Wangfu had prepared a sumptuous banquet at his home to welcome Wuming and celebrate his achievements.
Wuming said he had to go out for a while, and Wangfu waited from seven until after nine o'clock, but Wuming had not returned.
Zhang Tai couldn't hold back anymore, and he started gossiping, "Elder Han, I'm getting more and more suspicious of Wuming. He claims he has amnesia and shouldn't have any friends outside, yet he's gone for hours. Surely he didn't just go to walk the streets alone?"
Wangfu smiled, waved his hand, and said, "As soon as Wuming left, I sent a few people to secretly follow him. Guess where he went?"
Zhang Tai shook his head. Wuming was so mysterious, one couldn't simply use ordinary logic to figure him out.
"He went to 'By the Water'!" Wangfu said.
"'By the Water'?" Zhang Tai was somewhat surprised.
'By the Water' was one of the best bath centers in the provincial city. Zhang Tai had been there a few times, and the women there were unbeatable in looks.
