When Dongfang Bubai mentioned arranging for Yilin to stay with him, Chu Qinghe replied lazily, "You can arrange it yourself!"
There are now four people in the courtyard.
However, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue have different identities, and they may have to return to their respective factions at any time.
Then there will only be three people in the family.
Xiao Zhao is incredibly lucky; not only in mahjong, but even in Dou Dizhu (a card game), she's the landlord every time, with two kings and a bomb.
After dozens of rounds, Xiao Zhao had to let him win once in a row.
Losing money is a minor issue, but the real problem is the complete lack of gaming experience.
In such a situation, having an extra person at home wouldn't be a bad idea.
Anyway, it's my sister-in-law, what's there to be afraid of?
After a moment, Chu Qinghe changed the subject and said, "The fact that you and Yaoyue rushed back from Blackwood Cliff together must be more than just because of our trip to Nanyue City, right?"
Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "I had people keeping an eye on the movements in the capital. A few days ago, we discovered that a group of people was heading towards Nanyue City from the direction of the capital."
"You're worried that Zhu Wushi might try to do something using Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Conference as an opportunity."
Dongfang Bubai gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment.
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Xiao Zhao tilted her head and said, "Rumor has it that Shangguan Haitang, the head of the Xuanzi secret agents under Zhu Wushi, is a disciple of Wuhen Gongzi. That explains why Wuhen Gongzi was in Nanyue City last night."
Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Young Master Wuhen?"
Qu Feiyan nodded and said, "I ran into her in Nanyue City last night."
After confirming this with Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes and said, "He didn't attack you?"
Qu Feiyan rested her chin on her hand and said, "He did want to, but the young master gave him the medicine."
Finally, Xiao Zhao added in a silly way, "They died last night too."
Dongfang Bubai looked slightly suspicious upon hearing the two women's words.
Subsequently, with Qu Feiyan's vivid explanation and Xiao Zhao's supplementary remarks, Dongfang Bubai also clearly understood what had happened last night.
However, Dongfang Bubai had no interest in what the Wuhen Gongzi looked like or what kind of person he was.
They were shocked that a master at the peak of the Grandmaster realm had died so easily at the hands of Chu Qinghe.
The fact that the Flawless Young Master has been famous for many years and has been able to occupy a spot on the Grandmaster Ranking for so long is enough to show that his strength is extraordinary.
In Dongfang Bubai's view, even if he and Yaoyue were to fight one-on-one, it would be difficult to defeat her without dozens or even hundreds of moves.
But for Chu Qinghe, he was drugged and passed out before he even had a chance to make a move.
Even though they knew Chu Qinghe's poisoning methods were sophisticated, they never expected them to be this sophisticated.
Thinking about it, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but glance at the paper fan that Chu Qinghe had placed on the table.
A short while later, Qu Feiyan asked with curiosity, "Before, you killed the disciples of Yihua Palace and deliberately framed Sister Dongfang. This time, you arranged for Young Master Wuhen to come to Nanyue City. What exactly is Zhu Wushi trying to do?"
When this was mentioned, a hint of ruthlessness and coldness appeared in Dongfang Bubai's eyes as well.
Chu Qinghe suddenly said slowly, "This time it should have nothing to do with Zhu Wushi."
"Um?"
The three women, including Dongfang Bubai, all looked at Chu Qinghe.
Dongfang Bubai asked, "Why?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It's too high-profile. It's so high-profile that people will immediately associate this Wuchen Gongzi with him. It doesn't seem like Zhu Wushi's style."
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the "Traceless Gentleman" never touches the ground when he goes out makes him as eye-catching as a firefly in the dark wherever he goes.
Those who have seen the Hundred Sages' Master List upon entering Nanyue City will likely be able to identify him.
Given this blatant display, whatever Young Master Wuhen does, anyone with a discerning eye can easily find out that it was his doing.
But Wuhen Gongzi is famous, and over the years he has given everyone the impression of a hermit who regards fame and fortune as dirt.
It's impossible for someone to suddenly and ruthlessly kill a second-rate power without any reason.
If Wuhen Gongzi is not a suspect, then the real reason for his actions is worth pondering.
The Songshan Sect was backed by the Eastern Depot, which, strictly speaking, was equivalent to the Five Mountains Sword Sects being backed by the Eastern Depot. The conflict between Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun over the years was known to all.
Furthermore, since Wuhen Gongzi's only disciple is under Zhu Wushi's name, anyone would think that Wuhen Gongzi and Zhu Wushi have an unusual relationship.
The suspicion could easily be directed at Zhu Wushi.
Faced with Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai seemed thoughtful, but Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, was still puzzled and said, "That's not right! That Iron-Blooded Marquis is the current Emperor's uncle of the Ming Dynasty, and his own strength is also extremely high. If it's just the Five Mountains Sword Sect, even if it's destroyed, it shouldn't have much of an impact!"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It won't have a big impact. Even if Zhu Wushi wanted to take action against the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he wouldn't do it in secret. He would do it openly. Otherwise, his reputation would definitely be affected."
It's easy to ruin a reputation, but incredibly difficult to build one up.
Zhu Wushi's current reputation for loyalty and righteousness was built up over nearly twenty years.
While Zhu Wushi is not yet on the throne, he cannot allow his reputation to be affected.
The Five Mountains Sword Sects combined don't even meet the threshold of a first-class power, so for Zhu Wushi, annihilating them would be as easy as turning his hand.
To risk damaging one's reputation for the sake of the Five Mountains Sword Sect is a terrible waste of money. Unless Zhu Wushi is out of his mind, he would never do such a thing.
