After trying on the third wedding dress, Xu Zheng was a little overwhelmed.

Whenever she showed an impatient expression, Mo Ning would encourage her: "You are the future hostess of our Wanxiang Building! How can your wedding dress not be grand? Besides, many famous families and nobles will come here at that time, and we can't let them laugh at us!"

Xu Zheng automatically blocked her words. Meng Yin giggled beside her and couldn't help whispering to Tao Tao: "This Mo Ning was causing trouble for A Zheng a few days ago. Why did he become like this today? Does he have a split personality?"

"I don't think so." Tao Tao said helplessly. She flipped through the book in her hand. "I think this kind of makeup suits A Zheng. Yin Yin, what do you think?"

"Let me see, this one is really good..."

The chattering of the two people reached Xu Zheng's ears, and she couldn't help but admire their energy. She was exhausted, but they were still enjoying it.

"I don't think this can be done." Xia Nian said.

Xu Zheng thought she was going to say that this was a futile effort and was about to give her a thumbs up, but Xia Nian's next sentence ruthlessly shattered her fantasy.

"We should help Zheng put it on together, so it will be faster."

"Yes, yes!" Meng Yin agreed with both hands.

"No more..." Xu Zheng wanted to cry but had no tears. She compromised and let them pull her to change clothes.

Late at night, it was completely quiet outside, but the entire Wanxiang Building was filled with a lively atmosphere throughout the day.

Xia Nian had just finished taking a shower. She wrapped her hair with a towel and sat on the stool.

Out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught a glimpse of the cabinet next to the dressing table, which contained her things.

A strong instinct prompted her to stand up. Somehow, she felt that she needed to take out the book and read it again.

She squatted in front of the cabinet and just turned a page. To her surprise, a sentence appeared in the middle of the dim yellow paper!

She widened her eyes and saw it clearly written: Found the jade slip.

The ink-colored words didn't seem to have just appeared. She touched it with her finger, but there was no golden light this time. Xia Nian suddenly felt that this book was a prop given to them by the old man.

"I found the jade slip, but where is it?" Xia Nian bit her lip and whispered to herself.

She turned a few more pages, and the rustling sound of flipping pages was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Several pages of maps connected together were clearly imprinted in her eyes, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting out.

There are four pages in total, and the destinations on them are all pictures of a tower.

"Tower, another tower." Xia Nian panted slightly. She suddenly felt that things had moved forward several steps in an instant. "Is the jade slip in a certain tower?"

She couldn't quite understand the map, so she had to let Xiahou Yu and the others look at it.

But how are they going to explain where this map came from?

Before she could think clearly, the door was suddenly opened. She was so frightened that she immediately stuffed the book in as if she had done something wrong and slowly stood up.

"Anian, what's wrong?" Noticing her look of surprise and doubt, Xiahou Yu stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's okay." She quickly managed her expression and changed the subject, "Xia Houyu, help me dry my hair."

"Okay." He said immediately.

Feeling the warmth on his head, Xia Nian coughed lightly and asked casually: "Xia Houyu, have you found any news about the jade slip?"

"Not yet, Anian, do you care about this?" Xiahou Yu looked at her snow-white neck and asked in a low voice.

"Of course I care, otherwise your efforts would be in vain?" Xia Nian said, trying to guide Xia Houyu, "Didn't the previous Pavilion Master tell me where the jade slip might be?"

"No." Xiahou Yu shook his head and sat in front of her. Their eyes met. His face was reflected in Xia Nian's clear eyes, but why did he feel that she was hiding a secret in her heart that she had not told him?

"Because finding the jade slip is also part of testing the heir's ability, he won't tell us." Xiahou Yu added.

"So that's how it is." Xia Nian thought thoughtfully. Is it because they will definitely inherit the important task that a map appears for them to find it so as not to waste time?

"Anian, what's wrong with you?" Xiahou Yu held her hand, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

He pursed his lips and looked at her hopefully.

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of this." Xia Nian said. She couldn't bear to see Xia Houyu's eyes like that again, so she stood up and walked towards the bed.

Xiahou Yu looked at her thin back, suppressed his subconscious thoughts, and excitedly walked forward to hold her in his arms.

"Anian, it seems like we haven't had a chance to..."

Xia Nian hit him, why is he so energetic?

After all, Xiahou Yu did not succeed. Xia Nian kept thinking about the jade slip. She had a bold guess in her mind that the information in the jade slip was a reward for them. They would not go back even if they found the jade slip, because only after finding the jade slip could they officially inherit the family and sect. It was just the beginning.

Is that to completely eliminate the hidden danger that divides them? Xia Nian bit her lip and thought, and was suddenly turned over by Xia Houyu.

Xiahou Yu was dissatisfied with her having her back to him, so he forcibly pulled her into his arms.

Xia Nian closed her eyes and decided to discuss it with them tomorrow.

The next day, it was still bustling outside. The eaves were hung with red lanterns and red ribbons, and even the trees in the garden were not spared.

Everyone in Wanxiang Building tied a red ribbon around their waist. Except for those who were setting up the wedding banquet, the rest were called together by Mo Ning and were doing some training.

Xia Nian hurried to find the three people. They were playing poker in Xu Zheng's room with a smile on their faces.

"Stop playing, there's something urgent." She spread the book on the table, "Read it."

"Find the jade slip!?" Meng Yin stared with a pair of round eyes, "Are you urging us?"

"Probably not." Xia Nian shook his head and turned the book to the pages with maps. "There is a map here. This is a clue for us."

The three of them leaned over to take a look. The map was not complicated, with only a few locations on it. It was very simple and clear.

The page they were looking at was exactly the location of the Zhan Yue Pavilion jade slip. The starting point was Qinglong City, which had a place name, and the end point was a tower.

"Oh my god, finally a hint?" Xu Zheng exclaimed, her face flushed with excitement, "It looks like finding the jade slip is just around the corner!"

"That's right." Xia Nian nodded, "And I think that after we find the jade slip, we won't go back, because that's when they will officially inherit the family and the sect. It's a time to test them, and it's also the time when others are most likely to stir up trouble."

"And our mission is to stop them from splitting up, so finding the jade slip is actually... just the beginning?" Meng Yin took over.

"Well, so I have an idea. Let's split up and find the jade slips first. Once they have secured their positions and captured Old Han, we can eliminate all possibilities that might cause them to split up. Maybe..." She looked around at the three of them, "We can go back."

After hearing this, they all lowered their heads.

It sounds so far away, but I still can't help feeling sad.

"Don't be like this, A Zheng is getting married tomorrow." Meng Yin said. She looked at Xu Zheng, and rarely did she purse her lips and say nothing.

"Yeah, there's still a long time." Tao Tao said quickly.

Xu Zheng is an optimist. She prefers to enjoy the present moment. She was silent just now because she felt a little dazed.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Let's just have fun these days!" she said.

Xia Nian closed the book and sighed in her heart. Separation from her lovers, is this the punishment they get for coming here and falling in love with someone they shouldn't?
