Under the watchful eyes of the women, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It seems that after this incident with the Azure Dragon Society, the next target will be the Divine Sword Manor."
As soon as she spoke, Jellyfish Yin Ji said, "Among the top forces that besieged the Azure Dragon Society a hundred years ago, the imperial court and the Southern Shaolin Temple were the main ones. Of the top forces that participated at the same time, three have been destroyed in the past hundred years. The only ones left are Divine Sword Manor and Round Moon Sect."
"However, two years ago, Ren Tianxing, the leader of the Round Moon Sect, and Ding Peng, the Demon Blade, went missing after their duel outside Bailuo Mountain. Bai Xiaosheng also removed them from the Heavenly Ranking. They must have perished together."
"Without Ren Tianxing, the Round Moon Sect is now universally reviled and has fallen to the status of a second-rate power. If the Azure Dragon Society wants to destroy it, it will be a piece of cake."
"Once the Divine Sword Manor is also eliminated, all the top forces that participated in the siege of the Azure Dragon Society will be wiped out. It makes sense that the Azure Dragon Society's next target would be the Divine Sword Manor."
Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, said, "Since the Azure Dragon Society's next target is the Divine Sword Manor, is Bai Xiaosheng planning to give all the forces south of the Great Ming to Sister Dongfang after the Divine Sword Manor?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Bubai shook his head and snorted coldly, "There's no such thing as a free lunch."
After a slight pause, Dongfang Bubai slowly said, "They just want to use me and the Nujiao Gang to stabilize the martial arts forces in the south."
"Um?"
Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Qu Feiyan, Shuimu Yinji, and the other women naturally shifted their gazes to Dongfang Bubai.
After a quick thought, Qu Feiyan asked in astonishment, "Does Sister Dongfang mean that Bai Xiaosheng is doing this just to better control the sphere of influence that originally belonged to the Divine Sword Manor?"
Dongfang Bubai gave a soft "hmm" and then slowly said, "The Divine Sword Manor has stood for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted. Even if the Divine Sword Manor is destroyed, it will take a lot of time to clean up and control all the forces under its control. Moreover, for the sake of profit, the various Jianghu forces within the Divine Sword Manor's territory will continue to fight each other."
"At that time, my Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Angry Dragon Gang, where Lang Fanyun is located, will inevitably be implicated."
Shuimu Yinji added, "After the destruction of Shenjian Manor, the two most powerful people south of the Ming Dynasty were undoubtedly the eldest sister and Lang Fanyun, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm. In the end, the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Angry Dragon Gang quickly suppressed and gathered the forces around Shenjian Manor."
"After the suppression, the forces that originally belonged to the Divine Sword Manor south of the Great Ming have become more subdued. Once the Azure Dragon Society stabilizes in the future, if they want to control the area south of the Great Ming, they only need to start with the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Angry Dragon Gang, which will save time and effort."
"His wishful thinking is indeed quite clever."
After understanding the deeper meaning behind Bai Xiaosheng's actions, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Since Bai Xiaosheng was scheming, why did you say that Bai Xiaosheng gained a favor for nothing?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Regardless of Bai Xiaosheng's plans afterward, his current actions have indeed saved the East a lot of time. Otherwise, given the situation south of the Great Ming, it would have taken the East at least half a year to establish the Sun Moon Sect's foothold."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe seemed to have thought of something, and a smile of interest suddenly appeared on his lips.
"This Azure Dragon Society is more adept at playing games than I thought."
Noticing Chu Qinghe's expression, Dongfang Bubai asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "I've thought of some things, but I'm not sure yet. However, they are just some details and are not much different from the general ideas we discussed."
After glancing at the women, he said calmly, "Don't think about it. Anyway, this matter won't affect us. Just watch the show."
Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, the other women could only suppress their own thoughts.
Looking around, the sky had already darkened considerably.
Half an hour later, the area around the pavilion was filled with lanterns.
A mountain breeze blew by, causing the lanterns to sway gently.
When Dongfang Bubai returned, in addition to the two food boxes wrapped in true energy, he also had a wooden box in his hand.
Once inside the pavilion, as Shui Mu Yin Ji and the other women began taking out the food from the food boxes, Dongfang Bubai casually handed the wooden box to Chu Qinghe.
"The century-old Ganoderma lucidum you requested."
After Chu Qinghe took the box and opened it, he glanced at the Ganoderma lucidum inside and quickly crushed it with his true energy.
Sensing the fluctuations of Chu Qinghe's true energy at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, Dongfang Bubai's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.
"You've actually reached the early stage of the Grandmaster realm?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe replied in a somewhat casual tone, "Yes! I only broke through not long ago."
Seeing Chu Qinghe's calm and casual demeanor, Dongfang Bubai shook his head but didn't ask any further questions.
A few breaths later, as the century-old Ganoderma lucidum turned into powder, Chu Qinghe took the water bag that Xiao Zhao had brought and poured it into an empty bowl. Chu Qinghe then divided the powder of the century-old Ganoderma lucidum that had just been crushed into about five qian and sprinkled it into the empty bowl. Then he reached into his robe and took out a wooden box.
Inside was the Azure Silk Jade Pill that Yaoyue had prepared before she left.
When the Azure Jade Pill fell into the bowl, several pills instantly dissolved.
At the same time, after the pill dissolved, the water in the bowl instantly turned a bright white in the eyes of the women.
