That night.
A figure in a blue dress drifted through the night sky like a ghost, vanishing in a flash.
The blue figure cut across the heavens and slowly descended onto a large tree beside Jiang Ning's residence.
This person was none other than Yu Manyun.
"Pitch-black? Is no one home?" Yu Manyun looked at the darkened residence ahead, confusion flickering in her eyes.
Only after making inquiries from many sources during the day had she found Jiang Ning's place of residence.
To be safe, she had chosen to come late at night and test Jiang Ning's true capabilities.
After all, she knew Xiao Emei's abilities well.
Xiao Emei's failure to complete her mission was enough to show that Jiang Ning was far from simple.

Standing on the branch, Yu Manyun pondered for a moment before lightly tapping off with her toes and floating gently into Jiang Ning's residence.
After cautiously searching for the time it took half an incense stick to burn, Yu Manyun opened the residence gates and walked out.
"So it really was empty, people gone and building vacant!"
"Could he have known I was coming? Did he leave ahead of me with his family?"
Yu Manyun muttered as she stepped over the threshold.
After her careful investigation just now, along with the lingering warmth of the stove, she knew Jiang Ning's family had left sometime today.
She had heard he had a master at a martial hall. She would ask tomorrow!
Yu Manyun glanced back at the pitch-black house behind her and immediately made up her mind.
Elsewhere, sparks crackled
