"A year ago, the leader of the Bad People had fought with Song Que, the Heavenly Blade of the Song Clan. His strength and cultivation were suspected to be at the Celestial Realm."
"However, although the Bad People are extremely powerful, they have always been elusive since their establishment. Apart from other top forces in the Tang Dynasty, even the first-class forces in the Tang Dynasty itself are unaware of the existence of this newly emerging top force."
At this point, Bai Xiaosheng stopped talking.
But the meaning behind it is all too obvious.
This is a veiled reference to the Hengshan Sect's actions against Dongfang Bubai in the previous incident and the recent incident at Guangming Peak.
Qu Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "It really is people from the Tang Dynasty plotting against Sister Dongfang!"
After revealing this information, Bai Xiaosheng asked, "I wonder if Young Master Chu thinks this message is enough as compensation?"
Hearing what Bai Xiaosheng said, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "That's enough, of course."
After a slight pause, Chu Qinghe continued, "However, compared to this matter, what I am more concerned about now is that Pang Ban and the others will be unable to use force in the future, which may affect your plans and those of the Azure Dragon Society!"
Bai Xiaosheng paused slightly, then looked at Chu Qinghe with a sudden deepening of his gaze.
After a pause of almost a breath, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "In the martial world, accidents are inevitable. Since Pang Ban acted on his own, he can only be considered to have brought all the consequences upon himself. Young friend Chu, rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "With your words, senior, I am relieved."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe raised his hand and drew out the remaining tea from the teacups in front of Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa, letting it fall onto the flowers and plants nearby. Then he picked up the wine pot next to him and poured a cup of wine for the two of them, saying, "The night is getting late, and I'm sorry to have troubled you two to come all this way. Here's a cup of wine as my apology."
Smelling the faint aroma of wine wafting through the air, Sun Baifa's eyes lit up, and his gaze involuntarily fell upon the pale red wine in his glass.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at them and then smiled lightly, saying, "You're too kind, young friend."
After giving a brief reply, Bai Xiaosheng picked up the wine glass on the table and took a small sip.
Sun Baifa, standing next to him, had his eyes light up after taking a sip of the wine, and then downed the entire glass in one gulp.
But the next second, Sun Baifa's expression changed slightly after finishing the wine. He looked at the wine glass in his hand with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
At the same time, Bai Xiaosheng's hand, which was holding the wine glass, paused slightly, then he continued to sip it as if nothing had happened.
"Now that this matter is settled, young friend Chu, are you planning to continue your travels for a while longer, or are you preparing to return home?"
Over here, Chu Qinghe, who was also sipping his drink, said softly, "I'll be going back by the end of Chenshi tomorrow! After all, no one will be home for a while, and it will be troublesome to clean up if I stay too long."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's reply, Bai Xiaosheng's smile widened even more.
"Indeed, Yushui City has beautiful scenery and is indeed a good place to live. It is much more comfortable than the chaos outside."
After saying this, Bai Xiaosheng slowly drank the wine in his cup.
Setting the cup down again, Bai Xiaosheng slowly stood up and said, "It's getting late, and I need to clean up the mess, so it's not convenient for me to stay any longer."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "It's inconvenient for me to go out, so please forgive me for not being able to see you off. Please take care, seniors."
"polite!"
After Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa nodded in acknowledgment, they turned and walked outside.
After the two left, Chu Qinghe, who had been maintaining a composed demeanor, instantly became lazy.
Thinking about what Bai Xiaosheng had said before, he rubbed his chin with his right hand.
"Are they scoundrels?"
Beside them, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao sat down together. Qu Feiyan pondered, "I didn't expect that the force targeting Sister Dongfang would be a top-tier power. No wonder they were able to bring out a Grandmaster-level expert and persuade Pang Ban."
Xiao Zhao asked curiously, "But why didn't you ask that all-knowing scholar why the Bad People in the Tang Dynasty were targeting Sister Dongfang?"
Qu Feiyan rested her chin on her hand and said, "There's no need for that."
Then, amid Xiao Zhao's confusion, Qu Feiyan explained, "Anyway, the matter originated from the Hengshan Sect. As long as Sister Dongfang does what Young Master said this afternoon, that villain should stop targeting Sister Dongfang. We'll find out the specific reasons later."
Xiao Zhao replied, "But didn't Sister Dongfang and Sister Situ kill a mid-stage Grandmaster and a peak Grandmaster together before? Would they really let it go?"
Qu Feiyan said calmly, "The fact that the Bad Guys were able to consider getting rid of Sister Dongfang twice in such a short period of time is enough to show how much they value the Hengshan Sect."
"The Hengshan Sect is, after all, within the territory of the Yihua Palace. There's no need for them to make such a big fuss over there. Otherwise, attracting the attention of the Yihua Palace would be a real problem. I doubt that the Bad People are so clueless as to deliberately make trouble for themselves."
Xiao Zhao suddenly realized, "No wonder you were so sure that if Sister Dongfang gave up the Hengshan Sect, they wouldn't pursue the matter. It turns out it was because you were wary of the Yihua Palace."
After explaining to Xiao Zhao, Qu Feiyan turned her head to look at Chu Qinghe beside her.
Noticing the thoughtful look on Chu Qinghe's face, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you thinking about how to deal with that rogue?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe retorted irritably, "Why would I want to think about that thing?"
Qu Feiyan said in surprise, "Those bad guys targeted Sister Dongfang twice. I thought you would think about how to deal with them and avenge Sister Dongfang."
