Rong Xun and Su Yun settled down in Shunzhou Prefecture.

They tended to the flowers and plants, living a leisurely and carefree life.

However, Su Yun was not as relaxed as she appeared. She was thinking about how to find Zhang Zhao.

After Rong Xun went fishing that day, she took the token to Shunzhou Prefecture to ask the government officials for household registration and other relevant information, as well as the records of pregnant women she had collected.

When Prefect Yao saw such a beautiful young girl carrying a token from the capital, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. However, seeing the girl's noble demeanor, he didn't dare to be negligent.

They were just subtly trying to find out who she was and why she had come to the prefectural capital to collect such a thing.

The record includes a pregnant woman; this was an imperial decree personally issued by the emperor, so it could not be taken lightly!

Naturally, one wouldn't dare easily entrust it to an unknown person.

Seeing his hesitation, Su Yun didn't know what to say.

You can't exactly say she was the emperor's mother, can you?

Everyone knows that the Empress of Yuxi Kingdom is a princess of Muling Kingdom, and the Empress's mother is also from Muling Kingdom. How could she be someone who is only seventeen or eighteen years old?

Just as Su Yun was struggling with her decision, a white figure rushed over.

Prefect Yao was startled. Although there were rumors among the people that cultivators were incredibly powerful and could travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, seeing it with his own eyes today was still extremely shocking.

Rong Xun handed over the plaque of the Director of the Imperial Observatory.

Upon seeing this, Prefect Yao immediately bowed and knelt to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency, Supervisor."

As early as the beginning of the year, Xiao Yao had appointed Rong Xun as the supervisor.

"Bring up the roster immediately."

"Yes."

Prefect Yao felt a cold sweat break out; he never expected the Supervisor to suddenly appear here.

After receiving the roster, Rong Xun and Su Yun left the Shunzhou Prefectural Government.

Back at the inn.

Su Yun quickly copied it down.

Seeing how hard she was working, Rong Xun waved his hand, and the content that needed to be copied gradually appeared on the yellowed pages.

Su Yun opened her mouth, "I am also a cultivator, but I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as my master."

"Otherwise, how could he be considered one of the Five Immortals?"

"Is Xiao Lusheng just as capable?"

Rong Xun nodded.

Lately, when they talk, Yun'er always mentions Xiao Lusheng unintentionally.

"Ah."

Although Rong Xun felt a pang of sadness, he also felt that he had been fortunate enough to have these moments with Heaven.

"Then please continue to exert your strength, Master."

As she spoke, Su Yun turned to a page of the roster and told Rong Xun to continue working.

"it is good."

There were two people, one responsible for turning the pages and the other for pointing the paper to form words.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the entire roster was copied.

Su Yun rested her chin on her hand and looked at Rong Xun, "I suddenly realized that you are truly omnipotent; nothing can stump you."

"I'm so versatile, do you like me?"

"like."

Su Yun answered without hesitation, "I wish I had your ability."

Rong Xun didn't know what to say for a moment. This ability to turn stone into gold was just a skill that was given to him in this illusion, which he cultivated to achieve this.

In the Cangyun Kingdom, he only had a slight understanding of Taoist arts.

"If I'm not as amazing as you think, will you stop liking me?"

"will not."

"Oh?"

Su Yun frowned. "Stop talking about 'what ifs.' We've been idle for several days now. Shouldn't we be actively looking for people?"

Rong Xun smiled slightly, appearing unhurried.

Su Yun said, "Master, did you already know where Zhang Zhao was, so you weren't worried at all?"

Rong Xun did not answer.

Su Yun felt like she was just realizing it.

"Where exactly is it?"

Su Yun shook Rong Xun's arm, urging him to speak quickly.

Rong Xun smiled slightly as he looked at her. "No rush."

"I'm anxious. I need to see where they are before I feel at ease." As she spoke, Su Yun suddenly thought of something and looked at Rong Xun, "Don't tell me you think that once we find them, I won't travel with you anymore?"

Rong Xun: “…”

Su Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, once we find the person, we can settle down here in peace."

"We've actually already settled in."

Su Yun: “…”

Yes, they've been staying in Shunzhou Prefecture for over half a month. "So, they're in Shunzhou City?"

"Ah."

Su Yun thought about the inn they were staying at, then looked around. "Is it very close to here?"

"Yun'er is smart."

She's intelligent. If she were truly intelligent, she wouldn't have only just realized now that Rong Xun had already found Zhang Zhao.

Su Yun looked at the list in her hand. "Then, who is it?"

There are three.

"Three people?"

"Ah."

Rong Xun then opened the register and pointed to one of the names: a concubine of the prefect, a wife of a wealthy man, and the landlady of the inn where they were staying.

Su Yun stared at the roster in disbelief. "You should have said so earlier! I had to make a whole copy, and I was even thinking of returning a copy to the prefect..."

Rong Xun smiled slightly, "You didn't ask back then either."

Su Yun crossed her arms, looking angry. "So even Master can lie to me and deceive me."

"That's an exaggeration, I'm not like that."

"Humph."

Seeing her feigning anger, Rong Xun was at a loss. He really didn't know how to coax her, and could only sincerely say, "I will never dare to do it again."

"Humph!"

Rong Xun hugged her tightly, his voice trembling as he said, "Yun'er, I really know I was wrong." He paused, then admitted his mistake, "I selfishly thought that since Xiao Lusheng wasn't coming, I wanted to spend more time with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun was also stunned.

So that's what he was thinking.

Back then, during the time she and Xiao Lusheng traveled together, Xiao Lusheng probably thought the same thing, wishing that Rong Xun wouldn't appear either.

This love triangle.

Su Yun really didn't know how to balance things.

She is not someone who can balance a relationship between three people.

Their harmonious relationship is entirely due to Xiao Lusheng's magnanimity and tolerance. They also remember Rong Xun's kindness to them, and it is also thanks to Rong Xun's refusal to confront Xiao Lusheng directly.

"I know I was wrong. After Zhang Zhao's matter is settled, I'll find something to do so I won't bother you, okay?" Rong Xun's voice was hoarse with a hint of sadness as he spoke.

Su Yun grasped the hand that was wrapped around her waist, turned to look at Rong Xun, whose eyes seemed to hold a thousand sorrows, making her heart ache just by looking at them.

She turned around and hugged Rong Xun, "Don't say anything more, don't say anything more."

There is only one of her.

When one of them is with her, the other is destined to be lonely and desolate. What can she do?

Rong Xun tenderly stroked her head. How could he not know that she couldn't bear to see Xiao Lusheng sad and upset, nor could she bear to see herself sad?

"it is good."

At least, when they were together, he hoped she could be happier.

Even in an illusion.

Yun'er was also caught in the middle, powerless to control her own destiny. If she were in Cangyun Kingdom, it would only be more difficult for her—

Rong Xun knew what he had to do!

He should also live up to Yun'er's trust and affection for him.
