Listening to Chu Qinghe's analysis of the three possibilities, the women's thoughts raced.
What Chu Qinghe said was quite simple, and anyone who heard it would understand its meaning.
However, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but softly ask Chu Qinghe, "If what you say is true, young master, would the Azure Dragon Society agree to the actions of the Iron-Blooded Marquis?"
After all, the Azure Dragon Society brought Zhu Wushi into its ranks, and what it wanted was definitely not just to replace the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Their true purpose was undoubtedly to control the royal family and even the entire court.
Zhu Wushi's plan was far too ambitious; he was using the Azure Dragon Society merely as a tool.
If Zhu Wushi were to succeed, the threat posed by the Ming imperial family to the Qinglong Society might be even greater than it is now.
In response, Chu Qinghe said softly, "They may know, or perhaps Bai Xiaosheng and the others simply don't care."
Qu Feiyan asked, puzzled, "Don't care? Why?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "If it were before, perhaps Bai Xiaosheng and the Azure Dragon Society would have been more wary, but now, after Zhu Wushi came in person that day, this Iron-Blooded Marquis has a soft spot in his heart, and this soft spot is precisely what makes the Azure Dragon Society feel at ease."
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying that the woman Zhu Wushi asked you to treat when he came to your door that day?"
Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "If there are no surprises, that woman should be Zhu Wushi's sweetheart."
Yaoyue chimed in, "Zhu Wushi's concern for that woman that day was indeed extraordinary."
After saying that, Yaoyue understood what Chu Qinghe meant.
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Such profound thoughts and such sophisticated methods! Weaknesses can be deliberately created? No wonder the imperial court and the Southern Shaolin Temple were so wary of the Azure Dragon Society a hundred years ago."
Since Zhu Wushi was difficult to control, the Azure Dragon Society would try to make him easier to control.
If there is no weakness, create one.
Moreover, Zhu Wushi must willingly reveal this weakness.
Such methods and scheming were chilling to the bone. Among the women, not to mention Xiao Zhao, Lin Shiyin, and Qu Feiyan, even Yaoyue and Shuimu Yinji felt a chill run down their spines when they put themselves in the shoes of the Qinglong Society and thought about the methods and schemes they had devised.
Qu Feiyan, standing beside her, couldn't help but feel confused as well.
Intelligent people are often somewhat arrogant.
Qu Feiyan was so clever and quick-witted that she was naturally quite proud of her intelligence.
Therefore, in Qu Feiyan's opinion, even if they can't compare to cunning foxes like Chu Qinghe and Bai Xiaosheng, they shouldn't be too far off.
But now, after learning about the power struggle and plans between Zhu Wushi and the Azure Dragon Society from Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan realized how naive she had been.
Qu Feiyan couldn't even imagine what Chu Qinghe was saying.
Their thoughts are so convoluted, they've practically gone all the way to the bottom of the ocean.
If the Azure Dragon Society or Zhu Wushi were plotting against her now, Qu Feiyan would probably never understand how she died.
Qu Feiyan knew beforehand how complex the relationships between these powerful forces were.
I never expected the water to be this deep.
How could an ordinary person possibly grasp such a scheme?
After a moment, Qu Feiyan seemed to have thought of something and said, "That's not right! According to what you said, even without Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, it could be done. Why did you say that the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng could help Zhu Wushi ascend the throne?"
Hearing what Qu Feiyan said, Yaoyue and the other women, including Shuimu Yinji, all looked at Chu Qinghe again.
Meeting their gazes, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "To make Zhu Wushi's ascension to the throne more logical!"
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe picked up his water glass, took a sip, and said calmly, "Who's in charge here at Wudang now?"
When asked by Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan replied without hesitation, "Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Sanfeng's eldest disciple."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Qu Feiyan frowned again. "No, Song Yuanqiao and several of Zhang Sanfeng's disciples who went to Bright Peak were captured. Now, among the Seven Masters of Wudang, it seems that only Yu Daiyan is left. However, Yu Daiyan's legs were broken many years ago, and he seems to be only at the early stage of the Innate Realm. It seems that he cannot convince the masses if he is the acting sect leader."
At this moment, Shui Mu Yin Ji spoke up: "Currently, Mu Daoren is temporarily serving as the head of Wudang Sect."
After a pause, Jellyfish Yin Ji looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "So, Daoist Mu is also a member of the Azure Dragon Society?"
Upon hearing this, both Yaoyue and Qu Feiyan realized what was going on.
Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao, on the contrary, looked puzzled.
Upon seeing this, Qu Feiyan took the initiative to explain: "That Daoist Mu entered the early stage of the Grandmaster realm several years ago. Among all the Wudang sects, apart from Zhang Sanfeng, he is the strongest."
"Logically speaking, since Zhang Sanfeng is in seclusion for many years, the person in charge of Wudang should be this Mu Daoren. However, in terms of status, below Zhang Sanfeng are the Seven Heroes of Wudang."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "Not only that, if we really want to talk about status, perhaps that Daoist Mu is even below Song Yuanqiao's son."
