Chapter 4827: Heartache

First Young Master Qin grunted, then raised a hand to rub his nose. He walked cheerfully to Qiao Mu's door and tapped twice gently. "Qiao Qiao? Are you alright?"

Inside, it was quiet, save for a faint, ethereal breathing sound.

First Young Master Qin stroked his chin and lightly coughed. "Qiao Qiao's asleep, don't disturb her."

The few attendants behind him all exchanged a look that conveyed 'words can't describe it.'

Weren't you two, First Young Master and Second Young Master, the ones who absolutely had to disturb someone's peaceful sleep?

The next morning.

Qiao Mu woke up refreshed and expressionlessly strolled onto the ship's deck, sitting down for breakfast as usual.

First Young Master and Second Young Master had been waiting for a long time. Seeing her approach with her small, stoic face, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

The little stoic seemed completely normal.

What exactly happened last night? they wondered, their minds itching for answers.

However, a certain haughty stoic simply wouldn't speak, and they didn't feel it was appropriate to pry.

"Qiao Qiao, have some pastry." First Young Master Qin cheerfully served her a plate of exquisite pastries, placing it directly in front of her. He feigned nonchalance as he asked, "Did someone's spiritual consciousness happen to pass through your room last night?"

Qiao Mu expressionlessly took the plate of pastries, poked a small piece with a spoon, and said faintly, "It was Seer Tu."

Everyone was taken aback.

A wisp of Seer Tu's soul hasn't dissipated, and she came to seek revenge in a dream. There was nothing wrong with saying this.

Besides, if they hadn't been sloppy in handling her, how could Seer Tu have seized the opportunity to seek revenge on her again?

The little stoic swept a disdainful glance at First Young Master.

First Young Master immediately sat up straight and quickly said with a chuckle, "Oh dear, I never imagined that old woman had such extraordinary abilities."

"Qiao Qiao, are you alright?"

"If I weren't alright, would I be sitting here for you??" Qiao Mu looked at First Young Master with an expression that said, 'you're an idiot.'

Dugu Ling and the others couldn't help but secretly snicker.

First Young Master looked at Lord Qiao Qiao with a look of heartache, and pouted speechlessly, "Alright, alright, of course Qiao Qiao couldn't be in trouble. How could a mere Seer Tu harm Qiao Qiao?"

Qiao Mu said nothing more, which meant she finally acknowledged First Qin's statement.

Everyone couldn't help but twitch their mouths in exasperation, thinking how headache-inducing this haughty little stoic was.

"Judging by the itinerary, we should reach the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm in two more days."

"You said before that the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm is guarded by the five great families of Wangchuan. Each family holds a key, and all five keys must be gathered to open the passage to the depths of the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm."

Qiao Mu paused. "You interrogated Seer Tu. Do you know where the five keys are now?"

First Young Master Qin nodded with a smile. "Roughly. We've already sent our people to scour the various families. We'll go first, and the keys will be sent afterward. That way, it won't delay the opening time of the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm."

Qiao Mu remained silent.

Currently, among the five great families of the Wangchuan Sea, the Long family brought about its own destruction, and the Duo family was practically a nominal entity. The remaining three families must be trembling in fear.

If they didn't want trouble, they definitely wouldn't cross swords with the people of the Divine Continent's Qin Estate.

So, getting those five keys really wasn't difficult at all.

Qiao Mu silently ate her pastries and millet porridge.

Although she said nothing, her mind was constantly pondering.

Previously, the little prince wanted to take her to the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm together.
