People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Inside the city, the Moon Goddess looked at the gentle and elegant Ehuang with a somewhat complicated expression.

As she rushed here, she noticed something was wrong with Ehuang, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

I don't know if bringing her to Xianyang and sending her to that boy's side is a good thing or a bad thing.

Ehuang smiled gently and said, "Moon Goddess, where is that man named Cao Ze? I want to go find him now..."

The Moon Goddess was silent for a moment, then said, "I will take you there."

Chapter 402 A Ghost Knocking on the Door in the Middle of the Night

At the main gate of the Cao family mansion, two enormous red gauze lanterns swayed in the night breeze.

The Moon Goddess clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and Ehuang followed closely behind her.

"Moon Goddess, is this the place?"

"I asked curiously," Ehuang asked.

The Moon Goddess gave Ehuang a deep look, "It's here. The person you're looking for is inside."

"Why didn't the Moon Goddess knock on the door?"

Ehuang asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Moon Goddess took a light breath, her beautiful eyes twitching slightly as she involuntarily recalled the day Cao Ze punched her and swelled her face.

That day was definitely the darkest day of my life.

They really are a pair of scoundrels. Birds of a feather flock together. They're both so violent towards her.

"I have a grudge against him, so knock on the door yourself."

After the Moon Goddess finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and whispered, "If you want him to tell you where Xiangjun is, don't say that I brought you here."

Ehuang asked blankly, "Then what should I say?"

The Moon Goddess's face showed faint bulging veins; she had never seen such a foolish woman before, like a little girl who had never seen the world.

"Just tell them that Yanfei asked you to find him."

The moon goddess uttered a single sentence, then turned and disappeared into the dimly lit street.

She didn't want to spend even a quarter of an hour with Lady Xiang. This woman gave her an inexplicable chill, a kind of terror she didn't know she possessed.

This is also why she placed Ehuang with Cao Ze.

Ehuang stared blankly as the moon goddess departed, a hint of sadness in her gentle, watery eyes.

Why is no one willing to stay by my side?

Did she do something wrong?

Ehuang stared blankly at the plaque inscribed with the words "Cao Mansion," her mind filled with fragmented memories.

"Thump, thump thump..."

A gentle knock sounded at the door, and Wushuang Gui, who was lying on the ground in the courtyard enjoying the cool air and fast asleep, suddenly sat up.

He touched his shiny bald head and looked at the door with some confusion.

Who is knocking on the door so late?

The dull footsteps sounded, and Ehuang withdrew her hand, hesitant to knock any further.

Cao Ze, who was meditating in the backyard, heard Jing Ni's voice: "Someone's here."

Cao Ze suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a sword as he looked toward the door.

Is it Xuan Jian...?

Before long, the beautiful and delicate Ehuang was surrounded by Cao Ze and his men.

Cao Ze frowned as he looked at the woman knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and the name "Xiang Furen" immediately came to mind.

"who are you?"

Cao Ze pretended not to know and asked.

Ehuang said timidly, "I am Ehuang, the Lady of Xiang from the Yin-Yang School. The Moon Goddess sent me to find you."

"Oh, by the way, she said she has a grudge against you and told me to say that Lady Yanfei is here to see you."

Cao Ze looked at Ehuang with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, almost bursting into laughter.

"You said the moon goddess sent you?"

Ehuang replied matter-of-factly, "Yes, she said you know the whereabouts of Shun."

Cao Ze was speechless, somewhat confused about what his sister-in-law wanted to do to him.

Did you know that your brother-in-law was lacking women?

Cao Ze glanced around and saw that apart from the persistent chirping of cicadas, there was almost no other sound.

"Let's talk inside."

Ehuang had no suspicion of anyone and obediently went into the mansion with Cao Ze.

Jingni, holding her sword, looked at Ehuang, who seemed like someone anyone could bully, and frowned slightly.

She vaguely sensed a danger emanating from Ehuang, a threat that could threaten her.

This doesn't seem like an illusion.

Outside Cao Ze's residence, the Moon Goddess gazed wistfully at the tightly closed gates.

What secrets are hidden within Xiang Jun Shun and Xiang Fu Ren...?

