Ma Wu, accompanied by Ah Qin and Huoling, searched the grass for a long time but did not find the woman Yanzi had described. When he returned to the village and was listening to Yanzi recount the woman's features, he spotted Shui Yongquan drinking in a small tavern.
He hurried over to greet him, "Brother Shui, Yanzi saw a woman at the village entrance who looks like a cloth doll. Has Master Shui noticed her?"
Shui Yongquan silently created a curtain of water around them, blocking all sound without leaving a single trace. "You're talking about Lu Dongchun, right?"
Ma Wu nodded. "She has a grudge against us. Do you know her?"
"I don't know her. Old Qi told me about her. She's a Garment Cultivation practitioner. Her scent is very faint, and she doesn't leave footprints, making her difficult to track.
