Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 462 A clue delivered to my doorstep, I'll gladly accept it.

Gu Qingyue understood. Someone had deliberately brought the master and servant to the vicinity of her inn, waiting for her to run into them.

Perhaps she was under that person's surveillance when she was talking to Princess Lianye outside.

Ha ha.

No need to guess, it's naturally Yue Zhiqi's person!

Only he knew that Gu Qingyue and her group needed to know about the Holy Maiden's itinerary and situation, so he sent someone who knew the inside story.

Excellent! A partner like this is worth collaborating with!

After dinner, Gu Qingyue led Princess Lianye and the other girl to a comfortable room, where they washed up and went to sleep. Only then did Gu Qingyue quietly go to Gu Yuanen's room.

"Fourth Brother, that little girl is asleep. Keep an eye on her. I'm going to the inn."

Gu Qingyue lowered her voice.

Gu Yuanen thought for a moment and nodded, "Go and come back quickly, I'll keep an eye on things for you."

"Okay," Gu Qingyue said, and instantly climbed out of the inn through the back window and disappeared into the night.

Inside the Great Chu Inn, Mu Yun Chu sat upright, staring at the note in his hand, deep in thought.

Gu Qingyue raised her hand to knock on the door, and Mu Yun Chu looked up and said, "Come in."

Seeing that it was Gu Qingyue who walked in, Mu Yun Chu smiled gently and stood up, "What brings you here, A-Yue?"

"Huh, didn't you go to see Yue Zhiqi?" Gu Qingyue asked curiously.

She thought that Mu Yun Chu might have gone to see Yue Zhi Qi and wasn't at the inn, so she came over to wait for her. Unexpectedly, the candlestick was lit.

It is clear that the person is still in the room.

"He went. This afternoon, the King of Nanzhao sent him to train troops at the Ironclad Battalion near Songzhou."

As he spoke, he handed the note to Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue glanced at it a few times and thought, "Wow! This King of Nanzhao is quite quick!"

However, this also shows that Yue Zhiqi had just returned from his mission to the Great Chu and hadn't even had a chance to rest before being entrusted with an important task. It's unclear whether the King of Nanzhao liked this son too much or not.

Or perhaps, Consort Yu was pregnant, and the King of Nanzhao, in his joy, bestowed even more favor upon this son?

Well, it seems that they'll have to deal with the Holy Maiden themselves for now.

No problem! I'll still go and get ready!

"It's fine that he's not here, but... he sent someone over for me," Gu Qingyue said with a mysterious smile.

After she finished talking about Princess Lianye.

Mu Yun Chu raised an eyebrow. Since a clue had been delivered to her door, she would gladly accept it.

The next step is to figure out how to get Princess Lianye to talk about the Holy Maiden.

The next morning, before Gu Qingyue had even gotten out of bed, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Gu Qingyue asked lazily.

"Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye, I'm hungry," Princess Lianye's voice rang out from outside.

So, after Gu Qingyue finished washing up, she called everyone downstairs and sat in the lobby.

Princess Lianye screamed as soon as she saw Xiao Nian, "You, you guys? You're from that group in Sanchun City?"

She had snatched the woman's flowers and hadn't been paying attention to anyone else, but she actually saw the little boy next to Gu Qingyue, Xiao Nian. This little boy was here again. Could he be one of those people?

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. "What? You know them?" she asked, feigning ignorance.

"Where is that girl? Where is that... that girl who bought the Forget-Me-Not?" Princess Lianye was a little embarrassed. She remembered the time she snatched something from someone on the street and then threw it back.

"Oh, you mean my sworn sister? She went home. Are you looking for her?" Gu Qingyue's eyes and brows were full of smiles.

It's nice to tease the little girl!

"She went back? What a pity, I wanted to get to know her last time," Princess Lianye said awkwardly.

Gu Qingyue never intended to hide the group, except for her own identity.

Since we're going to ask her about what happened in Sanchun City anyway, it won't hurt to know.

"Why did you go to Sanchun City last time? It's very far from the capital."

Gu Qingyue placed a plate of crystal steamed dumplings in front of her, smiling warmly.

Upon hearing this, Princess Lianye's mood visibly somber.

"I went to find the Holy Maiden, but unfortunately I couldn't find her."

"You mean the Holy Maiden of Nanzhao? So you know her? That's amazing! We've only ever heard of her, never seen her in person."

Feng Shuyan said with a look of longing and envy.

He could tell that Gu Qingyue wanted to know about the Holy Maiden, and he naturally wanted to help. This little princess didn't seem to be very bright, so maybe she would tell him.

Upon hearing this, Princess Lianye's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's our Nanzhao Holy Maiden! She's incredibly powerful. I was thinking of asking her to perform a ritual—" He suddenly stopped talking.

"She really knows how to do it! She's really amazing!" Gu Yuanen took a sip of porridge, looking at the little girl's expression as she tried her best to hold back from revealing her secret, and smiled gently.

It's quite easy to give someone a compliment.

All we need to do is find out the saintess's whereabouts.

"How do you know she's in Sanchun City? Shouldn't she be in the Wizard's Temple?" Gu Qingyue also showed a very curious expression.

"The Holy Maiden has not been in the Wizard's Temple for many years; she has been staying in Songzhou."

But last time, when I went to Songzhou to find her, I heard that she had taken Doctor Qin to Sanchun City, so I went after her to find her.

As she spoke, she rested her chin on her hands, looking distressed. She was still upset that she hadn't found the Holy Maiden Sister last time; otherwise, her father wouldn't have married that woman.

Gu Qingyue sighed softly.

It seems that the one who tried to harm me with the witch butterfly last time really was the Holy Maiden; she should have been in Sanchun City at the time.

The little girl said that the Holy Maiden had been staying in Songzhou for a long time... Isn't Wanhua Valley near Songzhou?

Does she often visit the Valley of a Thousand Flowers?

The possibility is great!

But why do they stay in the Valley of a Thousand Flowers for so long instead of returning to the Wizard's Temple?

Gu Qingyue believed that everything in the world had a reason, and perhaps the Holy Maiden of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers had a reason for not wanting to leave?

Great! Let's go to the Valley of a Thousand Flowers first!

Having figured this out, Gu Qingyue lost interest in beating around the bush with the little girl.

"Do you know where the Holy Maiden lives in Songzhou City? I also want to ask her to perform a ritual," Gu Qingyue clapped her hands, "I'm full, time to get back to work."

"Young Master Ye, are you also looking for the Holy Maiden? I've been wanting to go see her again, I'll take you there!"

This time, she's determined to find the Holy Maiden and have her perform a ritual to kill that woman! Hmph!

Gu Qingyue laughed. She hadn't expected Princess Lianye to be so determined to kill Princess Chaoyue!

Perfect timing, let's go together!

“Great! Let’s go together!” Xiao Nian finally seized the opportunity. “I’ve never seen such an amazing person before!”

A picture of naiveté.

Princess Lianye was truly happy now, and even a little proud.

This young master Ye is rich and also wants to see the Holy Maiden. Perfect, I'll go with him. That should help me avoid my father's investigation!

Thinking that she had escaped and had no money or people, she became a little worried. After thinking for a moment, she said, "However, Young Master Ye has to agree to one condition before I will take you there."
