In an instant, Chu Yue relied on a piece of bamboo and a flute to attract the help of countless birds. Although the lake was wide, it did not take long to reach the pavilion. After getting to the pavilion, Chu Yue

Then he put the flute away and stepped onto the steps.

The birds also dispersed at this moment.

Looking up, the pavilion doesn't seem very big when viewed from a distance.

Now that I have walked in, I realize that it is indeed quite big.

The water beside the lake spreads on the stairs one by one. There are twenty stairs by visual inspection.

When Chu Yue walked up, she found that there was no one in the circular pavilion. There was only a stone table and a few stone benches.

Feeling suffocated, Chu Yue gritted her teeth.

The damn housekeeper...did he actually trick her into coming to this pavilion?

Now that she is here, there is no one there. How can this be broken?

Bai Yu jumped down from Chu Yue's shoulder, walked around the table for a few times, wrinkled his little nose and started sniffing fiercely.

Seeing Bai Yu's abnormal movements, Chu Yue also squatted down and looked around, but didn't find anything strange.

After a while, Bai Yu tilted his neck, opened his golden eyes wide, and gestured towards Chu Yue.

"There was someone here just now!"

Well? After understanding what Bai Yu meant, Chu Yue suddenly tensed up.

Bai Yu said there was someone here just now, so how could there be no one in the blink of an eye? Could it be that... he had already left? But when she came here just now, she didn't even see a single person! And there were no ships around, so what happened to the people on it?

Left?

Or...

Then before the housekeeper brought her here, the people who were here had already left?

What a rip-off!

Really wanting to curse loudly, Chu Yue took a deep breath and hit the stone table with her fist.

The sound was not loud, but it was not small either. At least Chu Yue felt a heartbreaking pain extending from her fist to the pit of her heart.

"It's rare that you can come here without getting wet."

Just when Chu Yue was extremely angry, she suddenly heard another deep voice.

kindness?

Liu eyebrows were raised fiercely, Chu Yue immediately raised her head and looked around, and her whole body suddenly became cold.

There are people around.

Bai Yu obviously felt it too, but he was not as confused as Chu Yue. He just sniffed his nose, suddenly raised his head, and his bright eyes wandered twice, as if he had discovered something. When he raised his head again, he let out a sigh.

He ran away without a trace.

Chu Yue raised her eyebrows, turned around and followed.

Bai Yu's sense of smell is very sensitive, so he might have discovered something.

When he passed by in the blink of an eye, he found an old man fishing on the other side of the pavilion.

After a pause, Chu Yue did not go over immediately, but stood there and looked at it.

The man was not dressed in fancy clothes, but in a simple suitcase. He also wore something similar to a bamboo hat. He was holding a fishing rod in his hand and was fishing.

Bai Yu looked blankly at the fish basket beside the man, looking at it eagerly and drooling.

"I heard that the third lady of the Duke's Mansion led Tianxuan's army to defeat the masked general of the Yue Kingdom with just one person?" The man spoke leisurely, without even turning around to look at Chu Yue behind him.

When he didn't get an answer, the man spoke again, "I also heard that you attracted a flock of birds to help the prince?"

Slowly listening to the man counting his great achievements during this period, Chu Yue frowned and walked over slowly.

The housekeeper said before that the master is waiting for her here. In other words, the person waiting for her here is the Duke of Chu? Is he her nominal father?
