On the other side.

Chu Qinghe and the others descended from Jianxing Peak.

Half an hour later.

From the foot of Tianfeng Ridge, two carriages, each with lanterns hanging inside and out to barely illuminate their surroundings, set off one after the other towards Wanping City, ten miles away.

As the horse was being driven, Qu Feiyan, who was sitting in the front seat driving the carriage, asked in confusion, "Young Master, since Sister Dongfang is here now, why don't you stay at the Hengshan Sect for the night before leaving?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe, inside the carriage, said lazily, "The cleanup will take some time. I doubt the Hengshan Sect will be able to keep quiet tonight. Plus, with the smell of blood on the mountain, it's not as comfortable as staying at an inn."

Qu Feiyan, standing outside the carriage, thought for a moment and said, "That's true!"

Since they were able to devise a scheme using Yilin from the Hengshan Sect to lure Sister Dongfang here, there must be spies within the Hengshan Sect as well. Once Sister Dongfang exposes them, she will naturally have to consider how to deal with Yilin to prevent a recurrence of this incident.

Given Dongfang Bubai's methods and habits, even if he had no interest in the Hengshan Sect, some screams were inevitable on the summit of Jianxing Peak tonight.

How terrifying must it be to hear these screams late at night?

I doubt I'll sleep well for the rest of the night.

Later, as Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao chatted while driving, Shuimu Yinji's gaze would occasionally fall on Chu Qinghe's handsome face, which had a somewhat lazy air about it, and the smile on her face almost never disappeared.

If we were to name the biggest winner this time, in Jellyfish Yin Ji's opinion, it would undoubtedly be herself.

If it weren't for Dongfang Bubai's incident, Shuimu Yinji would probably still be in Chu Qinghe's neighbor's yard, thinking about how to spend more time with Chu Qinghe every day.

But now, not only do they spend every day together and ride in the same carriage, but today Dongfang Bubai has also accepted and recognized him.

With her chin resting on her hands, Jellyfish Yin Ji couldn't help but think to herself.

"If only my second sister could communicate as easily as my eldest sister."

Thinking about it, Jellyfish Yin Ji suddenly realized that there was a reason why Dongfang Bubai was able to become the eldest sister.

At least the scope has broadened considerably.

Unlike before, when she was wary of him.

A moment later, looking at Chu Qinghe opposite her, Shui Mu Yin Ji said, "No wonder Young Master Chu was in such a hurry to come over. I didn't expect that there would be a Grandmaster-level expert lying in ambush around us this time."

Chu Qinghe said softly, "Yes! Luckily we made it through."

Therefore, it's always good to be cautious and make preparations in life.

Who could have imagined that this scheme targeting Dongfang Bubai would be so large?

Even Chu Qinghe was somewhat surprised.

Fortunately, at this time, Dongfang Bubai's cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

With Dongfang Bubai's current speed, he would not be without the power to fight even against martial artists in the mid-stage or late-stage of the Grandmaster realm.

If one wants to avoid war, then needless to say...

There's no need to worry about safety for the time being.

A few breaths later, as his thoughts wandered, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but think of the Hengshan Sect.

"What exactly is so special about the Hengshan Sect that it would attract such attention from the power behind that mid-stage Grandmaster, who is determined to eliminate Dongfang Bubai?"

at the same time.

This is the southwestern location.

Beside a pond in the suburbs.

An elderly man dressed in a white robe, with an ethereal air and a serene face, sat quietly by the river, holding a bamboo cane.

Next to the campfire, a dozen or so fish were already skewered on branches and placed on both sides to roast.

Another old man lay on the stone-strewn ground, legs crossed, taking sips of wine and puffs of cigarettes.

If Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan, and the others were here, they would surely recognize these two old men as the same two they had met during the divination on the day of the year.

The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, Sun Baifa, and the current head of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, Bai Xiaosheng.

However, at that moment, a snow-white carrier pigeon swiftly flew across the sky under the moonlight and landed next to Bai Xiaosheng by the riverbank near a pond.

He put down his fishing rod and, like an ordinary old man, slowly removed the bamboo tube tied to the carrier pigeon.

After a moment, as he took in the message inside the bamboo slip, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "Heh! I didn't expect that this matter would be resolved so easily."

Upon hearing this, Sun Baifa, who was standing to the side, suddenly sat up in astonishment and said, "That kid really managed to resolve the matter?"

Bai Xiaosheng gently raised the hand holding the note.

With this movement, the paper strip, which had no weight to begin with, floated down towards Sun Bai as lightly as a feather.

After Sun Baifa took the note and glanced at it, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Good heavens, when did that kid get a woman at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm by his side?"

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Water Mother Yin Ji who went to Yushui City some time ago."

"I originally thought that the Water Mother Yin Ji should have returned to the Divine Water Palace, but I never expected that she would still be in Yushui City."

"That young master Chu is truly exceptionally charming!"

Thinking of Chu Qinghe's handsome face on that day, Sun Baifa curled his lip and said, "Ha! Women just like good-looking people."

Bai Xiaosheng laughed and said, "Being able to grow up to be like Young Master Chu is indeed a kind of asset. There's nothing you can do about it if you're envious."

After a slight pause, Bai Xiaosheng's face darkened as if he had just thought of something. "Moreover, last night when you were drinking with courtesans, you chose the prettiest girl in Piaoxiang Courtyard and spent all the money I had. Otherwise, why would I be fishing here to fill my stomach?"
