As she spoke, Qu Feiyan's face was full of curiosity, and there was no trace of nervousness on her face.

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Just now, when he came over and told me that he wanted me to send you two out."

After all, they had already displayed their Grandmaster-level cultivation and even came over on their own initiative.

Given that he didn't know the other party well, it's only natural for Chu Qinghe to administer a little poison first as a precaution, right?

Once Chu Qinghe realized that the other party's target was Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan, it wouldn't be too much for him to add a little more poison, would it?

Xiao Zhao asked in a low voice, "When will the poison in his body take effect?"

Chu Qinghe said casually, "Maybe tonight, maybe never."

Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Qinghe yawned and said slowly, "When we get back, put some medicine powder on you. If that guy comes within three feet of you tonight, the medicine he absorbed will naturally take effect. If he doesn't come tonight, why bother with him?"

Qu Feiyan pouted and said, "Is it that troublesome? We have to wait for that guy to come to us again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "What if they're just asking? It wouldn't make sense for you to be killed like that!"

Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and said, "That's true!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhao spoke up: "But why would Young Master Wuhen, a master at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, suddenly appear in a small place like Nanyue City?"

Hearing this, Qu Feiyan's face also showed some doubt.

While the little girl was deep in thought, Chu Qinghe was also lost in thought.

After a short while, Chu Qinghe muttered to himself.

"It seems there's more to this whole 'washing hands of one' ceremony than meets the eye."

The meal has already been eaten, but there's still a Grandmaster-level martial artist whose situation is unclear.

Chu Qinghe and his companions naturally did not take the two women to continue wandering around the city at night.

Instead, they went straight back to the small courtyard behind the inn.

Because of Young Master Wuhen, it's impossible for the two women to sleep alone tonight; they can only share a room with Chu Qinghe for the night.

Fortunately, some of the rooms in this courtyard have two beds, so the two girls don't have to sleep on the floor.

It was late at night.

End of Hai hour.

In the stillness of the night, under the starlight, a figure stepped through the air and landed directly in the courtyard where Chu Qinghe was sitting.

Dressed in white as snow, when his feet touched the ground, a discerning person would surely notice that the soles of his feet were covered with true energy, making his shoes about half an inch off the ground.

The veil on her head swayed gently, obscuring her true face.

Who else could it be but the inconspicuous young master from the restaurant earlier?

As he entered the courtyard, the Wuhen Gongzi gathered his true energy in his ears and instantly detected the sounds of breathing and heartbeats. He then blasted through the empty rooms of the courtyard, heading straight for the room where Chu Qinghe and the two women were resting.

As his body swiftly floated out, when he was still half a zhang away from the door of the room, his true energy burst forth and directly pushed open the door that was locked from the inside.

During the process, although the door lock was clearly damaged, it did not make the slightest sound under the protection of true energy.

Upon entering the room, the gaze of the Traceless Young Master, hidden beneath the light veil, first fell upon Chu Qinghe.

By the sliver of moonlight filtering through the window, looking at Chu Qinghe's handsome face, a flash of jealousy and hatred quickly appeared in the eyes of the veiled young master.

After a brief pause, his gaze finally swept over another bed in the room.

Looking at the two girls lying close together on the bed, both exuding a sense of tranquility, a slight smile appeared on the lips of the veiled young master.

As he lightly lifted his foot and walked to the two young girls, Wuhen Gongzi took a deep breath.

The delicate fragrance emanating from the two little girls was surprisingly refreshing.

This caused a look of ecstasy to appear on the face beneath the veil.

His gaze refocused, moving back and forth between Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan's faces, and Wuhen Gongzi couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Interesting. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a gem."

As he spoke, facing the two women who were fast asleep on the bed, Wuhen Gongzi waved his right hand.

However, when the palm was swung out, in the sight of the traceless young master, the blankets covering the two women in front of him remained completely still, showing no sign of being lifted.

Not only that, at that moment, Young Master Wuhen inexplicably felt as if the true energy in his body had sunk into the sea.

Upon discovering this, the Unmarked Young Master was slightly taken aback.

But before Young Master Wuhen could react to the sudden loss of his true energy, the next moment...

The true energy that had seemed to have vanished was instantly sensed by Young Master Wuhen.

However, the moment he regained his true energy, Wuhen Gongzi almost instantly realized that something was wrong.

The once mellow and gentle true energy was now mixed with something unknown, causing a strong pulling sensation throughout Wuhen Gongzi's body as it circulated.

The feeling was as if what flowed through my meridians and body was not true qi, but a series of barbed scythes that were frantically pulling inside my body.

Intense pain surged like a tide, rising from various parts of the body with each cough, then coalescing into a rush straight to the brain.
