C95 Part3

....

Murong Yu clasped her wrist and walked out quickly,

"Let's go to Xuanyuetan, the Black-Moon Lake."

Murong Ci subconsciously broke free from his grip, with her eyes wide open and her cheeks slightly hot.

It took about half an hour to ride horses from there to Xuanyuetan, the Black-Moon Lake.

They took more than two hundred people out of the city, and the roar of galloping horses awakened the people who were already sleeping.

Xuanyuetan, the Black-Moon Lake was located thirty miles south of the city, and it was named like that because of its shape and appearance resembling a dark moon.

The horses galloped past the bushes, flew into the dark, and startled countless birds.

The stars were dazzling in the middle of the night, so clear and bright, as if they could be picked off with a hand.

In the dark night, the path was quiet, and occasionally there was the howling of a wild beasts.

Because there was an underground hot spring at the bottom of the lake, whether it was day or night, Xuanyuetan was filled with mist, like the sea of clouds and the fairy lakes in the magical lands of fairytales, which made it look especially mysterious.

On the east side of the lake, there was a cluster of Roselle flowers.

The deep red blossoms were beautiful and enchanting under the cover of the mist.

Murong Yu and Murong Ci, with the hundreds of people, dismounted two miles away from the lake and swiftly approached the target as if they were approaching an enemy.

Murong Ci looked at the hot spring, which was ten feet away from them, and suddenly felt something was a little wrong.

"What's the matter?"

He turned around to look at her.

"I've been feeling as if something is wrong, but..."

She frowned,

"Don't you think it's too smooth?"

"It was too smooth indeed."

He had already noticed this.

'The Young Master in Golden Clothes immediately abandoned the Linglong Pavilion and the underground world in which he had been operating for many years, without letting anyone know his true identity, and preserved himself and his strength.

This showed that he was thoughtful and smart.

And since he ordered everyone to withdraw, how could he leave behind such an obvious clue as the Roselle Flower for us to find, that would lead us to this place?'

Her eyes were covered with haze,

"There's no place to hide in Xuanyuetan, so it shouldn't be the hiding place of the Young Master in Golden Clothes."

Murong Yu's deep eyes were icy cold,

"We were tricked."

Murong Ci said bitterly,

"It's my fault for being too careless."

Murong Yu walked towards Xuanyuetan and leisurely walked in the white mist generated by the steamed water of the hot spring.

She followed and asked,

"What are you looking for?"

"Your Highness, this place is so quiet, and the hot spring water is clear and comfy, so why don't we go to the hot spring and bath together?"

He suddenly smiled secretly,

"At least we wouldn't have come here for nothing."

"The Prince Regent's brain must be broken!

This Prince will ask the Imperial Physician to look for a diagnosis and treatment for the Prince."

She glared at him angrily, and walked back without looking back.

Murong Yu looked at the beautiful hot spring of Xuanyuetan, and sighed with regret.

Thinking of being played with a fake clue by the Young Master in Golden Clothes, he clenched his fists and his joints snapped.

Back in the city, Murong Ci was about to go back to the East Palace, but saw him walking over, as if he had something to say.

"There's still a clue to check, does Your Highness want to go?"

He threw a bait and waited for the big fish to be hooked.

"What's the clue?"

As soon as the words were spoken, she had an inspiration,

'Right! There's still another important clue!'
