Central Palace

ShuîYuê was leaving the palace when she came across Ghost King, he was walking in her direction but when he noticed her he turned around and started walking in the opposite direction, ShuîYuê's feet ran after him, " Excuse me! " she shouted

Ghost King didn't turn around to reply, " Excuse me, Ghost King! " she shouted once again, but he still didn't reply and turned to his right walking away,

ShuîYuê stared at him,
' Maybe he doesn't want to speak to me anymore, he must have tried to talk to me because Xiàn Fèng and Yìfēi weren't being social with him at the time he came to the palace and Earth Master already pretty reserved herself so he must have thought of being nice to me so he could have an easy time being friends with the other elementals,' she thought as a hurt feeling ran through her body, ' It isn't the first time someone has done this to you and it clearly won't be the last, so get over it,' she told herself sternly,

The Palace of Yú Yìfēi

Water Master was here to discuss the Southeast mountain issue with Yìfēi, she was in her room as Anxi was putting away the various new clothes of Yìfēi ( she had dragged ShuîYuê this time with the Water Master willingly going shopping with her, trying to win back Yìfēi )

" Water Master your hair chain is very beautiful, I like its design," Anxi complimented, noticing it,

" Thanks, it should be in Yìfēi's gifts from the ghosts," ShuîYuê sat down on the chair,

" Really? How come I never saw it? I would have asked her for it if I had noticed it," she said, surprised,

" You should have gone through the gifts more carefully," ShuîYuê pointed out, eating a rose cake,

" I did go through them in front of her, and if she had seen something like this, she would have already given it to me." She replied, folding clothes

" How come? Everyone received the same gifts from the ghosts, and I already sent those big fancy pieces of jewellery to Yìfēi,"

" Yes, I put them away myself," Anxi remarked, nodding her head

Now that ShuîYuê thought about it, didn't Xiàn Fèng say that the merchant selling jewellery had this in her collection,
'Suspicious,' she thought

ShuîYuê would be leaving with Yu Han for the Southeastern mountains in a week, She was back at her palace in the side hall going through the scrolls which enlisted the problems faced by the people living in the mountains, Jade served her tea which she sipped mindlessly, ' She didn't even notice that I served her jasmine tea today,' Jade thought to herself

" Serving me Jasmine today?" ShuîYuê asked suddenly,

" You looked focused, so I thought to serve you something else to see if you could tell," Jade replied
