"Are you here to see Scholar Song?" Li Haoran looked at the woman with a bun in front of him strangely.
"Exactly. I am Wu Youxue, a teacher from Xiuzhentang College. I came here specifically to look for Scholar Song." Wu Youxue was still a little nervous about the elder of the Academic Affairs Office of Donglin College in front of her.
"Song Pingzi did stay in our Donglin College for a while, but he is no longer here."
Li Haoran gave Wu Youxue disappointing news.
"Excuse me, Elder Li, where did Bachelor Song go?" Wu Youxue still held on to her last glimmer of hope.
"Song Pingzi went to the old site of the Maple Grove Forbidden Land nearly twenty years ago. If my estimate is good, he should still be there now." Li Haoran checked Wu Youxue's identity token, but he didn't hide it. The news of the closure of Pingfeng Manor is not a secret. All the sects in the Eastern Continent and Donglin College know about it.
"The old site of Maple Grove?" Wu Youxue was relieved when she heard the news.
"However, he should still be in seclusion now. It seems to have been seven or eight years. It is said that he will not be released so soon. If you want to find him, if it is not an urgent matter, I am afraid you won't be able to see him." Li Haoran again Added a piece of news that gave Wu Youxue mixed feelings.
If you are practicing in seclusion, a few years is indeed not a long time, but it also means that you should still be in Maple Grove Valley. The worry is that as Li Haoran said, it may not be easy to see.
"How far is Maple Grove from Donglin College?"
"It's not that far away, just near the Shengyun Sect of Chixia Kingdom."
"Saint Cloud Sect!" Wu Youxue couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
"Teacher Wu, what is this..." Li Haoran asked strangely when he saw Wu Youxue's appearance.
"To be honest with Elder Li, I just came from Shengyun Sect."
"Haha, I did miss it. But didn't anyone in the Shengyun Sect tell you the news? It shouldn't be the case!" Li Haoran suddenly felt confused and a little confused.
"I followed the Nebula Sect's flying boat from the southern continent and did not enter the Shengyun Sect. Naturally, I had no chance to ask." Wu Youxue also sighed with regret.
"Now that there is chaos outside, it may be inconvenient for Teacher Wu to be a single woman on the road. If you want to find out the exact information, Academician Song has a fiancée in Donglin City. You can ask for specific information, or you can get specific information. "Li Haoran saw Wu Youxue's disappointed look and thought that the other party was a teacher from Xiuzhentang Academy. He was afraid that there was really something wrong with Song Pingzi, so he gave her a way out.
"Oh! Scholar Song has a fiancée?" Wu Youxue's eyes dimmed.
"Yes. It's in Donglin City. I'll give you an address and you can go there on your own. If you need to temporarily stay in Donglin City after inquiring about the information, you will also need to pay a large amount of expenses. With the relationship between the Song Scholar, the Zhu family I shouldn't refuse reception." Li Haoran was actually helping Wu Youxue save some money.
From his perspective, Wu Youxue's age should be that of former outstanding students or bachelor-turned-teachers that various colleges have been cultivating in recent years. Such teachers generally have little sect background and their own resources are also limited, so they can save whatever they can. What's more, it's such a chaos outside now.
"Thank you, Elder Li." Of course Wu Youxue understood the other party's intention, but if she was really Song Pingzi's fiancée, she would not bother her except to inquire about Song Pingzi's specific information. Li Haoran didn't know such thoughts.
After coming out of Donglin College and asking a few passers-by according to the address given by Li Haoran, she stood a little stupid outside the gate of Zhu's house. She passed by this place after entering the city, and she glanced at the scene inside the gate that was not closed before it was closed, which made her have fascinating fantasies.
She stepped forward and knocked on the door. A maid asked her why she came and then invited her in not long after she entered.
However, when she entered and saw the maid introducing the woman sitting in the main hall, her eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. When she passed by the courtyard here, although it was only for a brief moment, the woman in the courtyard was facing her, that is, the person in front of her was correct, and the figure of the man from behind who was intimate with her was definitely not Song Pingzi.
This discovery made her both confused and angry, but also very puzzled.
"Hello, Miss Zhu! I am Wu Youxue, an old friend of Bachelor Song. I was entrusted by Xiuzhentang College to contact Bachelor Song if I have any important matters. I got the girl's address from Elder Li of Donglin College and came here rashly. I hope you won't be offended! "At Donglin College, Wu Youxue didn't say whether she had something to do with herself or if the college had something to do with Song Pingzi, but at this moment she deliberately disguised her identity as an authorized one by the college.
