Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 480 Legend has it that it is the Immortal Valley

"Hmm," Gu Qingyue replied listlessly.

"Go and comfort her first, I'll be right there," Gu Qingyue turned over, still wanting to sleep.

"Also, Prince Li has been waiting in the courtyard for almost half an hour," Jiang Wan said, pulling up the bed curtains for Gu Qingyue.

What? Mu Yun Chu is here?

Gu Qingyue immediately perked up, "Has he been here so long? Has he had breakfast yet?"

As she spoke, Gu Qingyue sat up and began to dress.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan covered her mouth and chuckled. She knew that her mistress would get up immediately when she heard that her husband was coming.

"Go and prepare your toiletries. If you're lazy, I'll have Mu Nan teach you some manners, okay?" Gu Qingyue teased the little girl when she saw her making fun of her.

"Master, you------" Master is so mean! Why did you have to bring up that clueless fellow!

Seeing Jiang Wan blush, Gu Qingyue chuckled.

These two are truly destined to meet, hehe!

It was a quarter of an hour later when Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu sat down in the flower hall to start breakfast.

She thoughtfully picked up a steamed bun for Xiao Nian and watched him start eating before turning her attention to the still sulking princess.

"Young Master Ye, can we go see the Holy Maiden today? Where did you go yesterday?"

Princess Lianye was very anxious. She wanted to find the Holy Maiden as soon as possible so that she could get rid of that hateful Princess Chaoyue.

But yesterday, that little brat Xiao Nian insisted on taking me around Songzhou City first, saying she'd never been before and dragged me along. And that Feng Shuyan, he was so annoying too, constantly telling me all sorts of legends about Songzhou City…

I must say, it's actually quite interesting!

Suddenly, she came to her senses.

I realized I'd been thinking too far ahead and almost forgot about the important matter.

Aunt Zhao from the manor said that Princess Chaoyue was arrogant and domineering, and was extremely vicious back in the Great Chu. She was determined to teach that woman a lesson this time.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. "I've already sent people to look for it. Please be patient."

"But there's still no news?" Princess Lianye asked, becoming even more anxious.

"Or, think about where else the Holy Maiden might go? I'll send more people to keep watch," Gu Qingyue said, looking quite troubled.

Princess Lianye rested her chin on her hands, her eyebrows almost furrowed together. "I can't think of anything. Songzhou City is gone."

There was a moment of silence in the flower hall. Gu Qingyue, Gu Yuanen, and Mu Yunchu looked at each other for a while, but no one spoke.

"What about other places? Perhaps the Holy Maiden has residences in other cities as well," Gu Qingyue said casually, picking up her chopsticks.

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

“I know, I know. She took me to stay in Qihe Town for two days before, saying she wanted to go to some hall to see the goods being auctioned, and that it was very close to the Immortal Valley where she made medicine…”

As she spoke, her brows furrowed again. "But I was too young then. My mother sent someone to bring me back to the capital, so I couldn't go. Sigh... The Holy Maiden sister even told me a wonderful story, saying that many ordinary people would go to find the Immortal Valley after hearing the legend, because it's a fairyland... Sigh!"

After saying that, the little girl sighed deeply, feeling very regretful.

Gu Qingyue's eyes flickered; at this moment, she was incredibly grateful that she had brought this little girl along.

Although it might seem like she was deceiving the young girl, she wasn't lying; she was also looking for the Holy Maiden.

"I see! Qihe Town is too far away. It will take a long time to get there, and even if we do, we may not be able to find the Holy Maiden. Let's forget about it."

Gu Qingyue put down her chopsticks and couldn't help but sigh, her tone full of regret.

Princess Lianye stood up anxiously, "Isn't Young Master Ye going to find the Holy Maiden? What am I supposed to do?"

"But I still have some things to do. How about I send someone to accompany you to wait in Songzhou City a little longer?"

Gu Qingyue's helpless expression made Gu Yuanen and Mu Yun Chu raise their eyebrows.

Upon hearing this, Princess Lianye immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. Yes, Young Master Ye must have other things to do; how could he possibly wait here for the Holy Maiden?

Hey!

"But don't worry, I'll still provide food and lodging. How about that? Consider it compensation for not being able to stay here with you while waiting for the Holy Maiden?"

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Gu Qingyue felt a pang of pity.

The little girl immediately lowered her head; she had no choice but to accept it, and she nodded.

Now that we know where the saintess is hiding, there's no reason for us to stay in Songzhou City any longer.

After settling Princess Lianye and her servants in, the group ate breakfast and set off, weary from their journey.

As for Pan Xiangye's matter, Mu Yun Chu has already made arrangements; once the person is found, things will be much easier.

We must capture him and bring him back to the Great Chu.

Everyone rode horses at full speed along the way.

Without Princess Lianye's carriage following them, riding a horse was naturally the fastest option.

Especially since they destroyed the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, those who escaped must have already delivered the news to the Holy Maiden.

A swift and decisive victory is essential.

A few nights later, the group camped out in the wilderness near the forest.

Gu Qingyue sat leaning against a tree, and Mu Yunchu sat beside her.

Since they were all on the same side, Gu Qingyue no longer hid her voice, but wore a mask just in case.

"Do you think that the Immortal Valley that Princess Lianye mentioned, which is very close to Qihe Town, is the Immortal Valley?"

Gu Qingyue poked at the fire and asked Gu Yuanen and Qin Fang, who were sitting opposite her.

Qin Fang frowned. He had heard about the Holy Maiden recuperating in the Immortal Valley, and combined with what the little princess had said, he nodded cautiously. He thought it was true.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanen seemed to understand something. "The hall that Princess Lianye mentioned for auctioning goods should be Liujin Hall. As for the Immortal Valley and the legend of the Immortal Valley... it should be the Immortal Valley where the Holy Maiden recuperated."

Gu Qingyue nodded, which was taken as agreement.

But where in Meigu Mountain is Shenxian Valley located?

Meigu Mountain stretches for hundreds of kilometers and is not just a few simple peaks.

How to find it?

"Sister, don't worry, I'll help you find it, okay?"

Xiao Nian sat cross-legged on a large rock nearby, looking up at the stars. Hearing Gu Qingyue's words and seeing everyone looking troubled, she spoke up.

This trip to Nanzhao was very memorable for Xiao Nian. He remembered many things, such as that he should have lived in Nanzhao when he was a child and that he was related to the Huben tribe.

However, Mu Dong couldn't find out anything about a missing child in the Tiger Warrior tribe this time, which made him very frustrated.

But thinking about it, with Sister Qingyue around, Lizhou and Yueying Pavilion are his home. So what does it matter if he can find his family or not?

"Yes, Xiao Nian will come with us to find Immortal Valley this time." Gu Qingyue made the final decision, seeing the little guy's somewhat disappointed expression.

Although Xiao Nian is a bit weak in martial arts, she is clever and quick-witted, and might be able to play a big role.

Xiao Nian nodded upon hearing this and smiled happily.
