”She is from the Demon Realm, there might be a reason why she is lying in ambush at your residence.” After hearing what National Duke had to say, Shui Qinan confirmed that there was definitely something in National Duke's residence that was useful to the Demon World. It's just that National Duke might not even know that there was something in National Duke's residence.

Shui Qinan took out a medicinal pellet from her Qiankun bag and said to the National Duke: ”This is a kind of fake medicine, after taking it, you will not be able to wake up. However, you clearly know that you can hear the words of others, but you won't be able to wake up.

The National Duke swallowed the pill without any suspicion, summoned Zhu Er into the Nine Heavens Pagoda, and had Hua Luo continue to stay in the National Duke's room to protect the National Duke. She was worried that the Xu wouldn't let his go so easily. Although Hua Luo didn't want to part with her, he did as he said. She pushed the door open after all this.

”Without that Wood Eager Pearl, I want to see what else Xu can do.” Shui Qinan's entire body released waves of cold Qi, Xu was truly deranged.

However, why did the Wood Eager Pearl suddenly stop attacking her today, and was easily retracted by her. It was as if at that moment when the Wood Eager Pearl turned into a normal bead, Shui Qinan carefully recalled the events that happened before, and did not realize that something was amiss.

Shui Qinan's chest started to hurt, Shui Qinan held onto her chest and frowned, only then did she remember that she was hit by the Wood Eager Pearl's backlash and spat out blood from her heart, as though she was completely absorbed by the Wood Eager Pearl.

”You really can't be underestimated.” After a long while, Shui Qinan spat out a sentence and opened the door. It was unknown when Nangong Jin, who was guarding the door, was outside.

”Are you hurt?” Nangong Jin hurriedly asked as he saw Shui Qinan coming out. Shui Qinan had locked herself in his room and had not come out since lunch time. As for Shui Qinan's room, she had set up an enchantment on it, so when Nangong Jin was only a step away from his room, he was stopped.

Nangong Jin was worried that Shui Qinan would stay and stand guard at the door without leaving.

”No, it's just that I expended a large amount of spirit energy in treating National Duke today. I was in my room repairing my spirit energy and forgot to tell you, but that's my mistake.” Shui Qinan looked at the deep worry in Nangong Jin's eyes, and frowned as she spoke.

”Miss Shui hasn't had any food for the whole day. I've prepared some light ones and I'm treating you to some more.” Nangong Jin slowly said.

Shui Qinan knew that Nangong Jin was worried about her body, so she nodded and joined Nangong Jin for dinner.

When Shui Qinan went to the National Duke's residence to retrieve the Wood Eager Pearl, the Xu did not make a move.

Shui Qinan peacefully stayed in the Nangong Residence for five days. During these five days, Shui Qinan basically did not go out, and only cultivated her body and adjusted her spirit energy. She did not know why, but after she recovered eighty percent of her spirit energy, she did not go out again.

On this day, Shui Qinan failed again in her room. She knew that if she did not recover her spirit energy to her peak, it would be a very dangerous thing for her. The Xu was ready to make a move, and the people behind the Xu were also filled with killing intent towards him. Shui Qinan shook her head. She really could not understand, when did she provoke so many people, to even want her to die?

The Imperial Advisor had said what exactly was the Phoenix imprint on her body, so why did she need to go to Cangyue to understand all of this? Why did it seem like Yin Huaqing knew her from the start? However, she indeed did not know Yin Huaqing, and the person Yin Huaqing knew was someone else. Was she Shui Qinan or not?

At such a time, she could only face it on her own.
