Jinling, Wonderful Sound Pavilion
Gong Yu hurried out of Willow Heart and soon returned to Wonderful Sound Pavilion. She didn't have time to go back to her room and change, and went straight to find Thirteen Mister.
Seeing Gong Yu rushing about, Thirteen Mister asked in confusion, "Gong Yu, why do you look so pale? Did something happen?"
Gong Yu gathered her thoughts and said gravely, "Thirteen Mister, Xin Yang and Xin Liu have already asked King Yama Hall for help. Our original plan may not work anymore. It looks like we'll have to carry out the second plan."
Thirteen Mister's expression changed at once. He said solemnly, "If there's no way to salvage the first plan, I'd better contact the Sect Master right away and discuss the details of the backup plan."
Gong Yu hesitated, then said uncertainly, "It's not that there's no way to save it. But unless we act today, we definitely won't make it in time."
Thirteen Mister nodded gravely. "In that case, come with me to see the Sect Master."
A triumphant glint flashed in Gong Yu's eyes, but she pretended to look troubled. "Would seeing the Sect Master at a time like this cause him trouble?"
Thirteen Mister assumed Gong Yu was worried Princess Nihuang might misunderstand, so he said unconcernedly, "Our lady Sect Master's wife is a magnanimous person. She won't mind what women the Sect Master goes to see. You can rest assured."
Gong Yu felt bitter after hearing that. For the Sect Master's sake, she had refused the man her father had chosen for her, but it seemed the Sect Master didn't need her.
Still, she wanted to see for herself how the Sect Master and his wife lived, so she immediately said, "That's good! When are we going?"
