Chapter 100: Always on the defensive



Noticing the sound, Chu Qinghe raised his eyes slightly and looked at Qu Feiyan together with Xiao Zhao.

Under their gaze, Qu Feiyan said happily, "Tomorrow, Uncle Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect is preparing to wash his hands of his past at noon in Nanyue City."

Xiao Zhao asked with a puzzled look, "Liu Zhengfeng? The one from the Hengshan Sect among the Five Mountains Sword Sects? Fei Yan, do you know him?"

Qu Feiyan nodded and said, "This Uncle Liu met my grandfather a few years ago. They both love music and became close friends after just a few days. Over the years, they have often gathered to study music. My grandfather has now retired to the mountains, largely because of Uncle Liu."

After understanding the relationship between the two, Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "I see!"

Then, Qu Feiyan said, "Uncle Liu has a very high status in the Five Mountains Sword Sect. If he retires from the martial arts world, it should attract the leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sect to attend the ceremony. The scene should be quite grand."

Thinking of this, Qu Feiyan put down the Jianghu Chronicles in her hand and turned to Chu Qinghe beside her: "Young Master, since Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue are not here these days, why don't we go to Nanyue City next door tomorrow to see Uncle Liu's retirement ceremony? It's not far, and we should be able to get there in an hour by carriage."

"Maybe I'll even run into my grandfather there."

Xiao Zhao asked in confusion, "The leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sects will all be there to attend the ceremony. Although your grandfather Fei Yan has already left the Sun Moon Divine Cult, he shouldn't be appearing on such an occasion, right?"

Qu Feiyan said nonchalantly, "Those guys from the May Sword Sect, even if my grandfather went, he probably wouldn't be able to find out."

After saying that, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe with anticipation.

Facing Qu Feiyan's gaze, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Anything is fine."

Since I had nothing else to do, and Nanyue City was right next to Yushui City, I figured I might as well take a stroll and kill some time.

At the same time, consider it as buying insurance!

After all, it's the Lunar New Year, and we shouldn't let Qu Feiyan cry over something, only to have to rack our brains to comfort her in the end.

Seeing that Chu Qinghe had agreed, Qu Feiyan's face lit up with joy.

"Young master, you agree?"

Based on what the girls knew about Chu Qinghe, he basically liked to stay at home and did nothing all day like a salted fish.

These past few days, even when Chu Qinghe was asked to write a story, he tried to slack off as much as possible.

Originally, Qu Feiyan's decision to go to Nanyue City was just a whim, and she didn't have much hope that Chu Qinghe would agree.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qinghe agreed immediately.

This caused both Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao to be momentarily stunned.

Seeing the two women's astonished expressions, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Anyway, it only takes an hour to get from Yushui City to Nanyue City, so it doesn't matter."

How could Chu Qinghe not know what the girls were thinking?

In fact, although Chu Qinghe lived in Yushui City, he was not imprisoned there.

If you're bored or feeling restless, it's perfectly fine to go out for a stroll and then come back.

Just treat it as a chance to relax and have some fun; it's not a big deal.

The two maids were overjoyed to receive confirmation from Chu Qinghe.

"Then I'll go out and rent a carriage now."

After saying that, the little girl ran outside with a joyful expression.

After Qu Feiyan left, Xiao Zhao looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Young Master, should I pack some things?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "I'll only be staying for a day. Just take a jug or two of wine with me. I'll buy the rest when I need them!"

Listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Xiao Zhao obediently nodded.

Over this period of time, Xiao Zhao has gradually begun to implement the rules that Chu Qinghe mentioned that night.

When you're with Chu Qinghe, just be obedient.

While Xiao Zhao continued to flip through the rest of the Jianghu Chronicles, Chu Qinghe glanced at the Jianghu Chronicles that Qu Feiyan had just placed on the ground.

"Will you retire from the life of crime?"

As he pondered this in his heart, a fleeting look of thought crossed Chu Qinghe's eyes.

A short while later, Chu Qinghe picked up a wooden plate containing fruit or some pastries and dried fruit and slowly walked outside.

Meanwhile, less than ten feet away from Chu Qinghe's courtyard, in a two-story pavilion, several disciples of the Divine Water Palace sat, while one person stood quietly by the window, occasionally glancing at Chu Qinghe's courtyard.

"Hmm? Senior Sister Sun, that Young Master Chu has come out."

As soon as the voice came out, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun, who was originally sitting to the side, and several others immediately rushed to the window, their eyes immediately focusing on the extremely conspicuous Chu Qinghe on the street.

The girls' eyes lit up when they saw Chu Qinghe in his white fox fur coat, exuding a lazy yet gentle aura.

However, just as the girls were looking at Chu Qinghe in the distance with admiring eyes, they noticed that Chu Qinghe, who walked out of the door, did not move, but slowly looked towards where they were.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Divine Water Palace couldn't help but step aside.

At the same time, a disciple of the Divine Water Palace whispered, "Senior Sister Sun, could it be that Young Master Chu has discovered us?"

The disciple from Shenshui Palace surnamed Sun responded, "It shouldn't be. We've been very careful in our surveillance lately, and I've never sensed any fluctuations in cultivation level from that Young Master Chu. He doesn't seem to have any martial arts skills."

After waiting a few moments, the disciple of Shenshui Palace surnamed Sun slowly poked his head out.

The same applies to the other disciples of the Divine Water Palace.

When the group peeked out and looked into the distance, they saw that Chu Qinghe, who was still standing on the street, was looking in their direction.

He even smiled and waved.

At the same time, a voice also entered the room where the group was.

"I would like to trouble you ladies to come down and meet me."

At this point, the women all turned their gazes to the disciple of the Divine Water Palace surnamed Sun standing to the side, their eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Facing the gazes of the group, the disciple from Shenshui Palace surnamed Sun looked somewhat embarrassed.