"Teacher Wu! What a coincidence. Song Lang has been in seclusion for a long time, and I haven't seen him since he went into seclusion." Zhu Waner did not deceive Wu Youxue. In fact, she had not seen Song Pingzi since he was in seclusion. At first, I didn't want to go to Pingfeng Manor because of trivial matters, otherwise why would I be so embarrassed and ashamed now.
"That's it! Since Miss Zhu has no news about Scholar Song, I won't bother you." Wu Youxue didn't know Zhu Waner's cultivation level, so she didn't dare to use mind reading rashly, so she said goodbye and left the Zhu family.
However, since there was no news for the time being, she discovered Zhu Waner's abnormality. She was eager to know whether Song Pingzi's fiancée had really done anything inappropriate. So after I came out, I didn't care about the cost at all. I found a nearby inn and stayed temporarily.
Careful observation naturally made her discover the secret of Liu Zhishuo's frequent visits. She also saw many times that Liu Zhishuo did not shy away from the actions of the Zhu family's maids. Zhu Waner's "shyness" became a slut in her eyes. But what's going on inside the Zhu family's gate is unknown.
In order to find out the real evidence, Wu Youxue followed Liu Zhishuo several times after he came out. It was already concluded that Liu Zhishuo was not a person of good character. I found a suitable opportunity and accidentally met him in a restaurant in Donglin City. Of course, Liu Zhishuo didn't know the true identity of this strange woman. He thought it was another love affair with a woman dressed as a girl. At first After pretending to be polite and decent, Wu Youxue was drugged by Wu Youxue a few times. When someone was half drunk, someone deliberately led the conversation, and naturally the true thoughts in his heart could not be hidden.
However, Wu Youxue, who received the accurate news, was not as angry as she was at first, but instead felt a little happy. The first is that Zhu Waner is not Song Pingzi’s wife, but the fiancée with whom she has a verbal agreement. The second is the dirty affair between Zhu Waner and Liu Zhishuo. No matter what the reason is, once Song Pingzi finds out, it is hard to predict what the outcome will be. But it is definitely impossible to be together. And isn't this his opportunity? The sad man needs comfort. Is there any better opportunity than this?
Liu Zhishuo didn't think of this at all. He originally expected to take down this girl with a round head after a few more contacts, but he didn't expect that it would bring him a fatal disaster.
Wu Youxue, who had the exact information, had no plans to stay in Donglin City. Despite the troubled times, it was not impossible for a cultivator to deliberately conceal his identity. At that time, as a teacher of Xiuzhentang Academy, he asked Shengyun Sect to take him to Song Pingzi's retreat place and tell Song Pingzi the news. This trip to find Song Pingzi would naturally lead to the outcome he wanted.
If Zhu Waner had Wu Youxue's determination and waited outside the formation, she would have been discovered in less than a month. When she went there, it was not because the formation was isolated from the outside world, but because Song Pingzi led He led the people in the manor to the abandoned place. It's a pity that as the princess of Zhu Tao Kingdom, she lacks patience.
Wu Youxue made up her mind and wanted to look for opportunities to see how Donglin City could communicate with the outside world.
Liu Zhishuo suddenly found that the woman he had recently met was missing, which made him very unhappy. Given his status, it would not take long. But when he found Wu Youxue, the other party no longer had the kind of expression that fascinated him. Instead, he felt aloof and unapproachable.
A man who always took the initiative to play tricks on others, but when he was played by others, Liu Zhishuo was furious and wanted to take action to control Wu Youxue. Unfortunately, due to his mind-reading skills, his plan failed. Wu Youxue didn't know what the other party's background was in Donglin City, and she didn't dare to strike too hard. After striking first, she fled again.
But this also reminded him that Donglin City is not the southern continent, let alone Xiuzhentang Academy. If she does not leave, she will be found sooner or later. The result of being found again is difficult to predict, but the chances of success are certain.
A woman with little experience in the world faced the angry Liu Zhishuo. Even though Wu Youxue deliberately did not want to face it, she was still noticed and informed Liu Zhishuo when she left Donglin City.
Liu Zhishuo, who led a frantic search, wanted to intercept her outside the city and chased her all the way. Wu Youxue still did not escape in the end. Even if she revealed her identity, she still could not escape. Liu Zhishuo frantically killed her near Chixia Kingdom.
Wu Youxue eventually faded away and failed to see Song Pingzi. A group of innocent souls flew into Maple Leaf Valley and stopped on the maple branches, adding another spore to Maple Leaf Valley.
