"Damn it, I've been poisoned! When did this happen?"
Sensing the changes in his body, Wuhen Gongzi was shocked and, enduring the excruciating pain, quickly pressed several acupoints on his body.
But this was not the worst of it. With the tapping of several acupoints, the eyes under the mask of the maskless young master suddenly widened, and then he collapsed to the ground. His body twitched slightly twice before he became lifeless.
At the same time, noticing the obvious commotion beside them, Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan, who had been lying on the bed with their eyes closed, simultaneously squinted and glanced at the bedside.
After confirming that it was safe, both women quickly sat up.
It's clear that he had been pretending to be asleep all along.
However, before the two women could speak, a sharp and highly refined internal force mixed with sword intent suddenly shot out from the side and landed on the head of the Wuchen Gongzi.
The source is obviously Chu Qinghe on the other bed.
After successfully replenishing his strength, Chu Qinghe finally sat up from the bed.
After Xiao Zhao lit all the candles in the room, the three of them walked to the body of the Tracesless Young Master.
"They actually came."
Looking at the corpse of the Tracesless Young Master on the ground, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Xiao Zhao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up: "I never expected that the Wuhen Young Master, who has been famous in the martial arts world for decades, would be such a person. He didn't agree before, but now he has broken in under the cover of night."
Chu Qinghe said slowly, "There's nothing surprising about it. No matter where you are, there are plenty of people who are all show and no substance."
Reputation is something that can be cultivated; if you are willing and use the right methods, it is not difficult in itself.
Currently, many of the masters on Baixiaosheng's list are renowned, but in reality, they are all ambitious individuals.
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan muttered, "It's widely rumored in the martial arts world that this Wuhen Gongzi is elusive. Could it be that the reason he keeps his whereabouts secret is to avoid exposing his identity as a womanizer?"
As she spoke, Qu Feiyan gently kicked the corpse of the Traceless Young Master on the ground, her eyes gradually filled with disdain.
Then, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "But Young Master, how come your poison worked so quickly this time? From the time he came in to the time he collapsed from the poison, it was less than ten breaths, wasn't it?"
Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Nonsense, if a Grandmaster at the peak of the realm doesn't use a strong poison, can you really trust them?"
Chu Qinghe always acts according to the circumstances.
Previously, the family had Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, and the poisons they used were mainly targeted at a specific group of people, so the poisons would take longer to take effect.
But now that they're out and about, and Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue aren't around, Chu Qinghe will definitely give them a generous amount when facing a Grandmaster-level expert.
Qu Feiyan stuck out her tongue and said, "I just think he died too quickly. We didn't even get to ask him anything. We still don't know what this guy came to Nanyue City for."
In response, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "If you want to know other information, there are ways to find out later, but we also need to consider the situation."
Qu Feiyan nodded in acknowledgment and then turned her gaze back to the corpse on the ground.
After pondering for a moment, she slowly squatted down and removed the veil from the head of the Unmarked Young Master.
By the candlelight in the room, the true face of the Unmarked Young Master was revealed to the three of them.
He looked to be in his fifties, with a long, narrow face, a large nose, tiny eyes, and a large mouth.
The purplish-black color of her face after being poisoned startled Qu Feiyan, causing her to jump up from the ground, which also startled Xiao Zhao next to her.
As for Chu Qinghe, who was standing next to him, he glanced at the Wuhen Gongzi but was not too surprised.
Beside her, after calming down for a while, Qu Feiyan, still feeling somewhat shaken, looked conflicted.
Rumors circulate in the martial arts world that this Wuchen Gongzi is not only extremely handsome, but also so beautiful that any woman who sees him cannot help but fall in love with him, hence the nickname "Spring Dream Without Trace".
Some even said that the appearance of this Wuhen Gongzi was no less than that of Jiang Feng, the most handsome man in the martial arts world.
But what is the truth? As for the name of the "Traceless Young Master" on the ground, in terms of appearance alone, even compared to Tian Boguang, he is actually several times more unsightly.
With looks like that, you claim to have "no trace of spring dreams"? Are you kidding me?
If I were to actually dream of this Wuchen Gongzi, it would probably be a nightmare!
Then, noticing Chu Qinghe standing beside her with a nonchalant expression, Qu Feiyan said with a bitter face, "Why do you seem completely unsurprised that Young Master Wuhen looks like this?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It was unexpected yet reasonable. What's so surprising about it?"
Upon hearing this, both women looked at Chu Qinghe with curiosity.
"Why?"
Meeting the gazes of the two women, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Everyone has vanity. Women dress up for those they like, and men are almost the same. If someone is really good-looking, even a woman won't deliberately cover up her appearance, let alone a man, unless his appearance is something that can't be shown to others."
Chu Qinghe could understand the behavior of someone like Wuhen Gongzi, who needed maids to carry him in a sedan chair so that his feet never touched the ground.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness! Chu Qinghe had encountered it before.
But even the most fastidious person wouldn't cover their face, would they?
Moreover, it is said that no one has ever seen the true face of this traceless young master over the years.
What does this have to do with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?
Do you feel dirty just because someone looks at you a couple of times?
If you say there's no special reason, who would believe you?
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Xiao Zhao first looked at the exceptionally handsome Chu Qinghe, and then at the Wuhen Gongzi on the ground.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhao nodded, feeling that Chu Qinghe's words made sense.
