Therefore, as he pondered, Dongfang Bubai slowly said, "There are still some issues in the Sun Moon Sect that haven't been resolved. I may have to go into seclusion to prepare for next year's events when I return, so I won't be able to go with you."
Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Yaoyue's expression turned cold.
"This foolish woman, does she really think the position of Empress is already in her grasp?"
Clearly, in Yaoyue's view, the reason why Dongfang Bubai is not going to the Great Song Dynasty is that he wants to focus on his cultivation and even prepare during this time, so that he can surpass her and enter the palace next year.
"You're dreaming. Do you really think I'll grant your wish?"
With her thoughts racing, Yaoyue slowly said, "I will also return to Yihua Palace later to handle some palace affairs before going into seclusion to cultivate."
Upon hearing Yaoyue's words, Lianxing looked completely bewildered. She couldn't think of any matter in Yihua Palace that was so urgent that Yaoyue needed to rush back to handle it personally.
However, Yaoyue did not explain to Lianxing, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression. Instead, she looked at Dongfang Bubai with a playful gaze.
Meeting Yaoyue's gaze, Dongfang Bubai gave a nonchalant snort, his face showing dissatisfaction.
However, while showing his displeasure, Dongfang Bubai lowered his gaze slightly and glanced at Yaoyue's chest.
"Ha! So what if she has a good figure? She traded her brains for it."
Beside her, the jellyfish Yin Ji, an observer, first looked at Yao Yue, and then at Dongfang Bubai.
A few breaths later, Jellyfish Yin Ji couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected, the eldest sister is much more cunning than the second sister."
In Jellyfish Yin Ji's opinion, if Dongfang Bubai simply wanted to avoid going, he could have just given a brief notice.
There was absolutely no need to deliberately mention things like "going into seclusion to prepare for next year" in the conversation.
This move was clearly intended to make Yaoyue feel a sense of urgency by mentioning the Empress's affairs next year, thus preventing her from going to the Great Song Dynasty with Chu Qinghe.
However, even though she had vaguely understood Dongfang Bubai's little scheme, Shuimu Yinji showed no sign of saying a word.
Instead, he sat quietly to the side, keeping a smile on his face and pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if he knew nothing.
You know, one monk has water to drink, but three monks fight over it.
Now, she could go to the Great Song Dynasty alone with Chu Qinghe. Not only would it be easy, but she could also drink as much water as she wanted. For Shui Mu Yin Ji, this was simply a case of getting away with something without even trying.
Just enjoy it quietly.
"So happy!"
Chu Qinghe, having also discerned Dongfang Bubai's ulterior motives, couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
However, he did not deliberately give Yaoyue any hints.
After all, Chu Qinghe's trip to the Song Dynasty was not a purely leisurely outing.
It wouldn't matter if Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai didn't follow.
Moreover, the matter between the Azure Dragon Society and Zhu Wushi is not yet over.
It's not a bad thing for Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue to stay in the Ming Dynasty.
Then, Chu Qinghe slowly got up and walked into the room.
When he came out, Chu Qinghe had two more wooden boxes in his hands.
After placing the two wooden boxes on the table, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "These contain golden needles that I have prepared with special medicine. If you encounter danger, insert them into the Baihui, Dangyang, and Tongtian acupoints on the top of your head. Insert the needles one inch deep, and your cultivation will rise by one realm within an hour."
"Take the Jade Cardamom Pills I gave you earlier within this hour. The medicinal properties of the Jade Cardamom Pills can completely neutralize the aftereffects of the acupuncture."
After learning about the contents of the box, Dongfang Bubai asked, "Are you worried about those bad guys?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "This trip to the Great Song Kingdom and back will probably take at least two months. Meanwhile, the intentions of the Bad People in the Great Tang Kingdom are unclear, and the situation is uncertain. During this time, it's better to keep some trump cards and be cautious in case of any unforeseen circumstances."
Dongfang Bubai didn't say much about this, and simply put the wooden box into his pocket.
Seeing Dongfang Bubai's actions, Yaoyue, who was standing to the side, also gently raised her jade hand and sucked the wooden box on the table into her hand.
A few breaths later, Dongfang Bubai lowered his gaze to the letter on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said, "According to what you said before, the medicinal herbs needed are rare, and Bai Xiaosheng only took twenty days to get concrete results. It seems that the Qinglong Society's intelligence and informants are stronger than I imagined."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "It shouldn't be the Azure Dragon Society, but rather the intelligence capabilities of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe explained, "Each skill has its own specialty and focus. The Azure Dragon Society was a mess before, and all its plans could only be made in the Ming Dynasty. It probably didn't have the resources to spread its spies to other countries."
After witnessing Gongzi Yu's premature aging, Chu Qinghe was able to guess the past situation of the Azure Dragon Society.
If the Azure Dragon Society had the resources to spread its spies to other countries, why would Gongzi Yu have exhausted himself to this point?
Upon learning that they could set off for the Great Song Dynasty the next day, Qu Feiyan and the other two women, who were filled with curiosity, were no longer the depressed girls they had been after Linglong's questioning.
As Dongfang Bubai and Shuimu Yinji began to close their eyes and cultivate, the three women set off to pack their things, their excitement palpable.
However, compared to the three women, Chu Qinghe sighed softly in his heart at this moment.
"Well, looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight."
Therefore, God is fair.
When you open a window, you must also close a door.
