shumai, as if waiting to see when the two rats would sneeze.
The two mice were so conspicuous that the black lines on their foreheads almost became real.
Just as I was about to say something, an explosion suddenly came from afar, accompanied by a familiar voice.
"Dare to hit me? I'll blow you all up!"
