Unless the current Dongfang Bubai can reach the Celestial Realm of cultivation like Zhang Sanfeng did back then, and forcefully suppress everyone around him with his strength, no one would dare to touch his tiger's whiskers.
Otherwise, given the current strength of the elders in the Sun Moon Divine Sect at the Innate Realm, there are many things they would be unable to handle.
Over time, Dongfang Bubai, who was distracted by developing his career, was inevitably overtaken and even outpaced by Yaoyue.
When the time comes, once Yaoyue finds an opportunity, she will put pressure on Dongfang Bubai.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe didn't say much and slowly stood up.
A moment later, a wooden box and a kettle appeared on the table.
Chu Qinghe said, "The wooden carvings in the first row still contain the Flying Immortal Sword Intent. Given your current situation, the remaining few should be enough for you to reach the perfect state of the Flying Immortal Sword Intent. The second row contains the seeds of the Proud Snow Sword Intent. The third row contains wooden carvings that seal the insights and cultivation methods of the 'Smoke and Rain Azure Wave Force'. As for the wine, it is wine made from Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass. There should be enough for five people in this container."
When he spoke, Chu Qinghe's voice remained lazy.
However, when these words reached Dongfang Bubai's ears, they caused a slight smile to appear on his lips.
When his gaze fell on Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai's eyes softened.
Emotions are always the most unpredictable and uncertain thing in the world.
Every relationship is a high-stakes gamble.
Some women will lose at gambling, while others will win.
But in Dongfang Bubai's view, his gamble was a stunt that had been won.
In this gamble, Dongfang Bubai won someone who would always care about him and take his words to heart.
After Lin Shiyin helped Dongfang Bubai pack the two items into his bundle, Dongfang Bubai pondered for a few moments, then glanced at Yaoyue and said, "I hope that when I come back next time, there won't be a new face in this courtyard."
Upon hearing the words, Yaoyue's expression suddenly darkened.
In a fit of rage, he unconsciously squeezed the wine glass in his hand and crushed it.
His eyes instantly turned hostile.
However, without giving Yaoyue a chance to get angry, Dongfang Bubai sneered and then took the package and moved away into the distance.
This left the fire that had just been lit by Yue with nowhere to go.
The constant rise and fall of her chest made Chu Qinghe glance at her, while Qu Feiyan beside her felt envious.
Then, Qu Feiyan glanced at Xiao Zhao's chest before shifting her gaze to Lin Shiyin.
Looking at herself one last time, Qu Feiyan suddenly felt the deep malice the world held towards her.
However, less than half an incense stick's time after Dongfang Bubai left, two carriages silently entered Yushui City from the north gate.
Inside the lead carriage, there were only two people.
One of them looked to be in his early fifties, with a square face, a resolute expression, and an air of righteousness swirling between his brows.
His mustache was also neatly trimmed.
Furthermore, the long robe made of precious materials and the golden crown inlaid with plump pearls on the man's head further enhanced his noble and domineering aura.
If an official in the capital or a knowledgeable person in the martial arts world were to see this man, they would surely recognize him at a glance.
The Imperial Uncle of the Ming Dynasty, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, Zhu Wushi.
Opposite the man sat another person.
Dressed in a white scholar's robe and holding a folding fan, she was a man, but her Adam's apple revealed that she was clearly a beautiful woman.
Given her attire and the fact that she was able to ride in the same carriage as Zhu Wushi, the woman's identity was obvious.
Shangguan Haitang is the adopted daughter of the Iron-Blooded Marquis and the head of the "Xuan" secret agents under his command.
As the carriages moved slowly forward, after a few brief pauses, they headed west of the city.
Half an hour later, as the carriage slowly moved forward, it eventually entered the street where Chu Qinghe's residence was located.
As the carriage entered the street, Shangguan Haitang's expression changed slightly. After glancing out through the curtain in the carriage, she asked in a deep voice, "Father, since we entered the western part of the city, there have been twelve people watching us. Should I take action to deal with them?"
Upon hearing what Shangguan Haitang said, Zhu Wushi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
His eagle eyes were slightly deep, giving people both a sense of vastness and domineering power like an eagle's eyes, and a strong sense of self-confidence.
After opening his eyes, Zhu Wushi smiled and said, "It's not twelve people, but sixteen, and four of them have reached the Innate Realm."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haitang's expression changed.
"There are four more experts at the Innate Realm?"
After a moment of surprise, Shangguan Haitang spoke up: "Yushui City is just a small border town. Logically speaking, even a first-rate martial artist should be rare. Why are there four experts at the Innate Realm? Could it be that they are also here for Chu Qinghe?"
When asked by Shangguan Haitang, Zhu Wushi shook his head and said, "They are just some spies, no need to pay them any attention."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haitang nodded slightly and said, "Haitang understands."
After responding to Shangguan Haitang, Zhu Wushi also raised his eyes slightly, looking through the curtain of the carriage at the two words "Chu Residence" at the end of the street, and narrowed his eyes.
"I hope that the All-Knowing Scholar hasn't lied to me this time!"
