Although Yaoyue's strength is much greater than Lianxing's, the two women's cultivation levels are not that different.
It's just a difference of a small level.
However, when Yaoyue returned this year, Lianxing was shocked to find that Yaoyue's cultivation had actually reached the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, and the gap between the two had widened completely.
Lianxing originally thought that Yaoyue had encountered some extraordinary events during the months she was away, so she didn't think much of it.
But now it seems that Yaoyue did indeed have a strange encounter on this trip.
But this extraordinary encounter didn't involve obtaining any rare treasures; rather, it led to meeting Chu Qinghe.
After an afternoon, Lianxing finally understood that the "Indulgent Ascension Steps" that Yaoyue and she were currently cultivating were given to her by Chu Qinghe.
That special wooden carving, imbued with sword intent, was also given to me by Chu Qinghe.
It was also because of Chu Qinghe that Yaoyue's cultivation level jumped twice, and she finally succeeded in entering the early stage of the Grandmaster realm at the age of twenty.
Even in Chu Qinghe's territory, there is the Longevity Elixir, which has the effect of preserving youth.
Thinking about this, Lianxing suddenly understood why someone like Yaoyue was willing to share Chu Qinghe with other women.
It's not just because Chu Qinghe is outstanding, but also because Chu Qinghe has given so much.
……....
June, the fifth day.
Great Heat
As the hottest and most intense solar term of the year, even during this torrential rain, there is no coolness whatsoever; instead, it gives one a feeling of being enveloped in humid heat.
East of the Ming Dynasty, in a bamboo house nestled among the southernmost mountains.
Sun Baifa seemed to be leaning against the door of the bamboo house, letting the raindrops outside wash over his big feet. He would occasionally pop a peanut into his mouth, take a sip of wine, and then puff on his pipe, giving off a pleasant feeling.
However, when he turned his head to look into the room and saw Bai Xiaosheng's slightly solemn expression, Sun Baifa couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Oh, it's been many years since I've seen you look like this. What troublesome thing has happened?"
Upon hearing Sun Baifa's question, Bai Xiaosheng, who was sitting at the table inside the room, gently shook his head.
"It's not that it's tricky, it's just that it felt unexpected."
With that, Bai Xiaosheng put down the letter in his hand and slowly walked to the door of the bamboo house.
His gaze lingered on the rain-soaked lake outside, and he slowly spoke, "I've received news that Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou visited Friend Chu some time ago."
After thinking for a moment, Sun Baifa said, "Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou? Those two rising stars on your list?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded slightly and hummed in agreement.
Seeing this, Sun Baifa pondered for a moment and then asked, "It seems there are rumors in the martial arts world that Lu Xiaofeng has solved many strange cases. What? Are you worried that Lu Xiaofeng might have discovered something when he came into contact with that little fox?"
Bai Xiaosheng said calmly, "Although Lu Xiaofeng is smart, he is only a pawn. He is brave and resourceful, but he is a bit petty. His thoughts and vision are limited to what is around him. Otherwise, we would not have used Lu Xiaofeng as a pawn in our strategy."
"News has come that Sikong Zhaixing had an accident before, and that's when Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou arrived. Moreover, before they arrived in Yushui City from the capital, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng traveled around collecting nine special medicines."
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be that Sikong Zhaixing broke into Chu Xiaoyou's house, got poisoned, and Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng went to ransom him with some things."
Sun Baifa asked in confusion, "Since those two young men didn't find anything, why did you look so serious earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said, "After Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, and Sikong Zhaixing left, Lu Xiaofeng sent a message to Mu Daoren, saying that he had asked Mu Daoren when he would go to the capital to watch the final battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue."
Upon hearing this, Sun Baifa's expression turned somewhat astonished.
"Why is that little fox asking this wooden Taoist all this time?"
Bai Xiaosheng sighed again and said, "What do you think?"
Upon hearing what Bai Xiaosheng said, Sun Baifa's expression gradually became serious.
"Could it be that the little fox really discovered something?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "They should have discovered something, or rather, they discovered more than I expected."
A few breaths later, Sun Baifa, who understood what Bai Xiaosheng meant, was no longer lazy and sat up straight.
"How exactly did the little fox find out?"
Bai Xiaosheng slowly said, "How else can we find out? We can judge when we are going to take action against Wudang by the time when Mu Daoren arrives in the capital."
After saying that, Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed, "I never expected that you could deduce our purpose from this point. This young friend Chu has such a clever way of thinking."
After a quick thought, Sun Baifa replied to Bai Xiaosheng's words, "So, that little fox also guessed your next plan?"
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "If that weren't the case, why would they deliberately use Lu Xiaofeng to inform us?"
Sun Bai asked, "What do you mean, 'I'm using Lu Xiaofeng to inform you'?"
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "Since that young friend Chu deliberately used Sikong Zhaixing to lure Lu Xiaofeng over, he must know Lu Xiaofeng's character. As for the relationship between Lu Xiaofeng and Mu Daoren, even my Grandmaster Ranking records Lu Xiaofeng's relationship clearly. How could he not know that after inquiring about Mu Daoren's affairs, Lu Xiaofeng would inform Mu Daoren?"
"What do you think is Chu's purpose in doing this?"
Sun Baifa said in a deep voice, "You mean, that kid already knew you were the leader of the Azure Dragon Society?"
Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said, "They should know."
