Ao Song let out a disappointed 'oh', while Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun exchanged a secret glance. Others might not know, but they were aware that the enigmatic master was none other than Jing Shuang. They had met her; she was clearly a woman younger than Gao Zhou, so why had she turned into an old man?
Bai Ruozhu didn't know why Gao Zhou lied, but she guessed that Jing Shuang might be Ao Song's missing aunt. Gao Zhou probably suspected this too but didn't want to expose Jing Shuang.
The journey went smoothly, and soon they entered Danliang Country. The group finally found a large inn to rest. Shortly after, Gao Zhou rushed into the room to find Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu.
"Don't talk too much with Ao Song," Gao Zhou emerged with a serious look.
"Is Senior Jingshuang her aunt?" Jiang Yichun's tone soured at the mention of Jing Shuang, as he disliked the woman who seemed to want his mother's position.
