As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly walked into the room.

Watching Chu Qinghe's retreating figure, Shui Mu Yin Ji, who had just broken through to the early stage of the Celestial Realm today and was thinking about repaying Chu Qinghe, ended the game of cards with a few words and a smile.

Not long after the women returned to their room, they all sensed the fluctuations of the true essence emanating from the Water Mother Yin Ji.

Seeing this, Lianxing couldn't help but admire the diligence of the Water Mother Yin Ji.

Even though I only broke through to the early stage of the Celestial Realm today, I still need to stay up all night to cultivate.

If it were her alone in a room with Chu Qinghe late at night, she would have no mind to cultivate.

They probably wished they could hold Chu Qinghe tightly and stay still, quietly enjoying the happiness of embracing him.

For a moment, Lianxing suddenly felt that Shuimu Yinji was somewhat wasting a precious resource.

However, just as Lianxing was sighing in her heart, she suddenly heard the words "Benefactor, please have some self-respect" coming from the room where Chu Qinghe and Shuimu Yinji were.

Moreover, the voice sounded like that of the jellyfish Yin Ji, but unlike her usual sweetness, it carried a solemn tone.

The sound made Lianxing suspicious.

But after listening carefully, Lianxing couldn't hear anything.

Upon seeing this, Lianxing couldn't help but shake her head, wondering if she was hallucinating.

After all, how could such words have come from the room of Jellyfish Yin Ji and Chu Qinghe out of nowhere?

.........

The 15th day is auspicious for burial, but inauspicious for travel.

Compared to yesterday, the sky was even more gloomy today, with dark clouds covering the entire sky and a cold wind howling faintly.

It was already close to noon, but the gloomy sky made it feel like it was only early morning.

However, even as darkness fell, groups of people began to enter Yanzhou City one after another.

After a short rest, they hurried back to the Northern Shaolin Temple.

At this moment, after half a day, dozens of martial arts sects had gathered at the foot of the Northern Shaolin Temple.

However, they were all blocked at the foot of Fahua Peak.

Several dozen feet away from the Shaolin Temple gate, on a slightly secluded high cliff, looking down at the group of martial arts sects at the foot of Fahua Peak, and then gazing at the groups in the distance that were clearly still heading towards the Northern Shaolin Temple, Lin Shiyin sighed and said, "Sure enough, just as Sister Situ said, all these Jianghu forces in the Great Song Dynasty are actually controlled to rush to the Northern Shaolin Temple within this one day."

As soon as Lin Shiyin finished speaking, Xiao Zhao asked with some confusion, "Young Master, in principle, to become the leader of the martial arts alliance, one must at least be a martial artist at the Grandmaster level. Ordinary martial arts forces have no chance of obtaining this position. Why are they rushing to come to the Northern Shaolin Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Naturally, it's because of interests."

As if knowing that the girls could not understand, Chu Qinghe slowly explained: "Although the martial arts world is very different from the officialdom, people's hearts are similar, and human relationships are inevitable. The appearance of a martial arts alliance leader means that he has the qualifications to command the entire martial arts world of the Song Dynasty. If you can be on good terms with the martial arts alliance leader, you may be able to get some benefits in the future."

"This time, according to Bai Xiaosheng, the invitations sent by the Great Yuan Kingdom to these people stated that the purpose of selecting the leader of the martial arts alliance was to resist the Great Yuan Kingdom and protect the Great Song Kingdom, thus occupying the moral high ground."

"After the martial arts alliance leader is elected, they will normally discuss how to deal with the Great Yuan Kingdom, and even how many people each sect needs to send. Since it involves a conflict between two countries, there are naturally relatively safe and relatively dangerous areas."

"If we can be stationed in a safer area, the chances of encountering danger are low, and we can also earn a lot of fame and benefits. However, if we are assigned to some dangerous areas, once a problem occurs, the entire sect may be wiped out."

"Under such circumstances, unless one doesn't care about their own reputation, who wouldn't worry that their sect might be used as a shield or scapegoat without even realizing it? If you were the leader of a faction, wouldn't you have come?"

Qu Feiyan pursed her lips and said, "In a situation like this, who would dare not come! What if we get tricked by hostile forces?"

Despite what they said, Chu Qinghe's words made them understand why these people had come even though the final selection of the martial arts alliance leader was unrelated to ordinary sects.

However, at that moment, as if sensing something, Chu Qinghe suddenly turned his body slightly to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing, who were standing next to Chu Qinghe, also noticed something was wrong and turned their heads.

A few breaths later, in their sight, several figures quickly used their lightness skills to move upwards from behind Chu Qinghe and the others, until they reached the high cliff where Chu Qinghe and the others were.

Who else could it be but Zhao Min and the Xuanming Elders?

As she climbed to the top of the cliff and raised her eyes to look at Chu Qinghe and his group in front of her, a glint of light flashed in Zhao Min's large eyes.

Similarly, the women, including Shui Mu Yin Ji, looked surprised as they saw Zhao Min and the two elders from Xuanming appear.

A moment later, Zhao Min walked briskly to Chu Qinghe and the others. After glancing around the area, she finally focused her attention on Chu Qinghe.

Although Zhao Min could see that Chu Qinghe and the other women, including Shuimu Yinji, had disguised themselves, she was still somewhat lost in thought when she looked at them again, especially when her gaze fell on Chu Qinghe's almost perfect and handsome face.
