Regarding their request, although Liushang felt very reluctant, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, they all wanted to come verify whether what he said was true or not. Above all, they were also very excited to meet the young girl named Su Qingyan.
"Liushang, are you sure that girl can play [Thousand Beasts and Phoenix]?" Yanmei looked to Liushang still with doubt. Along the way, Liushang didn't really say much about the matters regarding that girl to them.
Liushang looked to Yanmei and reluctantly spoke, "You'll know when the time comes. You have to know, Donghe is where the Seven Star Hall's headquarters is located. Your appearance isn't a good thing."
Yanmei looked to Liushang and laughed, "So what? Within Diqiu, aside from Fengqing, no one else can be considered my opponent."
"Boss, that's you. Who doesn't know in this Jianghu, your skills are second only to Fengqing. The rest of us naturally fall behind others, not to mention there's less of us." Anying looked to Yanmei with a reluctant look, "Fourth brother and I don't have that kind of talent."
"But even so, elder brother, do you think there's something strange about this matter?" Yanmei glanced to the pondering Yaochi and asked in a serious tone. "It's be great if those animals were here as well, that way they can also verify that girl's identity."
Yaochi turned to the three of them and waved his hand, "No matter, I heard that the Dingguo General will be returning to the capital shortly. If we can experience that girl's abilities firsthand at the Dragon Gate Festival, then perhaps we can be sure."
"Dragon Gate Festival?" Liushang helplessly frowned, "Don't tell me you want to appear at the Dragon Gate Festival? That's not possible."
Yaochi rolled his eyes at Liushang, "We can't go publicly, secretly is no good either, what do you think we do for a living!?"
Liushang looked to Yaochi's glare and could only keep the words to himself. When it comes to speaking, he didn't really rank that high. After all, he was not good with words.
"Liushang, don't you need to give that miss the Seven Colored Lingyun Snake? When the time comes, we can just confirm from afar." Anying looked to the other three and voiced his opinion. But what he got in return was an annoyed look from Yaochi and Yanmei.
Liushang looked to Anying and reluctantly shook his head, "I only felt that her behavior was a lot like the Pavilion Master, I didn't say she looked like her."
Anying felt a cold glare from Yanmei, "Fourth brother, don't tell me just because the Pavilion Master isn't here anymore that your brain's no longer working either."
Anying glanced to Yanmei and decided not to say anything anymore. Yaochi looked to them and smiled, "Where is the Su manor? I'll go visit her in secret, and we'll know once I see her."
What Yaochi said wasn't unreasonable; back then he was the one that was at Qilian Qingyan's side the longest. But who would have known that not even a month after Yaochi left, Qilian Qingyan ended up dying in regret. In the end, no one blamed themselves more than Yaochi.
Yaochi, who was Qilian Qingyan's personal bodyguard, was unable to protect her.
"Elder brother, don't tell me you're going to visit the Su manor at night?" Liushang looked up to Yaochi with a look of disbelief.
Yaochi nodded in response, "If I can know one or two of her habits, then perhaps it'll be a simple matter when we reconfirm a second time." Before waiting to hear their agreement, Yaochi had already disappeared ahead of them.
And seeing Yaochi's disappearing back, the other three could only helplessly shrug their shoulders. When it came to qinggong*, none of them were a match for Yaochi.
(*TN: Qinggong is the martial art skill of being light-footed to point it looks like one's flying.)
The Su family were prosperous and grand; Yaochi was able to quickly locate the Su manor. Using his strong sense of hearing he was able to find out where Su Qingyan's yard was.
Afterwards, he could only conceal himself in an inconspicuous large tree. This tree was only about a few meters away from Qingyan's Yingshuang yard. However, Yaochi's eyes were extremely good as well. He could clearly see everything about the Yingshuang yard.
At the same time, Qingyan who was currently napping, seemed to have felt something. When she forced her eyes open, she saw the white tiger's tail continuously helping her repel mosquitoes. But just when she was about to get up, she knocked over a tea cup by her bed.
"Miss, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare again?" Hearing the sound, Zizhu pushed opened the door and entered. Afterwards, Baizhi also entered from behind.
