At this moment, Qu Feiyan leaned over with a face full of curiosity and asked, "But why did your mother keep your cultivation at the early stage of the second rank before?"

Perhaps she had let go of her inner turmoil, or perhaps it was due to her trust in Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan.

Xiao Zhao did not hide the matter as before, but slowly told her story.

After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, Qu Feiyan suddenly realized, "So, your mother wanted to steal the Ming Cult's 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth' and then use it to worship your father?"

Xiao Zhao nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Qu Feiyan smirked and said, "Just for this, you went to all this trouble to get you infiltrated into the Ming Cult? And even made you lose your cultivation and start over? Are you crazy!"

Xiao Zhao, however, said with a calm expression, "Of course not. My mother asked me to infiltrate the Ming Cult. Besides the 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth,' my mother also wanted to find an opportunity to poison the Ming Cult leader Yang Dingtian to avenge my father."

Qu Feiyan rolled her eyes and said, "Yang Dingtian is the leader of the Ming Cult. If he were so easily ambushed, he would have died long ago. Your mother is dreaming."

Xiao Zhao remained silent in response to Qu Feiyan's words.

Even Xiao Zhao herself felt that Dai Qisi's ideas were somewhat unrealistic.

Suddenly, Chu Qinghe, who was standing nearby, said, "There's no need to avenge Yang Dingtian."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao both turned their heads to look at Chu Qinghe.

Qu Feiyan asked, even more puzzled, "Why don't we need to report it anymore?"

Chu Qinghe said irritably, "The person is already dead. Are you going to revive him and kill him again?"

Both Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan were taken aback by Chu Qinghe's words.

Qu Feiyan said, "Dead? But isn't Yang Dingtian still on Bai Xiaosheng's Grandmaster List?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Perhaps the news hasn't spread yet!"

Others might not know, but Chu Qinghe certainly did know that Yang Dingtian had died long ago in the Ming Cult's forbidden area.

Besides, Bai Xiaosheng isn't stupid.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't release this information without the knowledge of the Ming Cult itself.

After all, the purpose of the lists under Baixiaosheng is to ensure fairness, not to leak secrets.

If anyone were to release any information without considering the consequences, which force in the world would dare not be wary of Bai Xiaosheng?

They probably would have already attacked Bai Xiaotang as a whole.

Where could it possibly have survived to this day?

Naturally, even if Yang Dingtian is probably just a skeleton now, unless the Ming Cult knows, the Hundred Knowledge Hall will have to keep quiet.

Thinking about it this way, Chu Qinghe felt that people who were too gossipy probably wouldn't be able to get into the Hundred Knowledge Hall.

Otherwise, knowing these secrets but not being able to speak them out will drive you crazy sooner or later.

Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao had absolutely no doubt about what Chu Qinghe said.

Therefore, upon learning that Yang Dingtian was actually dead, Qu Feiyan turned her head and said, "Isn't that perfect? ​​Now that Yang Dingtian is dead, all that's missing is the 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth' manual. When you get that, just copy it down and burn it for your father."

Xiao Zhao nodded and looked at Chu Qinghe with a hopeful look in her eyes.

Meeting Xiao Zhao's gaze, Chu Qinghe, resting his chin on his hand and looking lazy, slowly said, "Don't look at me. Your young master is lazy. If you want that thing, you'll have to work hard yourself. Once you're strong enough, you can solve it yourself."

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "Xiao Zhao knows, Xiao Zhao will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future."

Looking at Xiao Zhao's innocent smile, Chu Qinghe smiled gently and then ruffled Xiao Zhao's hair.

Faced with Chu Qinghe's haphazard rubbing of her head, Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Young Master, I've heard that rubbing your hair like that all the time can make you bald."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe intensified his kneading movements.

As he ruffled Xiao Zhao's hair, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "If you're bald, I'll fix it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao immediately felt relieved, squinting her eyes as Chu Qinghe casually rubbed her head.

Perhaps because she was completely at ease, the girl looked like a little kitten, with a silly smile that was incredibly cute.

This prompted Qu Feiyan, who was standing nearby, to join in.

Half an hour later.

The three of them then reached the rooftop.

Without Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue around, the two little girls now have significantly more room to move around.

One rested on Chu Qinghe's stomach, and the other leaned against Chu Qinghe's chest.

Chu Qinghe, who was being used as a cushion, couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he let the two little girls do as they pleased.

A short while later, after taking a sip of wine and gazing at the starry sky, Xiao Zhao murmured, "Young Master, why are you so kind to us?"

In response to Xiao Zhao's question, Chu Qinghe smiled gently, then placed his hand on Xiao Zhao's head and said, "Isn't this better?"

Without hesitation, Xiao Zhao replied, "Of course it's good, but it's just too good."

In response, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Since you know that the young master is good, then let your young master save his trouble. In the future, stop thinking about other nonsense and just stay at home and behave."

A mascot that's a little silly is naturally more likely to bring good fortune.

Finally, Chu Qinghe added, "Don't follow Fei Yan's example; all she thinks about is being lazy and reading novels all day long."

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan puffed out her cheeks and said, "No way, I've been very diligent lately."

Chu Qinghe gave a soft "tsk," his tone full of disdain.

This made Qu Feiyan furious. She then sat up and, while counting on her fingers with Chu Qinghe, recounted what she had done in the past few days, trying her best to prove herself.
