After piquing her curiosity, Shui Yixuan planned to take a good stroll around the island. Unexpectedly, just after stepping out of the prison cell and not even having the time for a cup of tea, he found himself surrounded by elite fighters. Then, a noble and graceful young man in blue descended from the sky. This person, with a delicate coronet, holding a jade flute, landed lightly in front of him.

Shui Yixuan looked him up and down and felt a sense of familiarity, especially with the flute in his hand, which seemed vaguely familiar. He furrowed his brows.

"I accidentally stumbled in here and have disturbed everyone; my apologies. I am Shui Yixuan of the Shui Clan from the Holy Dynasty. I ended up here because my boat was wrecked. I hope you can grant me some convenience."

The other party, upon hearing Shui Yixuan’s words, seemed expressionless, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then, Shui Yixuan handed over his family token. After a careful inspection, the young man in blue immediately retreated a step and bowed respectfully.

"I didn’t know the Shui Clan Young Master was here; please forgive us. As for the other person in the prison..."

"It’s a coincidence, the other person is Beiming Yi, the Prince Yi of the Holy Dynasty, who boarded the boat with me."

The young man in blue’s expression finally showed a slight change. When Shui Yixuan announced his name, he had some suspicions, but he didn’t expect that the background was equally significant. When he thought about it carefully, considering the leg disability and extraordinary demeanor, combined with the fact that he could come ashore with Shui Yixuan, there was only one such person on the continent.

"You have seen my territory, and according to my rules, you should be dealt with. However, considering your special status, I will let you off temporarily. You are not welcome here. I’ll immediately arrange for someone to escort you off the island!"

"Wait, wait a moment, there’s another person. She left while we were adjusting our breath. Presumably, she’s gone to find something for us. She’s my personal servant, quite young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking very slight, I must trouble you, the host, to help find her, or ask your people if they have seen her."

Three people? And you lost one?

When the young man in blue frowned and looked toward his people, they all knelt down simultaneously. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Reporting to the Palace Master, subordinates did not see anyone else, only these two. We’ll start searching immediately."

After people left, Shui Yixuan touched his own stomach and smiled sheepishly.

"Um, could we get something to eat? I’m almost starving!"

The young man in blue deeply furrowed his brows but did not refuse. Instead, he waved to someone nearby, and a maid appeared: "This way, Young Master, please."

Shui Yixuan smiled and thanked them, but as he was walking, he suddenly remembered something.

"Ah, I just thought you looked familiar, aren’t you the Sixth Prince of Lanyue Country, Murong Han?"

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and the young man in blue narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You recognize me?"

The voice sounded calm, but Shui Yixuan sensed the danger, yet he felt like it was a fortuitous encounter after a hard search.

He’s not worried at all about the possibility of being assassinated.

"A direct disciple of the Tianshan Taoist, that jade flute is the old man’s signature weapon. My grandfather and the old Taoist are sworn brothers, how could I not recognize you?"

Thinking about it, he chuckled, "Don’t keep a straight face, after all, you are a generation older than me, considering my grandfather and your master are close friends, you can’t just treat me casually, right? Rest assured, I won’t speak of this place, but as for the other person, that’s uncertain. You also know, both of you are from the Imperial Family, who knows, you might clash someday. If you don’t want to let him go, then just finish him with a sword!"

Murong Han’s eyes shone with a glassy brilliance: "So, I should thank you for advising me, right?"

"Oh, no need. But for my little brother, you must find him well. If you can’t find him, the loss will be yours, she’s not an ordinary person!"

The little girl was going to Lanyue to find her brother, but things went awry halfway, and now the brother has ended up knocking on their door. It’s hard to tell if this is luck or misfortune.

Murong Han detected some subtleties in Shui Yixuan’s words, and his lips curved slightly: "You say she’s not a normal person, who exactly is she?"