Ya Fei watched the departing Moon Goddess and chuckled, "How interesting, the Moon Goddess would actually do such a thing."

She also knew a little about the conflict between Cao Ze and the Moon Goddess.

Zi Nu nodded and said, "My intuition tells me that there is something wrong with this woman."

Lord Longyang, Gongsun Long, and Wei Zhuang were monitoring the Prime Minister's residence, while the others were monitoring Cao Ze's side.

However, they discovered that they were not the only ones monitoring Cao Ze; there were also many members of the Luo Wang organization watching from all around.

In addition, there are other forces with ulterior motives also present.

Even more interestingly, they stumbled upon the figure of the farmer's disciple.

Inside the Cao residence, Cao Ze and Ehuang were staring at each other.

"You said the Moon Goddess said I know Xiang Jun Shun?"

Ehuang said, "Yes. The Moon Goddess said you know Shun Jun."

Cao Ze was confused. What was his sister-in-law up to?

"...I don't know any Xiangjun. Go back to the Yin-Yang School tomorrow."

Ehuang hesitated and asked, "Where in Xianyang are the Yin-Yang School located?"

Cao Ze wanted to laugh but didn't know what to laugh at, so he patiently said, "It's the place where east and west meet, facing south, a place where yin and yang are intertwined."

As the Water Minister of the Yin-Yang School, Ehuang was naturally familiar with Feng Shui metaphysics.

"okay, I get it."

Cao Ze waved his hand: "Li Wu, prepare a guest room for her to stay for one night."

Even though the Moon Goddess tricked him into coming here, he couldn't very well kick such a naive and simple-minded girl out in the middle of the night.

No matter what, he and Yanfei had a relationship.

Cao Ze paused for a moment, then said, "Speaking of which, what has Yan Fei been doing these days? We can't even get her to come out."

After Li Wu led Ehuang away, Jing Ni stepped forward and said with a serious expression, "This Lady Xiang is no ordinary person."

Cao Ze yawned. "I can see that. It would be better if he were more normal."

Through their brief encounter, it was clear that something was off about Ehuang. She was honest to the point of being stubborn, but she wasn't stupid either; at the very least, she was very well-behaved.

Jing Ni frowned and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant her strength."

Cao Ze was slightly taken aback, and asked solemnly, "Is it very strong?"

He didn't really test Ehuang's strength. The five elders of the Yin Yang School, no matter how strong, shouldn't be able to compare to Yan Fei. At most, they would be at the half-step Grandmaster level.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Ehuang.

Now that I think about it carefully, it's extremely unusual that the Moon Goddess would send a silly and cute older sister to me in the middle of the night.

"I can't explain it clearly. Her strength should be at the first-class level, but I can still feel a slight, subtle threat from her."

Cao Ze rubbed his head. He was just trying to cultivate at home, so why did a bunch of demons and monsters always have to jump out at him?

"Never mind, just keep a close eye on it. We can send it to the Yin Yang family and give it to Yan Fei tomorrow."

No matter what, Yanfei is the second-in-command of the Yin-Yang School.

Besides, Ehuang had no grudge against him, so she couldn't just be bewitched by the moon goddess and go to fight him to the death, could she?

late at night.

A night breeze suddenly arose, and the dark clouds that had obscured the moon slowly dispersed, revealing a crescent moon that quietly shone its clear light upon the room where Ehuang was sleeping.

Outside, Yan Lingji and Li Wu chatted idly about various trivial matters, discussing in low voices how to exploit Cao Ze, occasionally glancing at the room where Ehuang was to prevent any accidents from happening.

"Waaah, waaah..."

A soft, mournful sound drifted to the two women's ears on the night breeze.

Li Wu, who was extremely sensitive to sound, immediately held her breath and whispered, "It's crying..."

A flicker of fire suddenly appeared in Yan Lingji's eyes. "What's going on?"

She was extremely sensitive to temperature and immediately sensed something was wrong; the July night shouldn't have felt as cool as an autumn night.

"Shh~"

Li Wu gave Yan Ling Ji a wink, and the two women tiptoed to the room where Ehuang was staying, listening intently.
