Volume One, Chapter 225
Zhao Fu smiled. "I can guarantee that I'll try my best not to harm Water Demon City. How about that?"
Water Jade smiled. "All right! I believe you."
Water Jade continued, "That Eightfold Water World wasn't truly stolen. It's still in Demon Grass City now. But to avoid stirring up more trouble, we told the outside world that it had been stolen."
This delighted Zhao Fu. He had not expected Water Jade to know so much.
Water Jade chuckled. "Even if one obtains that thing, it's difficult to use. What do you want it for?"
Water Jade had already guessed Zhao Fu's purpose.
Zhao Fu understood that she knew and said with a smile, "I merely wanted to learn about it. By the way, do you know where that Eightfold Water World is now?"
Water Jade shook her head. "I don't know that. The City Lord probably hid it away."
Zhao Fu continued asking, "Have you heard any news?"
Water Jade replied, "I normally don't pay attention to such matters, but you can ask the previous steward of the City Lord's Residence. She knows these things very well."
The previous steward? Zhao Fu knew that the current steward was Shui Lan, but he did not know who the previous one was. He asked, "Where is she?"
Water Jade said, "She has already left Demon Grass City. I don't know where she went."
Zhao Fu felt somewhat resentful. Why had the clue snapped here again? Where was he supposed to find the previous steward?
Seeing Zhao Fu's expression, Water Jade smiled. "Her daughter is currently working in the kitchen of the City Lord's Residence. If you get your hands on her, you should be able to learn her mother's whereabouts."
Hearing this, Zhao Fu revealed a smile.
