As the sun gradually rose into the sky, the people Chen Linshen sent out to find out the news finally returned.

"Prince."

The guard ran into the room panting, came to Chen Linshen, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, Yunxuan Temple is full of people from the King of Chu. I dare not get too close, lest they become suspicious.

"However, I still found out..."

Chen Linshen leaned forward: "How? Did that young lady escape?"

"Well..." the guard looked confused: "I only found out that the young lady fell from the cliff, and her life and death are unknown.

"I heard that Mu Yun went down the cliff to search for the young lady. Her current whereabouts are unknown. The King of Chu has secretly sent people to look for them."

Hearing this, Chen Linshen stood up suddenly: "Songmu, pack your things and go down the mountain immediately."

Songmu asked: "Prince, have you not seen the King of Chu?"

"He has used his tricky rules to embarrass me. How can he meet me? I want to go down the mountain to find that young lady. As long as I find that young lady and ask her to tell her about the King of Chu, my father will not blame me."

Seeing that Chen Linshen had made up his mind, Songmu immediately took people to pack things and at the same time sent someone to inform the temple.

In just one stick of incense, Chen Linshen and his party had already left the mountain gate.

"You are good at qinggong. Go down the mountain first and gather our people and ask them to go find the young lady immediately..."

Speaking of this, Chen Linshen asked: "What is that little lady's name?"

Songmu replied: "Cui Hengyue."

"Oh, Cui Hengyue, tell them to find Cui Hengyue immediately. They must find her before King Chu."

"yes."

Songmu immediately used Qinggong to go down the mountain and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Just after Chen Linshen left the temple, Mu Yun came back.

He entered the Ksitigarbha Pavilion all wet. Ignoring the strange looks from Luo Sanniang and others, he walked sullenly through the large courtyard and stepped onto the stairs to the Guanyin Pavilion.

Seeing Mu Yun turn around and walk toward the plank road when he arrived at Guanyin Pavilion, Chi Ye quickly caught up with him: "Master, you'd better change your clothes first, you might catch a cold."

Mu Yun walked straight forward.

In desperation, Akano said: "Master, the water on your body will stain King Chu's bedroom..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun turned around and walked towards his room.

He quickly changed his clothes and appeared in front of King Chu: "Master, my subordinate failed to keep an eye on Cui Hengyue and let her run away. This subordinate deserves to be punished. Please punish me."

King Chu looked at Mu Yun who was kneeling in front of him. His hair was wet. It was obvious that he had just come up from the bottom of the cliff and had not had time to deal with his hair.

After all, he is his subordinate who has been with him for decades, so there is no need to punish him for a little girl.

"Get up and speak." There was no anger in King Chu's voice.

Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

"Is Cui Hengyue still alive?" King Chu asked.

Mu Yun replied: "After Cui Hengyue jumped, I went to the bottom of the cliff to look for him. Although I was a step late, logically, I should be able to find Cui Hengyue.

"However, I searched underwater for a long time and could not find Cui Hengyue. She must have drifted downstream with the flood. I have sent people to search downstream.

"Also, I found this in the water."

Mu Yun took out a wet purse and held it up to King Chu.

The King of Chu looked at it and found that it was indeed Cui Hengyue's. He had seen it on Cui Hengyue's body.

etc--

The king of Chu took the purse.

"Master..." Seeing King Chu looking at him seriously, Mu Yun immediately closed his mouth.

If he had known that the master wanted to hold it for himself, he would have washed it before bringing it over.

"Snapped"

King Chu threw his wallet on the table and said expressionlessly: "It seems that Cui Hengyue is smarter than I thought, and he was able to get the key to the South Palace..."

Mu Yun lowered his head: "Yun Chen failed to keep track of the key. I have already punished him and ordered someone to change the locks of the south hall.

"However, the main responsibility for this matter still lies with me."

King Chu said "Yes" and said: "You don't have to blame yourself. This is a test for Cui Hengyue. We should be happy that she can escape."

"I..." Mu Yun stopped talking.

Even though he said this, he was still very depressed.

He had expected that Cui Hengyue would take action, but he did not expect that Cui Hengyue would choose to take action at dawn, and he also avoided the guards of Guanyin Pavilion and Wenshu Pavilion and went directly to the south gate of Ksitigarbha Pavilion.

When he thought that Cui Hengyue opened the south gate with a key, he became even more upset. This fat boy, Yun Chen, was so unreliable that he couldn't even hold the key.

He set up a tight defense, but in the end he let a little girl named Cui Hengyue escape. This incident deeply affected him and made him feel ashamed to see anyone.

"Okay, Cui Hengyue escaped from the South Palace. This incident will definitely cause turmoil in the South Palace. You go back and take a good look at the people in the South Palace. As for the search for Cui Hengyue, leave it to Mu Huo."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun's heart fell to the bottom. The master did not even give him a chance to redeem himself, which showed that the master was really disappointed in him.

"......yes."

Mu Yun walked out of the dormitory with a dejected look.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Seeing Mu Yun walking out with his head lowered, Mu Shui couldn't help but express concern.

"I..." Mu Yun raised his head and glanced at Mu Shui, then lowered his head: "Cui Hengyue escaped from under my nose..."

Mu Shui was shocked: "That little girl could actually escape from your hands?"

"Look, even you don't believe it, but it just happened. I failed so much." Mu Yun lowered his head.

"..."

Mu Shui hesitated for a moment, then softened his voice and comforted him: "It's not your fault, it must be that the little girl is too cunning..."

Mu Yun raised his head suddenly: "Yes, you are right, that little girl is too cunning.

"She took advantage of her master's compassion to get back the dagger, and also deceived me into giving her a fire stick. Without these two things, how could she have broken out?"

Mu Shui was speechless, thinking that Mu Yun just passed the responsibility to Cui Hengyue, but he didn't expect that the next moment, Mu Yun lowered his head again: "After all, I am still missing a move, and I am useless...

..."

Seeing that Mu Yun was falling into self-blame again, Mu Shui felt soft and suggested, "Let me have a drink with you."

"Then let's go to Guanyin Pavilion."

...

At noon that day, Luo Sanniang and others did not see the guards escorting Cui Hengyue out to be tortured. They also saw the guards of the South Palace coming and going with serious expressions, so they knew something serious had happened.

"Hey, did you know? The little lunatic committed suicide again."

Everyone looked at Qiurou: "How did you know?"

Qiu Rou glanced at Mrs. Chen, who was sitting not far away with a sad expression, and said to everyone: "I overheard what Lin Yin and Mrs. Chen were saying. It is said that the little lunatic did not want to be beheaded, so he jumped off the cliff."

"Ah, there is still flood water at the bottom of such a high cliff. Wouldn't it be a dead end if you jumped?" Luo Sanniang pretended to be surprised.

Qiurou: "Who says it's not the case? The little lunatic is so pitiful."

Luo Sanniang echoed a few words, and after finishing her meal, she quietly sneaked to the vicinity of the South Cave, learned a few pigeon calls, and then quickly left and returned to her room.

When Xie Yu in the South Cave heard the code, he was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Cui Hengyue is actually dead, that's great.
