Yanjue lay on the bed, starting to ponder the issue of her original identity.

She remembered that the original owner of this body held a noble status as the legitimate daughter of the Ghost Manor's fox clan, with her family likely residing in that region.

However, just a moment ago at the Wan Yao Pavilion, the old man summoned by San Niang told her not to return to the Ghost Manor for the time being but to go to Lu Wu instead.

What was the relationship between San Niang and the original owner?

And where was Lu Wu? Yanjue couldn't help but feel confused.

The reason the original owner left Ghost Manor Mountain was that she was infatuated with the male lead, Chu Fu, and disregarded her family's opposition to descend the mountain forcefully.

Regarding this matter, the original owner's father—the hot-tempered Red Fox King who guarded Ghost Manor Mountain—was surely furious.

That's why San Niang advised her not to return to the Ghost Manor.

As for Lu Wu, it might be the home of some relatives of the original owner.

That relative was likely the "Old Madam" mentioned by San Niang.

The Old Madam could protect her.

This was about all Yanjue could guess for now.

There was nothing to be done; there was simply too little information.

In any case, this message had at least provided Yanjue with a rough direction.

If she had to run away, at least she knew where to go.

After encountering many difficulties along the way, Yanjue finally returned to the Five Dragon Mountain area.

Although she had only stayed at the foot of the mountain for two days, Yanjue felt as if a long time had passed.

At the foot of Five Dragon Mountain.

"Yanjue," Lin Xi called out.

Hearing her name, Yanjue turned to look.

Lin Xi said shyly, "Thanks to you this time..."

After all, the bad people in the Five Dragon Sect were still in the minority, and the attitudes of these two senior sisters had changed considerably toward Yanjue.

Yanjue smiled, "It's nothing; it was expected since we were working on a mission together."

Lin Xi replied, "I just don't understand. Since your cultivation level... is much higher than the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, then why...?"

She didn't finish her sentence because it was difficult to ask outright.

After all, in this world, inquiring about a cultivator's level and abilities was a serious taboo.

Indeed, if people found out that her cultivation level was far higher than her displayed energy, it would only raise curiosity.

Afterward, she would have to spend countless efforts explaining the situation.

Yanjue politely smiled, "When traveling, it's naturally better to be low-key."

Lin Xi agreed wholeheartedly.

In this cruel world, how many people had faced jealousy and even lost their lives due to their exceptional talents?

Once they reached the mountain, the group split up.
