AST 1720 - Watermoon Cavern Was Here (2/2)

For two months, Qing Shui didn't get any explanations from Xu Clan about the sneak attack. He reckoned it was the Wavemoon Cavern since he hadn't made a lot of enemies here.

Apart from that, the one who confused the man’s wisdom remained unknown. The man was probably dead by now as Xu Clan failed to detect the actual murderer. Still, they wouldn’t let go of the person who killed their member directly so easily.

One day, while Qing Shui took Qing Xiu for a walk in the yard, a few men from the Dragonwolf Palace came and requested their Palace Mistress to return. The Watermoon Cavern had sent their men, according to them.

Qing Shui was startled when he heard the news. The Watermoon Cavern had come even though there was almost a whole year to go and it had only been three months.

The variation in affairs was beyond expectations. After a while, Qing Hanye showed up. She was worried as she understood the situation but she couldn’t avoid it nor refuse to return. Moreover, she couldn’t abandon her master there.

Staring at Qing Shui, she looked upset.

“Let’s go. I’d go along with you to see what kind of men the Watermoon Cavern had sent.” Qing Shui, looking casual at the moment.

Qing Hanye felt slightly relieved after seeing Qing Shui being so relaxed. He had a magical charm that made everything seemed effortless with his presence. Things would fall into places naturally.

“Do you really want to go?” Qing Hanye asked Qing Shui after a brief thought.

Qing Shui nodded. He couldn’t state it too corny or act too intimately as there were others around. Qing Hanye felt his intent from Qing Shui’s eyes and blushed.

Sunset Palace Mistress and other Mistresses wanted to go as well but Qing Shui made them stay, considering that Qing Xiu was still young. It was sufficient for him to visit the Dragonwolf Palace alone.

The Mistresses knew Qing Shui’s personality well. His every decision was his final word, especially in such matter. Hence, they didn’t say much except reminding them to be careful.

“Are you sure?” It was the third time that Qing Hanye had asked the question along the journey.

“You really do not have any faith in your man, do you?” Qing Shui was left speechless. It was logical since they didn’t know his guiding ability.

“Jiange and the rest cannot live without you.” Qing Hanye said in slight agony.

“Hence I’ll be fine, don’t worry. I won’t blindly fight to the death. I must have certain confidence in the fact that I had the courage to come.”

“If you didn’t have any confidence, would you not have come then?” Qing Hanye asked, grasping the slightest mistake in his words.

“I’d have to create confidence if I don’t have it. When there’s a will, there’s a way. I can work my brains out for you. There’s nothing that can defeat us.” Qing Shui sounded vague.

Qing Shui felt something was fishy once stepping into the Eastern peak Dragonwolf Palace. There were obviously people who weren’t from Dragonwolf Palace. These men appeared arrogant, as if they’re more superior in the Dragonwolf Palace.

Seeing such situation, Qing Hanye’s expression was unpleasant. What men did the Watermoon Cavern send? How come there were so many of them? She had met more than 300 of them along the way and they were all really good.
