Anning stayed on the mountain beside Hongliu Village for several months, from early spring to autumn.
During these months, it seemed like she did nothing but teach students.
This was completely against the intent of Family Head Zhu, who sent her to the mortal world for training. She appeared to be living leisurely and peacefully every day, but in reality, she was setting up a grand scheme.
Soon, the first person took the bait of her scheme.
Jie Dongyang did not stay with Zhu An Yue the entire time.
After following Zhu An Yue for a few days and realizing that Zhu An Yue didn't know where Anning was, he bid farewell to Zhu An Yue. Then, with some small magic and a wealth of knowledge, he entered an official's house as a guest. Though called a guest, he was actually a strategist.
He intended to use the official's connections to find out Anning's whereabouts.
After inquiring for several months and gaining the trust of that official, he finally received some news about Anning.
