Seeing Hua Manlou's actions, Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly but did not expose him. He said calmly, "Within twenty-four hours, the toxins will be slowly expelled from the eight extraordinary meridians mixed with blood. The process will be a little painful."
Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Hua Manlou, while supporting Sikong Zhaixing, moved his left hand an inch away from the position of Sikong's wrist.
Immediately afterwards, Hua Manlou said to Chu Qinghe, "Now that the poison has been cured, I will not presume to disturb you any longer."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "Please take care, both of you. Feiyan, see them out."
Following Chu Qinghe's instructions, Qu Feiyan stepped forward, gestured to Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, and then led the way.
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou nodded slightly to Chu Qinghe before following Qu Feiyan outside.
Watching the two figures, a smile involuntarily appeared in Chu Qinghe's eyes.
As Qu Feiyan and Hua Manlou left, Lianxing suddenly realized that although Chu Qinghe, Yaoyue, Shuimu Yinji, Lin Shiyin, and Xiao Zhao were all in the courtyard, none of them spoke.
Moreover, Chu Qinghe's courtyard is only large in the inner courtyard; the distance from the inner courtyard to the front courtyard is only a dozen or so steps.
Even if Qu Feiyan were to see Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou off, it would only take her ten breaths at most.
But now it's been almost twenty breaths, and Qu Feiyan still hasn't returned.
Naturally, the silence of Chu Qinghe and the others at this moment seemed somewhat intriguing.
About ten breaths later, Qu Feiyan, who had gone out earlier, stepped into the inner courtyard from the front yard.
Back in the courtyard, Qu Feiyan said familiarly, "They've already left from the street corner."
Upon hearing this, Lianxing couldn't help but ask, "You guys were just waiting for Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou to leave?"
In response to Lianxing's question, Qu Feiyan, who was sitting next to Lianxing, said casually, "Young Master is always steady, so whenever a stranger comes to the door, he always makes sure the person has left before speaking."
The jellyfish Yin Ji standing nearby said with certainty, "Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou are both Grandmaster level experts. At such close range, if they circulate their true energy, they can hear what we are talking about."
As she spoke, Jellyfish Yin Ji's voice was soft, yet it conveyed a sense of absolute certainty.
After all, the saying "walls have ears" has been perfectly exemplified by Jellyfish Yin Ji.
After learning the reason for Chu Qinghe and the others' previous quietness, Lianxing couldn't help but look at Chu Qinghe with surprise.
Clearly, no one expected that Chu Qinghe, who seemed so lazy and carefree, would actually be so cautious in his actions.
"But if we're going to talk about it, wouldn't it be enough to isolate ourselves with our true energy?"
Seeing Lianxing's confusion, Xiao Zhao chuckled and said, "Young Master is taking care of Feiyan. Otherwise, Feiyan would have to explain it to you again when she comes back."
Qu Feiyan nodded and said, "That's right."
It's important to know that during this period, those who entered Chu Qinghe's courtyard were all renowned masters of the martial arts world.
Especially when it comes to the matter involving Bai Xiaosheng and Zhu Wushi, the waters run incredibly deep.
If Chu Qinghe hadn't explained, not only would Qu Feiyan not understand, but even Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue would have struggled to grasp the intricacies of the situation.
Of course, it's possible that she only missed one or two sentences, and Qu Feiyan probably wouldn't be able to figure out the reason for it even after thinking about it for a month or two.
After explaining to Lianxing the reason for their silence, Qu Feiyan recalled the previous situation and said, "It is widely known in the martial arts world that Lu Xiaofeng is exceptionally intelligent, but today he doesn't seem to have anything special about him. He didn't say much in front of you, young master."
In response to Qu Feiyan's words, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "That's the right way, after all, it's only our first time meeting."
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does Young Master mean that Lu Xiaofeng is observing the situation?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "More or less!"
When you don't understand something, saying too much is bound to lead to mistakes; maintaining appropriate silence is actually the wise thing to do.
At this moment, Yaoyue asked, "Why did you ask Lu Xiaofeng and Daoist Mu questions before?"
Upon hearing Yaoyue's question, the other women immediately looked at Chu Qinghe.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It's just to confirm things further. After all, everything before was just speculation, so we need to confirm whether Daoist Mu will go to the capital to watch the battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng before we can be sure."
Yaoyue asked, "Then what was the purpose of your second question to Lu Xiaofeng?"
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Just confirming the time when the incident happened at Wudang."
Chu Qinghe's words only increased the doubts in the women's hearts.
Yaoyue said, "Can we deduce the time of the incident at Wudang just from the time when Mu Daoren left Wudang?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "More or less!"
Then, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Now, it is basically certain that Song Yuanqiao and other disciples of Wudang Sect can no longer return to Wudang Sect. However, Zhang Sanfeng is safe and sound, so it is naturally difficult for Mu Daoren to take over the position of Wudang Sect Leader in that generation."
"In this process, what Mu Daoren has to do is to ensure his innocence and purity."
"At the very least, we can't let Zhang Sanfeng suspect him."
"Therefore, the current Mu Daoren needs an alibi to prove that his departure is unrelated to what happened at Wudang."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "They've calculated things quite meticulously, only making their move after the decisive battle in the Forbidden City. They've paved the way for everything!"
In response to Chu Qinghe's words, Yaoyue seemed to understand something and followed up with Chu Qinghe's analysis: "In other words, Daoist Ruomu appeared in the capital more than half a month or even a month before the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng. With an alibi, even if something happened at Wudang, no one would blame Daoist Ruomu."
