Chapter 100: Always on the defensive



After sighing, he rested his chin on his hand and sipped his tea, feeling inexplicably annoyed by the sound of firecrackers outside and the snow falling from the sky.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's sorrowful expression, Qu Feiyan sighed.

"Given how competitive Sister Yue and Sister Dongfang are, it must be tough for you, young master."

But despite saying that, Qu Feiyan's steps as she walked outside were particularly light and quick.

afternoon.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Qu Feiyan enjoyed playing Go with Xiao Zhao, occasionally sipping a little wine, and popping a couple of peeled, fried peanuts into her mouth. The delightful feeling filled her face with a look of pure bliss.

Looking at the two lazy girls beside him, Chu Qinghe gently shook his head.

Previously, when Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were around, both Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were in a state of being controlled.

Aside from grocery shopping and cooking, they had to practice internal energy cultivation techniques together in the morning. In the afternoon, if the sun was out, they could manage, but if not, they had to practice martial arts and techniques, all under the tutelage of Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.

It's only in the evenings that we feel more relaxed and at ease.

Now that Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai have left, these two girls have naturally let loose and lived life to the fullest.

It felt like parents leaving their child home alone when they go out.

Family status temporarily +2

Chu Qinghe did not interfere with the situation between the two women.

Cultivation is all about balance. When the two women are around, it's fine to keep an eye on these two girls. When they're not around, it's fine to give them a break and let them relax.

Around late afternoon, looking at the heavy snow in the courtyard, Chu Qinghe wondered if it was because he had talked about it a lot last night, but today he inexplicably wanted to eat some mutton.

Therefore, at Chu Qinghe's request, Qu Feiyan, who had just finished a game of chess, went into the kitchen, picked up a vegetable basket, and walked outside.

Xiao Zhao immediately sat down on a small wooden stool in front of Chu Qinghe. After a short while, she placed the fruit she had just peeled in front of him.

"Young Master"

Upon hearing the sound, Chu Qinghe slowly opened his eyes.

As Chu Qinghe took the fruit from Xiao Zhao with one hand, he gently pinched Xiao Zhao's cheek with his other hand.

Xiao Zhao gave Chu Qinghe a sweet and obedient smile in response to his actions.

Upon seeing this, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh.

"So, who wouldn't want a cute, obedient, and sensible maid like Xiao Zhao? She's simply a rare find."

Half an hour later, Qu Feiyan, carrying the mutton and some vegetables she had just bought, went into the kitchen with Xiao Zhao to process the mutton before sitting down next to Chu Qinghe. Then she took out several books of martial arts records from her bosom.

It was clearly something I bought casually when I went out earlier.

After receiving the chronicle of martial arts world from Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao asked, "Young master, would you like to read it?"

Hearing Xiao Zhao's question, Chu Qinghe said indifferently, "Forget it, I'm not interested!"

In the beginning, in order to get a general understanding of the world, Chu Qinghe would go to the Baixiaotang branch in the city to buy the latest Jianghu Fengyunlu for the month.

However, after gaining a general understanding of the distribution and situation of various sects and forces across the world, Chu Qinghe lost interest in this matter.

After all, the affairs of the martial arts world revolve around the eight words: "grudges and affections, fame and fortune."

Instead of wasting time looking at this stuff, you might as well revisit the Hundred Flowers Ranking.

Seeing that Chu Qinghe wasn't interested, Xiao Zhao said "Oh" and started reading on her own.

However, although there are storms in the martial arts world every day, what truly attracts attention are the well-known and powerful figures.

Amidst the two women's enthusiastic whispers, Chu Qinghe also passively learned about some major events that had occurred in the martial arts world over the past two months.

At the beginning of last month, Lang Fanyun of the Nujiao Gang actually fought a duel with Pang Ban, the sorcerer of the Great Yuan Kingdom, on Henglan Island, which ended in a draw.

In the middle of the month, Wanwan, the witch of the Yin Kui Sect of the Tang Dynasty, met Shi Feixuan, the holy maiden of Cihang Jingzhai, on the shore of Weiyang Lake and fought fiercely. That night, an entire aristocratic family that was on good terms with Cihang Jingzhai was wiped out.

At the beginning of this twelfth lunar month, Gai Nie, a former bodyguard of Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin, encountered three hundred Qin soldiers in the Valley of the Crescent Moon. After annihilating them, he left in a carefree manner.

In contrast, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were surprised by this single message in the Jianghu Fengyunlu.

Chu Qinghe's focus, however, was on Bai Xiaotang, who was writing this chronicle of the martial arts world.

A neutral force in the martial arts world, whose tool for making money by recording events in the martial arts world, actually involves five countries.

In Chu Qinghe's view, the energy revealed in this and the ability to collect information were even more remarkable.

Moreover, Chu Qinghe didn't think that anyone else in the world would be foolish enough not to see the value and role of Bai Xiaotang's intelligence-gathering capabilities.

Even top-tier powers cannot remain unmoved by it.

Logically speaking, the Hundred Knowledge Hall where Bai Xiaosheng was located was like a piece of fat meat.

However, Baixiaotang still maintains its so-called neutrality, or rather, it is qualified to maintain its current neutrality.

What's revealed behind this is what makes it worth pondering and reflecting upon.

As he thought about it, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but recall the two old men he had met at the fortune-telling session in the city during the Lantern Festival.

"Huh?"

However, before Chu Qinghe could think about it, Qu Feiyan, who was reading the last book of the Jianghu Chronicles, spoke up as if she had discovered something.
