A moment later, Qu Feiyan, who was standing by the window, let out a soft exclamation as if she had discovered something.

Then, after his true energy spread and isolated the surroundings, he spoke: "Young master, I just saw that many martial artists below are holding ribbons, and the pattern of the ribbons they are holding seems to be the same as the ones that the Azure Dragon Society gave you a few days ago."

Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao, who were by the window, both lowered their heads and glanced down.

Then, the two women were surprised to find that things were really as Qu Feiyan had said.

Among the martial artists wielding weapons on the street, nearly 20% were carrying ribbons.

Lin Shiyin asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that this ribbon was used by Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng to enter the palace during their duel on the fifteenth of the lunar month? Why are so many people on the street wearing it?"

Faced with the girls' questions, Chu Qinghe calmly replied, "If we don't make a fuss and create some noise, how can we distract them?"

Qu Feiyan asked, "Young Master, do you mean that this thing was also deliberately spread by the Azure Dragon Society?"

Chu Qinghe responded with a lazy "hmm".

Seeing this, Lin Shiyin glanced at the people below who were holding ribbons and looking smug, and shook her head, saying, "Perhaps these people don't even realize that they have inexplicably become pawns in someone else's game!"

Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but nod in agreement, a hint of regret on their faces.

A few breaths later, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but look at Chu Qinghe beside her. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she felt a strange sense of relief in her heart.

In life, some people gradually become the ones who strategize and execute.

But some people, even after a lifetime of hard work, may never amount to more than being pawns in someone else's game.

Who would willingly accept such a comparison?

Unfortunately, there are very few people in the world who are truly capable of playing chess.

However, for Lin Shiyin, Xiao Zhao, and even Qu Feiyan, the three women were fortunate.

Because of Chu Qinghe, although they were not the people who controlled the world, no one dared to treat them as chess pieces.

A moment later, when her belly was already a little swollen, Qu Feiyan first looked at Lin Shiyin, and then at Chu Qinghe, and asked, "Young Master, what level has Sister Lin's 'Tianlong Eight Sounds' reached now?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "You've just reached the level of 'being proficient'."

It has been more than a month since they came out. In his spare time, Chu Qinghe has been teaching Lin Shiyin for half an hour every day.

Moreover, Lin Shiyin already had some knowledge of the art of playing the zither, and with her talent continuously improving, her speed and efficiency in learning new things were naturally unmatched by ordinary people.

Now, they are able to skillfully use the Heavenly Demon Harp to perform the "Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds" musical martial art.

Qu Feiyan said, "Wouldn't that mean that once this matter is over, Sister Lin can take the opportunity to seek revenge on the Rust Gate?"

Chu Qinghe said lazily, "More or less!"

Lin Shiyin's physical constitution and talent have now reached a level that is "one in ten thousand".

Their cultivation efficiency far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Not to mention that he is extremely diligent, and he will squeeze out time to practice whenever he has a spare moment.

Therefore, Lin Shiyin successfully broke through to the first-class perfect realm this morning.

Given Lin Shiyin's current condition, once her internal energy stabilizes in another half month, she will be able to enter the early stage of the Innate Realm through the medicinal wine made from the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass prepared by Chu Qinghe.

Hearing Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan's conversation, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.

After a short while, having eaten until they were about 70% full at Chu Qinghe's place, leaving room for snacks later, the group paid the bill and left the room one after another.

It was during this time that the group began to stroll around the capital city.

Inside the main hall of the Dragon Guardian Manor.

At this moment, Zhu Wushi sat upright on the dragon-shaped chair atop several steps, while Shangguan Haitang stood quietly below.

He was reporting some things.

On the dragon chair, as Zhu Wushi gently tapped with his fingertip, the true energy circulated, and the paper in his hand instantly turned into dust.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Haitang, who was standing below, couldn't help but ask, "Godfather, is there any news about Cao Zhengchun?"

Zhu Wushi shook his head and said, "It's not about Cao Zhengchun's side, but about someone who arrived in the capital two hours ago."

After a slight pause, Zhu Wushi looked at Shangguan Haitang and said, "You and I will go and meet this person together."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haitang pondered for a moment before a handsome face instantly appeared in her mind. She then asked, "Could it be that Godfather is referring to Chu Qinghe from Yushui City?"

Zhu Wushi nodded and said, "That's right!"

After receiving confirmation from Zhu Wushi, Shangguan Haitang asked in confusion, "Why would Chu Qinghe come to the capital from Yushui City for no reason? Is it also because of the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue on the fifteenth of the lunar month?"

Zhu Wushi nodded and said, "That's the only reason."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhu Wushi said, "This man has done me a favor. Haitang, go to the manor's treasury and select a precious medicinal herb as a gift. Come with me tonight to visit this Young Master Chu."

Shangguan Haitang cupped her hands and said, "Haitang obeys."

After Shangguan Haitang left, Zhu Wushi gently raised his hand and said, "Come out!"

The next instant, another figure appeared in the hall.
