While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

Youcao remained silent, accepting everything with a shy and timid demeanor.

……

Soon after, Jiang Sishui left Wanzhou and entered Yuzhou.

"Among the four beauties, Ren Yingying is both beautiful and intelligent..."

Jiang resolutely headed towards Luoyang, hoping to encounter the proud heroine in Green Bamboo Lane.

Within Guiyun Manor, a woman is as graceful as a chrysanthemum, as elegant as bamboo, and as ethereal as a daffodil.

Mantuo Villa.

Among the recent newcomers, Huang Rong and Li Yuhu are the most compatible.

Both of them were lively, active, and playful. In the flower forest, on the lake, and so on, their laughter filled the air.

Suddenly, Huang Rong let out a soft exclamation and turned to look in another direction of Taihu Lake.

Li Yuhu, being straightforward, asked upon seeing this, "Rong-meimei, what's wrong?"

"My mother is also on this Taihu Lake."

"Your mother?"

"Yes, I sensed her location through the 'Kunji Seal'."

"Then let's quickly bring your mother over to play!"

Huang Rong had the same idea, and said to Li Yuhu, "Sister Yuhu, wait a moment, I'll go find Azhu and Abi, they are the most familiar with Taihu Lake."

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll go prepare the boat for you." Li Yuhu waved his hand.

After saying that, the two parted ways.

A moment later, Huang Rong, along with A Zhu and A Bi, met up with Li Yuhu on the shore.

The four boarded the boat and rowed in the direction Huang Rong pointed.

Half a day later, the small boat came to a water island. Looking into the distance, one could see a magnificent manor house nestled among the winding pavilions on the shore.

Abi rowed the boat slowly, looking ahead and asked, "Sister Rong, have we arrived?"

Huang Rong nodded: "This is it. Sister Abi, where is this?"

Without hesitation, Abi replied, "This is Guiyun Manor."

“Guiyun Manor…” Huang Rong murmured, certain she had never heard of the name before, and guessed it was an insignificant force.

The small boat was moored on the bluestone dock. The four women went ashore, crossed a large stone bridge, and were about to go forward to pay their respects to the village head.

Huang Rong suddenly stopped and also stopped the three women.

The latter looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Huang Rong laughed and said, "It's no fun going up like this. Let's sneak into the manor and give my mother a surprise."

Li Yuhu immediately chimed in, "Great idea! I agree!"

Azhu and Abi exchanged a glance and could only nod in agreement.

The four found a corner and easily scaled the wall to enter.

The pavilions and terraces within the manor are exquisitely laid out, with paintings in the windows and gardens inside the gates, showcasing the architectural style of Jiangnan.

However, Huang Rong showed a slight surprise when she saw the road layout and architectural style here.

Azhu suddenly said, "The architecture here seems to conceal the art of divination and escape."

"Qimen Dunjia?" Li Yuhu's eyes widened, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.

After all, she knew absolutely nothing about this dish.

"This is Qimen Dunjia. Follow me."

Huang Rong called out, and the three women followed without asking any further questions.

Huang Rong led the way, but instead of moving forward, she went backward.

The roads in the village meander east and west, and what's particularly strange is that the railings and pavilions at the turns are exactly the same.

After a few turns, how could one distinguish east from west, north from south?

However, Huang Rong felt as if she were at home and walked away quickly without hesitation.

Sometimes, when there seems to be no way out, she will slip through the artificial hills, wander around the flowerbeds, and somehow end up in the corridor.

Sometimes it seems like you've reached the end, but who knows what other secluded places lie behind the screen or behind the big tree.

Instead of walking through the wide-open moon gate, she pushed open a completely invisible doorway in the wall.

The three women followed behind, witnessing the whole thing. The further they went, the more curious they became. Li Yuhu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Sister Rong, the roads in this manor are really strange. How do you recognize them?"

Huang Rong gestured for her to be quiet, then turned seven or eight more corners, surveyed the terrain, silently counted on her fingers several times, and treaded on the ground to count her steps.

All I heard was her soft recitation: "Zhen one, Tun three, Yi five, Fu seven, Kun..."

Huang Rong counted as she walked, stopping at one point and saying, "Go up!"

Then he leaped over a small wall.

The three girls followed suit.

Looking at the spacious courtyard before her, Huang Rong explained, "This estate was built according to the orientation of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Fuxi I Ching. My father taught me these arts of divination and the Eight Trigrams since I was a child."

The three women suddenly understood. Li Yuhu looked at them with envy and admiration: "Sister Rong is really amazing. She can cook delicious food and is also proficient in Qimen Dunjia."

Huang Rong chuckled upon hearing the praise, feeling quite pleased herself.

He then frowned and pondered, "However, why do the strange methods and techniques within this manor seem so familiar?"

"Mother has appeared here again. Could it be that Guiyun Manor has some connection with my Peach Blossom Island?"

Huang Rong seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly looked at Abi and asked, "Sister Abi, who is the owner of Guiyun Manor?"

Requesting flowers (or flowers)

She had initially dismissed Guiyun Manor as a minor power and had no interest in finding out more, but things were different now.

Abi replied, "The master of Guiyun Manor is said to be named Lu Chengfeng."

"..."

"Sister Rong, is there something wrong with this person?"

Huang Rong looked at him strangely and said, "Among the six disciples my father took in back then, there was one named Lu Chengfeng, who was the fourth."

The three women were taken aback. So they had sneaked into their own family's yard?

Huang Rong, however, was not pleased by this; instead, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Huang Yaoshi broke Lu Chengfeng's legs and banished him from Peach Blossom Island. Given his personality, it's impossible for him to feel at ease being a guest here.

... ... 0

But Feng Heng just happened to appear here.

What is the reason for this?

Huang Rong immediately thought of two possibilities.

Firstly, Lu Chengfeng harbored resentment because of what happened back then, and he plotted against Huang Yaoshi. Although Feng Heng was protected by the "Kunji Seal" and was unharmed, he was still forced to come under duress.

Secondly, Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng separated, and the latter was invited to the manor for some reason.

Realizing that Feng Heng might be in a bad situation, Huang Rong couldn't remain calm. She immediately called the three women and headed towards Feng Heng's location.

Just then, a green shadow flashed before their eyes, and a person blocked their way.

"Who are you? Why have you infiltrated Guiyun Manor?"

A delicate and clear voice came from Tan's mouth, and all four women turned to look.

The newcomer was a young girl, dressed in a light blue long robe, holding a jade flute in her hand. Her oval face was dignified and beautiful, and her graceful figure was so light and lithe that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

The girl's face was radiant, her skin as white as snow; she was already a stunning beauty who rivaled any other woman.

But what stands out most is her elegant, reserved, gentle, and serene temperament.

Looking at the girl in front of them, the four women couldn't help but think of the bamboo and chrysanthemum, two of the Four Gentlemen of Flowers.

Then, they thought of the pure and elegant narcissus.

The four women were all amazed. Huang Rong stepped forward and asked, "Are you Cheng Ying?"

The girl in the blue dress was slightly surprised: "You know me?"

Huang Rong smiled and said, "My name is Huang Rong."

201 Feng Heng, who was abandoned

"Huang Rong? You're Huang Rong? Huang Rong from Peach Blossom Island?"

Cheng Ying looked surprised and carefully examined Huang Rong.

After all, she had seen this name frequently ever since she obtained the copy of the diary, and over time, she almost forgot how to recognize the two characters.

Then, she looked at the three women following behind Huang Rong.
