At this moment, two people were standing below the hall.
One of them was a beautiful woman in her early thirties, dressed in a gorgeous red dress and adorned with jewels; she was clearly a relative of a wealthy family.
The other person was hidden under a gray cloak, with only half of their face visible under the brim of their hat. Judging from their figure, they should also be a woman.
The question the girl in the black dress just asked was the same question she had asked the woman in the red dress.
The beautiful woman in red frowned, shook her head, and said, "The Seventh Princess seems to have vanished into thin air. I've sent many people to search for her, but it's truly difficult to find her! Miss, I dare to guess... if the Seventh Princess hasn't fallen into the hands of the Guanghan Palace, then she should have most likely left the Tianyu Dynasty..."
“Leave…” The girl in the black dress stroked her chin and murmured, “What a troublesome little white dragon. It’s so badly injured, why doesn’t it stay put? Where would it run off to…”
At this moment, the gray-robed woman on the other side suddenly spoke up: "Could they have gone to the East Sea? Dragons are good swimmers; once they're in the sea, they might be able to use some tricks to escape the Blood Sect's pursuit..."
The girl in the black dress smiled gently, her alluring face becoming even more captivating: "Anywhere is fine, but definitely not the East Sea..."
"..."
The beautiful woman in red said coldly and sarcastically, "Just as we least want the Heart of the Vast Ocean to fall into the hands of the Blood Sect, the North Sea Dragon Clan naturally least wants to see the Heart of the Vast Ocean fall into the hands of the East Sea... Even if the Seventh Princess goes to the Moon Palace, she might still have a chance of survival, but going to the East Sea is undoubtedly courting death..."
The woman in the gray robe suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
"You'd better not embarrass yourself in public with that kind of brain. Stay home and weave your own web so you don't drag others down with you!"
The gray-robed woman flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Hongyu! Do you think you're so useful? Miss has already calculated that there's a 90% chance that the dragon girl is hiding in the Tianyu Dynasty. You're supposed to be a local, yet you've searched for so long and haven't even found a single dragon scale. What use are you?"
"You stinky spider, you make it sound so easy! If you're so capable, go and find it for someone!"
"Tch! I..."
"Alright, alright! You two have really gone too far!"
After being scolded by the girl in the black dress, the two finally quieted down.
The girl rubbed her head, looking troubled: "I shouldn't have let you two meet. You made my head buzz..."
"..."
After a while, the girl waved her hand again and said, "If you can't find it, then don't look for it... As long as the Blood Sect hasn't taken the Heart of the Vast Ocean... Lingmu, how did you do in monitoring the Blood Sect's whereabouts?"
The woman in the gray robe clasped her hands in response: "They all withdrew three months ago!"
"Three months ago? They stayed here for a month?"
"good……"
At this moment, Hongyu, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and spoke up: "If I remember correctly, three months ago, Nie Qingshuang, the Palace Master of Qingyou Palace in Guanghan Palace, came down the mountain and visited the Tianyu Dynasty..."
Upon hearing this, the girl raised an eyebrow: "Nie Qingshuang? A powerhouse on par with my mother, how could you possibly find out her whereabouts?"
"It was quite a coincidence..." Hongyu explained, "At the time, I was searching for the Seventh Princess in Linyuan City when I encountered that Palace Master fighting with others on Tianyuan. He revealed some of his aura, which I sensed."
"That's interesting..." The girl seemed intrigued, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Dare to fight the Lord of Qingyou Palace in Yunzhou? Did you see who was fighting?"
Hongyu looked troubled: "When I sensed Nie Qingshuang's Xuanshuang sword energy, how could I dare to stay any longer? So I quickly found a secluded place to hide... but it seems that there was no real fighting over there, and the energy dissipated quickly."
Upon hearing this, Lingmu immediately sneered, "What a cowardly snake! You have some status in the Tianyu Dynasty, do you think the Qingyou Palace Master would make things difficult for you for no reason..."
Before Hongyu could even get angry, the girl in the black dress spoke up to explain: "I have heard my mother talk about this Nie Qingshuang. This crazy woman hates evil and is ruthless. She has always hated the demon race. Even I can only run away with my tail between my legs when I see her. If you hear her name in the future, you should run as far away as possible!"
"Thank you for reminding me, Miss!"
Just then, a very faint hissing sound came from outside the room.
The girl raised her head slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"Shadow?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed, and two more figures appeared in the room.
This time, however, two men appeared. One of them, like Lingmu, hid his figure under a black robe, and concealed himself even more thoroughly, revealing only a pair of cold, gray eyes.
The other person lay on the ground, unconscious.
Seeing this, the girl chuckled: "What? So thoughtful of you, you even went out of your way to find me something to eat?"
"We ran into a tail, who seemed to be one of Teng Kui's men."
The black-robed man, referred to as Shadow, spoke in a flat tone, revealing no emotion.
"Teng Kui? That soft guy?" The girl seemed a little surprised. Beneath her black dress, her long, slender legs crossed slightly, her delicate little feet tapping out rhythmically. "He's come to Yunzhou too?"
At this moment, Youying flicked her finger and released a burst of energy, striking the man on the ground on the back of the neck, causing the unconscious man to slowly wake up.
The man, still groggy, looked around before his gaze finally settled on the girl in the black dress at the head of the table. His face paled in shock, as if he'd seen a ghost: "Mu Shuangshuang...Miss Mu! Spare me! Spare me! It was Young Master Teng who sent me to investigate you, I meant no harm..."
Sitting in the lobby, Mu Shuangshuang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile with a hint of mockery and teasing.
She parted her lips slightly, her voice melodious and gentle: "Since you say you have no ill intentions, why are you so afraid of me?"
A simple question, yet it seemed to see right through the other person's deepest fears.
"Little...little..."
Seeing that the man was stammering and couldn't answer, Mu Shuangshuang wasn't annoyed. She simply smoothed her skirt and asked in a low voice.
"So...am I that scary?"
The man was so frightened that he instinctively shrank back.
"No...no...I...I just didn't dare to offend you!"
"Giggle..."
The girl seemed to have heard something extremely funny, and covered her red lips as she laughed: "Okay, then come forward!"
Seeing this, the other three people present immediately understood, looked at the man lying on the ground with pity, and then turned and left the room.
Now, only the two of them remained in the room.
The man's back was soaked with cold sweat, and all he could hear was the pounding of his own heart.
However, seeing Mu Shuangshuang's ambiguous smile, the man, no matter how scared he was, had no choice but to grit his teeth and climb forward.
He climbed all the way down the steps, only two or three meters away from the girl. The man lowered his head and dared not move any further.
Mu Shuangshuang's smile widened, and a strange light suddenly appeared in her brown eyes: "What do you think Brother Teng wants to do in Yunzhou? As his younger sister, I don't know how to entertain him, it's really a dilemma..."
