I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 691: Experts of the Flower Cloud Sect

It was the hour of You, and a melody had just finished.

Lu Zheng noticed that the noblewoman across also signaled her maid to draw the curtains before leaving.

"Let's go as well," Lu Zheng stood up.

Just as everyone rose, the sensation of being watched descended upon them again.

Liu Qingyan immediately looked at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng nodded subtly, without any change in expression, turned slightly to glance outside, and sensed the source of the peering sensation.

Although he couldn't see it, it was on the corridor outside the opposite room. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Is it her?"

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and, without showing any sign, subtly pinched a seal, vaguely locking onto the source.

This spell seal utilized the fluctuation of the opponent's magical power, extremely obscure, making it undetectable but also imprecise.

However, it was not an issue as they were descending together and would soon encounter the other party.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan led the way, followed by Wang Xiaowan, Du Yueyao, and Yi Xiaoqian, still chattering about the plot of "Nangong Legend".

Liu Qingyan whispered, "Lu Lang, have you found him?"

"Not yet," Lu Zheng shook his head, "but we'll know soon."

Following the crowd on this side, they quickly approached the small gate reserved for the distinguished guests of the rooms, where they met the people coming down from the opposite side—a couple of elegant young gentlemen and ladies, several middle-aged men and women dressed either modestly or luxuriously, and of course, the noblewoman they had just seen that morning.

"Doctor Liu also came to the opera?" the noblewoman said with a gentle smile.

Liu Qingyan nodded and smiled, "The Peony Troupe last came to the county three years ago, and I missed it last time, so I'm attending more shows this time."

The noblewoman laughed, "It's indeed quite good."

"By the way, my family name is Yu, and I recently moved to Tonglin County with my husband. I may need to seek Doctor Liu's guidance in the future," the noblewoman continued.

"You're too kind, Madam Yu. It's something Qingyan should naturally do," Liu Qingyan replied.

Wang Xiaowan and Yi Xiaoqian were also surprised to see Madam Yu, and Du Yueyao recounted the morning's events to them.

Then, Madam Yu walked beside Liu Qingyan, casually asking, "Does Doctor Liu enjoy listening to music?"

Liu Qingyan replied with a smile, "If the clinic isn't busy, I do come here often with friends."

"I see," the noblewoman nodded and did not continue the conversation.

The group left Yu Ling Garden together, and the noblewoman's carriage was waiting not far outside the garden. After bidding farewell, the noblewoman boarded the carriage and left.

However, Lu Zheng's group was on foot.

Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng, and before he spoke, Yue Honghai leaned over.

"Young Master!"

"Old Yue," Lu Zheng nodded, then looked at Wang Xiaowan and Yi Xiaoqian, "Are you two going home or coming over for dinner?"

Wang Xiaowan replied, "I didn't tell my family I'd be eating out."

Yi Xiaoqian also said, "I need to go home to cook for my husband."

"Alright, then, let's all head home," Lu Zheng said.

The County Government Office is also in the north of the city, so Wang Xiaowan and Yi Xiaoqian paired up and left.

Watching the two depart, the group finally turned to leave, and at the same time, Lu Zheng casually glanced at a study not far away.

At the study's entrance, a middle-aged man was casually flipping through a picture book.

...

"Lu Lang, it wasn't that Madam Yu who was watching us just now," Liu Qingyan said.

"Yes, it was the man in the blue shirt following Madam Yu," Lu Zheng replied.

Yue Honghai chimed in, "That guy seems quite skilled in Dao practice. Should I test his strength?"

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes, "Do you want to wreck Tonglin County?"

"He just placed marks on the two young ladies," Yue Honghai said. "His eyes are filled with hidden lust; he's not a good person."

Earlier, that middle-aged man placed marks on Wang Xiaowan and Du Yueyao. The difference between these two and Yi Xiaoqian and Liu Qingyan is that they are still maidens.

Du Yueyao stood aside, bewildered, "What's going on?"

"A guy from the Flower Cloud Sect has his eyes on you and Wang Xiaowan," Lu Zheng said.

Du Yueyao: (´°Δ°`)

Du Yueyao exclaimed in shock, "I didn't notice anything!"

Lu Zheng explained, "That's because this guy is quite skilled. If I hadn't practiced their Flower... cough, cough, in short, that guy's cultivation isn't weak, and he hides very well."

Liu Qingyan blushed and couldn't help but give Lu Zheng a sideways glance.

The "Flower Picking Secret Record" of the Flower Cloud Sect is, of course, a heterodox cultivation technique, but it does include some harmless little techniques for mutual stimulation between men and women.

As the saying goes, "take the essence and discard the dross." After returning from Feiyu Mountain, Lu Zheng even studied this wayward Daoist sect branch's basic techniques with her and Shen Ying.

Admittedly, it's quite good.

However, the pleasure of the boudoir is not something to be shared with outsiders.

"So where is that person now?" Du Yueyao hurriedly asked, "He's not going after Xiaowan, is he?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "No, since he already marked you, he wouldn't be in a rush to follow you, exposing himself."

Lu Zheng looked at Yue Honghai, "You keep an eye on him first. I'll go to Peach Blossom Plain to find Madam, and tonight we'll make a move together."

Using the Peach Wood Token to call someone is not an option, as the commotion of Shen Ying's arrival would alert the enemy.

Yue Honghai patted his chest, promising, "Don't worry, I'll keep a close watch on him!"

"Alright," Lu Zheng said to Liu Qingyan, "Take Yueyao home first."

Liu Qingyan nodded, then took Du Yueyao and went home together.

...

Lu Zheng soon returned with Shen Ying and even stayed at the Liu Family for a meal.

In the evening, to avoid alerting the enemy, Du Yueyao had to obediently stay at home while Lu Zheng, along with Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan, first accompanied Du Yueyao back home, then stopped by the Wang Family, and finally arrived near the Tonglai Inn, finding Yue Honghai hiding in a corner by the wall, drinking.

"Is he still in the inn?" Lu Zheng asked.

Yue Honghai nodded, "Went in during the late hour of You and hasn't come out yet."

"I've planted peach seeds in the Wang Family's backyard and around Yueyao's room. If he enters, he won't be able to escape," Shen Ying said.

Shen Ying possessed a technique to plant trees in formations in the Peach Blossom Forest. With her presence, the battle's range could be confined, preventing any impact on the ordinary folk in the county.

Lu Zheng nodded, then took out the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror, directly positioning the view inside the inn to start observing.

Then, they quickly saw the middle-aged man in a private room on the inn's fourth floor.

They saw the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating with closed eyes, colorful cloud Qi wafting around him, all blocked by the True Qi barriers he set around the room.

However, this True Qi barrier evidently couldn't withstand the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror's gaze.

At this late hour of Xi, they were not in a hurry and waited there, until more than half an hour had passed, entering mid-hour of Hai, they finally saw the middle-aged man's form move, floating out of the window, heading northwards.
