「Auspicious Clouds Villa.」
Jiang Ce quickly returned to the room he had previously occupied and gently pushed open the door.
Immediately, a wary voice sounded from within. "Who's there!"
But upon seeing Jiang Ce's face, the man was overjoyed. "Master! You're back!"
It was Yu Xuzi, whom Jiang Ce had instructed to wait here when he left. Seeing Jiang Ce drenched from head to toe, Yu Xuzi started, as if a thought had struck him. "Master, did you...?"
Jiang Ce glanced at Yu Xuzi, who immediately fell silent. However, Jiang Ce felt there was no need to hide this from him and simply nodded. "I went to the Yin and Yang Spring."
Yu Xuzi was shocked. How could you have secretly taken the treasure from inside? he thought. But in an instant, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. "But... Master, isn't there a taboo regarding the Yin and Yang Spring? It requires a man and a woman to break the formation."
Jiang Ce shook his head. "You've been deceived."
