As Dongfang Bubai's voice reached her ears, Qu Feiyan asked in confusion, "Why would there be Tang Dynasty silver notes in his money bag? Could this person not be from the Ming Dynasty?"
Dongfang Bubai said coldly, "That possibility cannot be ruled out."
As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai glanced at the open money pouch in Qu Feiyan's hand.
As his gaze shifted, when he saw that the money bag contained a considerable amount of loose gold and silver, Dongfang Bubai's brows furrowed slightly, further solidifying his belief that the masked man was from the Tang Dynasty.
If it were the Ming Dynasty's territory, many things could still be investigated.
However, if the masked man were from the Tang Dynasty, the situation would be different.
At this moment, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "But since he is a Grandmaster-level martial artist from the Great Tang Dynasty, why would he come to the Ming Dynasty? And why is he setting a trap for Sister Dongfang?"
Faced with Qu Feiyan's sudden question, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
However, after pausing for a few moments, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Since the matter originated from the Hengshan Sect, perhaps the Hengshan Sect has something that they value highly."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe was thinking about the token with the words "Heavenly Killing Star" written on it.
It should be noted that this "Heavenly Killing Star" is one of the thirty-six stars of the Heavenly Gang, also known as the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals.
If this "Heavenly Killer Star" token is a code name for this person within their organization, it indicates that there may be thirty-five other people of similar strength behind them.
But Chu Qinghe rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.
"No, Grandmaster-level martial artists aren't like cabbages; there can't be that many."
It should be noted that even in the Yihua Palace where Yaoyue resides and the Shenshui Palace of Shuimu Yinji, there are at most a few.
If a force were to gather thirty-six Grandmaster-level martial artists, even a Celestial Realm martial artist might not be able to withstand their combined attack.
Even the Azure Dragon Society, which once suppressed many of the top forces in the Ming Dynasty, could not do this.
No top power in the world would allow such an insurmountable behemoth to appear and oppress them.
Even the imperial court could not sit idly by.
Just like the Azure Dragon Society a hundred years ago.
It is precisely because there are more than a dozen Grandmaster-level experts among them, and they act ostentatiously.
Finally, the imperial court, in conjunction with other top-tier forces and a host of first-rate powers, launched a joint operation, which is how the Azure Dragon Society was finally brought to an end after a century of silence.
In the martial arts world, there are quite a few forces that like to use terms like "Heavenly Gang" and "Earthly Fiend" in their names.
Not to mention that what's involved now may not only be the forces of the Ming Dynasty, but also those of the Tang Dynasty.
That's too broad a scope.
To deduce the other party's faction or even the purpose of this scheme based solely on the few clues currently available is indeed wishful thinking.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Qinghe looked at Dongfang Bubai, who was frowning beside him, and said calmly, "No matter who these people are, the fact that they dare not reveal their identities directly shows that they have concerns. This time, the scheme against Dongfang failed, and they will probably have to stay quiet for a while. For now, we don't need to think about it. We'll just have someone go to the Tang Dynasty to inquire and see if we can find any useful information."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai, who was standing to the side, pondered for a few moments and then nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Then, Chu Qinghe gestured to Xiao Zhao.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhao quickly took off the bundle she was carrying and handed it to Dongfang Bubai.
"Sister Dongfang".
Looking at the packages Xiao Zhao handed over, Dongfang Bubai opened them with a slightly puzzled expression.
Inside, however, was a bright green cinnabar bottle and some wooden carvings of various shapes.
As Dongfang Bubai examined the items in the box, Chu Qinghe said, "The bottle contains wine infused with Blood Bodhi. Drinking it can raise one's cultivation level and improve one's physical constitution. In the first row of this wooden carving, I have sealed the cultivation method and practice route of the 'Innate Formless Finger Sword'."
"The first one in the second row contains the Sword Intent Seed. After you introduce this Sword Intent Seed into your body and then absorb and comprehend the sealed Sword Intent behind it, you will be able to master the Sword Intent."
Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, not to mention the water mother Yin Ji standing to the side.
Even Dongfang Bubai, who already knew that Chu Qinghe possessed many valuable items, showed a slight change in expression.
His gaze, which had just been lifted, couldn't help but fall back onto the box in his hands, his eyes flashing with alternating surprise and delight.
Xiao Zhao, who was standing nearby, said, "The things that Young Master sealed inside this wooden carving can only last for half a month, so they were all carved by Young Master during his rest time these past few nights."
So, what does it mean to be considerate?
That's it.
After Chu Qinghe explained the function and usage of the contents of the box, Xiao Zhao added a helpful touch, letting Dongfang Bubai know how good Chu Qinghe was to him.
Chu Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle to himself at this.
"It wasn't for nothing that we spoiled this girl."
Upon learning that these wood carvings were all done by Chu Qinghe in the past few days, Dongfang Bubai's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and her gaze towards Chu Qinghe softened even more.
Looking at the box in Dongfang Bubai's hand, Shuimu Yinji couldn't help but feel envious.
Over here, Dongfang Bubai glanced at the jellyfish Yin Ji beside him. After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Bubai picked up the pill bottle from the box and drank the wine infused with blood bodhi.
