"Being looked down upon?"

The women all looked somewhat surprised by what Chu Qinghe said.

The quickest to react, Jellyfish Yin Ji, spoke after a moment's thought: "You mean, Meng Chixing?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It seems so at the moment!"

Judging from the people secretly monitoring them over the past few days, Pang Ban and his group are clearly paying special attention to Chu Qinghe's side.

Even today, when they haven't gone out, there's a stranger loitering around outside the courtyard, acting as a waiter.

Based on the previous two encounters with Pang Ban and Zhao Min, after Chu Qinghe displayed some strength in the apricot forest last time, they shouldn't be so arrogant as to disregard our side.

Then, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "Forget it, we can meet tomorrow anyway, so it'll save trouble if you don't come."

If it were people from the Great Yuan Kingdom coming during the day, it would be fine; after all, it's raining and they're just idling around.

But it's already past midnight, and I have to get up early tomorrow to watch the show.

Now, if Meng Chixing and Pang Ban and the others were to come over, Chu Qinghe would actually be a little reluctant.

However, after being eliminated in the first round of three consecutive rounds of Werewolf, Chu Qinghe suddenly hoped that Meng Chixing and the others would arrive at this time.

At least I can find a few punching bags to vent my anger on.

After playing for a while, Qu Feiyan suddenly looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, as if she had thought of something, "Young Master, tomorrow is the day when the Northern Shaolin Temple will hold the martial arts tournament, but as of this morning when Xiao Zhao, Sister Lin and I went out to buy breakfast, we didn't see any martial arts forces entering Yanzhou City?"

Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Shuimu Yinji asked with slight surprise, "To this day, no Jianghu forces have entered Yanzhou City?"

Qu Feiyan nodded affirmatively.

Seeing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji glanced at Qu Feiyan and asked, "Didn't you notice anything wrong when you went to the Northern Shaolin Temple a few days ago?"

Faced with the question posed by the Water Mother Yin Ji, not only Qu Feiyan, but even Lian Xing showed some confusion on her face.

Seeing that none of the women understood, Shui Mu Yin Ji shook her head and said, "For something like the martial arts tournament, how do you think the scale would be if the Northern Shaolin Temple were the host?"

Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and said, "Currently, in the Great Song Dynasty, only the Northern Shaolin Temple remains as a top-tier power. Moreover, judging from the amount of money they've been accumulating in Yanzhou City and at the Shaolin Temple recently, the Northern Shaolin Temple is definitely not short of wealth. Logically speaking, they should be putting on a grand show to demonstrate their power..."

At this point, Qu Feiyan seemed to realize something and stopped talking. Instead, she exclaimed in surprise, "That's right! If the Northern Shaolin Temple were to hold a martial arts tournament, they should have started preparing for it a few days ago."

As she spoke, Qu Feiyan looked at Shuimu Yinji and said, "Could it be that the Northern Shaolin Temple has no idea about this martial arts tournament at all?"

Lianxing, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "But in the message that Bai Xiaosheng gave to my brother-in-law, didn't he say that on the fifteenth of this month, the Shaolin Temple of the Great Song Dynasty would be holding a martial arts conference to invite heroes from all over the Great Song Dynasty to select a martial arts leader to fight against foreign enemies?"

Chu Qinghe said lazily, "The news that Bai Xiaosheng mentioned only said that the Northern Shaolin Temple would hold a martial arts tournament, but it didn't say whether the tournament was held passively or actively."

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately understood the situation.

Lin Shiyin asked in astonishment, "So, this martial arts tournament is actually a hoax that lures all the forces of the Great Song Dynasty to the Northern Shaolin Temple, and the Northern Shaolin Temple is completely unaware of this?"

Chu Qinghe responded with a faint "hmm".

After receiving confirmation from Chu Qinghe, Lin Shiyin pondered and said, "To ensure that the Northern Shaolin Temple is kept in the dark and has made preparations in advance, the news must be kept secret so that neither the Northern Shaolin Temple nor the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty knows in advance that there is a problem. This is not difficult."

"What's difficult is that at the same time, you also have to ensure that those Jianghu forces cannot enter Yanzhou City before the martial arts tournament begins. Otherwise, the Northern Shaolin disciples patrolling Yanzhou City will notice something is wrong and report the news to the Northern Shaolin. How did you manage to do that?"

In response, Qu Feiyan sighed and said, "What's so difficult about that? After calculating the distance between each martial arts sect and the Northern Shaolin Temple, we can send out these invitations to ensure that the time it takes for each force to arrive at the Northern Shaolin Temple is not too different."

"We'll also assign someone to keep an eye on things beforehand, and if there are any travelers who are traveling fast, we'll find some sources along the way to delay them a bit."

"Then we can control the time when all the forces arrive at the Northern Shaolin Temple to be on the same day."

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Shiyin realized that Qu Feiyan's method was indeed feasible.

Lin Shiyin asked in bewilderment, "If that's the case, how did Bai Xiaosheng know about these things so far in advance?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe casually replied, "This means that among those involved in the Great Yuan Kingdom's attack on the Northern Shaolin Temple, there were also people from Bai Xiaosheng."

"Hiss~ If the Great Yuan Kingdom has people under the Hundred Knowledge Scholar, then which country doesn't have spies from the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion?"

Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Judging from this incident, the Baixiaoge's intelligence network in the Song and Yuan kingdoms is no less than that in the Ming kingdom. As for the Tang and Qin kingdoms, it's probably just a matter of strength."

In response, Lin Shiyin sighed and said, "No wonder the young master is so concerned about this Bai Xiaosheng. The intelligence network of Bai Xiaoge is indeed amazing."

Hearing the watchman's gong outside, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Alright, we still need to find a good spot at the Northern Shaolin Temple tomorrow, so let's get some sleep!"
