In the deep night when the moon was hidden by clouds, Lu Wangyou's small courtyard with blue tiles was shrouded in ink. In the main hall, the candlelight cast his pacing figure on the carved lattice fan, breaking it into a messy silhouette.

Beside the Eight Immortals Table, Fu Xiu Yu paused holding the teacup, finally put down the half-cold tea, and spoke helplessly.

"Xiao Wangyou, isn't Yue just going to a party? Why are you so restless?"

"Brother, I'm sorry. I don't really want to do this, but the way Su Lingbing and Su Lingshuang looked at Sister Yue was too passionate. I always felt..."

Lu Wangyou suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words, because the gazes of the brother and sister made him feel very uncomfortable, and an inexplicable ominous premonition arose in him.

"Eyes? Isn't Yue girl their goddess? The way they look at her is naturally full of admiration. You, on the other hand, are just too concerned. Come on, here's what I just brewed..."

Before Fu Xiuyu could utter the word "tea", Mrs. Xue, with disheveled hair and unshaven beard, fell into everyone's sight as if swept by a strong wind.

"Xiao Wangyou, where is your lover now? The dagger he gave me is truly extraordinary. I've studied it for so many days and still can't figure out what material it is made of!"

"Uncle Xue, Sister Yue is not my mistress, but my wife. Please be more respectful when addressing her from now on!"

Lu Wangyou looked solemn, his eyes fixed on Madam Xue.

"Sister Yue? Wife? Strange, shouldn't these be used to describe women? Why do I remember that Da Zhuang was a man? He..."

Before Mrs. Xue could finish her words, Fu Xiu Yu suddenly interrupted her.

"Xiao Xue, this is a long story, but since you want to find the little guy who gave you the dagger, we'll take you there!"

"Great! Let's go now. I must ask her how this dagger was forged!"

Mrs. Xue nodded repeatedly, unable to conceal her joy, but Lu Wangyou frowned slightly, his eyes filled with worry.

"But Brother, didn't Su Lingshuang and the others only invite Sister Yue and Grandpa Fu? If we go..."

"No, no, no, we're not going there ourselves, but to show Xiao Xue the way. If Grandpa blames us, we can say that Xiao Xue threatened to die, and we can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Fu Xiu Yu's lips curled up into a smile, and he tilted his head to look at Madam Xue. The latter immediately straightened her back, slapped her chest hard with her palms, and burst into hearty laughter.

"Yes, if Grandpa Fu wants to blame anything, just put the blame on me. We, the Xuelin Warriors, are willing to die for our friends!"

"Not bad, not bad. I haven't seen you for so many years, Xiao Xue. You're still as nice as you were back then... That's very kind. And you're speaking the language of our East Continent better and better!"

The word "lie" that was about to come out of Fu Xiu Yu's mouth was swallowed back into his stomach. Then, he raised his hand and gestured, warmly inviting Mrs. Xue to walk out the door together.

Seeing this, Lu Wangyou immediately quickened his pace to catch up, not daring to delay any longer. The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger, and he intuitively felt that his sister Yue was about to be in trouble.

On the other side, Bai Yue was following a handsome man in a small courtyard. When they arrived in front of a house, the man suddenly stopped and bowed to her in a low and respectful voice.

"Your Highness, the Palace Master and the Pavilion Master are waiting inside. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave!"

"Protector Xiuyun, where is Grandpa Fu?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Elder Doctor Fu will naturally be looked after by the Yunxiu Guardian. We will definitely treat him as our most distinguished guest and will not slack off in the slightest!"

This tall and handsome man was Su Xiuyun who had taken off her women's clothes. Bai Yue couldn't help but ask curiously when she heard him still calling Su Yunxiu the protector.

"Guardian Xiuyun, you've already restored your true identity. Are you still unwilling to acknowledge Guardian Yunxiu as your father?"

“…Your Highness, I, I’m not ready yet!”

Su Xiuyun pursed her lips tightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was struggling fiercely in her heart. After a long time, her Adam's apple rolled slightly, and she opened her lips with some difficulty.

"After all, I have hated him for so many years, but suddenly I found out that my enemy is actually my father. This makes me, I..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I just asked casually, you don't need to be so stressed!"

Bai Yue looked at Su Xiuyun's ugly face and hurriedly tried to comfort her softly. At this moment, Su Lingshuang's joyful voice suddenly came out from the room.

"Guardian Xiuyun, is the goddess here?"

"Yes, Palace Master, His Highness has been invited by me!"

Su Xiuyun whispered as she slightly turned sideways and gently pushed the door with her slender and powerful hand. The door creaked open slowly. In an instant, a rich and tempting fragrance rushed to Bai Yue's nose like a naughty elf.

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the aroma of roasted venison. Could it be that Su Lingshuang and the others called me here just to treat me to a meal?"

The moment Bai Yue stepped over the threshold, a strong red color flooded her like a tide. Layers of scarlet gauze hung down like mist and clouds, covering the entire room. The flickering candlelight penetrated the gauze, casting tiny shadows on the ground. In the flickering light, there seemed to be countless ambiguous whispers flowing in the air.

"Is this still a candlelight dinner?"

Just as Bai Yue's eyes were wandering around the glaring red in the house, she heard a soft "click" and the door behind her slowly closed without a trace.

"My Lady Goddess!"

The sweet ending tone was wrapped in a warm breath, and Su Lingshuang walked out from the layers of red gauze tent. She was wearing a bright red mermaid gauze skirt. The thin material as thin as a cicada's wing wrapped around her exquisite figure. As she walked, her steps trembled, and her seductive curves were outlined in the hazy light. Under the swaying candlelight, she looked even more charming.

"Haha, your clothes are nice, they look cool!"

Bai Yue didn't think anything else and just casually praised her. When Su Lingshuang heard this, her fingertips that were twisting the hem of her skirt curled up slightly, and her drooping eyebrows could not hide the shyness in her eyes.

"Great, thank you, Goddess, for your mercy!"

"Have mercy? What mercy?"

Just when Bai Yue was wondering, the red gauze curtain suddenly rippled again, and Su Lingbing, who had shed her usual soft feminine makeup, strode out of the house, revealing her angular face.

Although he and Su Lingshuang have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes, his strong jawline and upright posture like a pine tree make him exude a completely different masculine aura.

"As expected of twin siblings! They have the same taste in clothes!"

Su Lingbing was wearing a red gauze robe made of the same material as Su Lingshuang. Her body curves showed a unique heroic style because of her broad shoulders and narrow waist.

While Bai Yue was looking at him, he was also secretly observing her. Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, he suddenly felt a little nervous. His fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes and he spoke in a whisper.

"Your Highness...Isn't it because I look too ugly now?"

"No, no, you look really good in men's clothes. You are definitely one of the rare handsome men in this world!"

Bai Yue smiled and said a few polite words. After hearing that, Su Lingbing's already flushed face became even hotter, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked a bit like a cute and innocent girl.

"Well, as long as Your Highness likes it!"

"Lady Goddess! This is the venison I specially sent someone to prepare for you. Please sit down and enjoy it!"

How could Su Lingshuang tolerate someone stealing the attention of her own goddess, so she interrupted their conversation without thinking. When Bai Yue heard that dinner was about to start, her eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't care about anything else and walked neatly to the Eight Immortals table and sat down.

Su Lingbing frowned and looked at Su Lingshuang with a hint of anger, but the other party seemed unaware. She just sat down next to Bai Yue and picked up the chopsticks attentively, ready to pick up some food for her.
