After muttering another curse about Chu Qinghe and his companions' "shamelessness" in her mind, Zhao Min smiled and said, "Just as I expected, Young Master Zhao, you've managed to find an excellent spot to watch the play, just like last time at Bright Peak."
In response to Zhao Min's words, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Your Highness is quite capable, as you were able to guess my location."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "This is the vanguard of Fahua Peak. Only here can you see the gate of the Northern Shaolin Temple and observe the surrounding situation. Young Master Zhao does not intend to get involved in the Northern Shaolin Temple's affairs this time, but he is not leaving either. If you want to watch the show, this position is naturally the most suitable."
Hearing Zhao Min's words, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "If that's the case, this position should have been occupied by the people of the Great Yuan Kingdom first."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "If Young Master Zhao is willing to watch the show, Minmin will naturally not let anyone disturb Young Master Zhao's enjoyment."
Hearing Zhao Min's words, Chu Qinghe glanced lightly at the two Xuanming Elders behind Zhao Min.
Noticing Chu Qinghe's gaze, the two Xuanming elders behind Zhao Min couldn't help but take a half step back, almost instinctively circulating their internal energy as if facing a formidable enemy.
Sensing the reaction of the Xuanming Elders behind her, Zhao Min pondered for a moment before looking at Chu Qinghe and saying, "Speaking of which, I have never met anyone as cautious as Young Master Zhao. You are clearly extremely powerful, yet you prefer to use poison. Don't you think such methods are a bit beneath your dignity?"
Knowing that Zhao Min was referring to his two previous acts of poisoning Pang Ban, Chu Qinghe said with unwavering composure, "If I had used my full strength the first two times, I'm afraid the Princess and the Demon Master wouldn't be able to stay safely around the Northern Shaolin Temple. I showed mercy, so why don't I feel any gratitude from the Princess?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Min raised an eyebrow slightly, but immediately replied, "That's true. In a way, Minmin should thank Young Master Zhao for showing mercy the first two times."
Seeing that Zhao Min thanked him without hesitation, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but glance at Zhao Min.
With her thick skin and quick wit, it must be said that in terms of intelligence and shrewdness, Zhao Min is indeed far superior to ordinary women.
Then, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "At such a critical moment, Princess Minmin came here in secret to watch the show with me. Is the Demon Master really willing to let the princess put herself in such danger?"
In response to Chu Qinghe's question, Zhao Min replied, "Young Master Zhao has already stated that he will not participate in the affairs between our Great Yuan Kingdom and the Great Song Kingdom this time. My master and I naturally trust Young Master Zhao, so there is no need for us to risk our lives, is there?"
Hearing Zhao Min's words, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Princess, there is no need to continue testing me. I have said that I will not get involved in the affairs of the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Northern Shaolin Temple this time, and I will not go back on my word."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Min's smile deepened, and she said no more.
However, just as Zhao Min was about to look away, her gaze lingered for a moment on the embrace of the Water Mother Yin Ji.
Seeing the little guy sleeping soundly in the arms of the jellyfish Yin Ji, Zhao Min's eyes lit up at the sight of the adorable little creature.
But after glancing at him a few times, Zhao Min couldn't help but turn her gaze to Chu Qinghe's face.
As her gaze lingered on Chu Qinghe's face, a hint of doubt crept into her eyes.
Previously, it was fine because Zhao Min and the others were far away from Chu Qinghe.
But now, Zhao Min and Chu Qinghe are only a few steps apart.
At this distance, Zhao Min was unable to find any trace of human skin masks on Chu Qinghe's face or even on the neck of Shuimu Yinji.
No matter how you look at it, Chu Qinghe and the others' faces exude a natural feeling.
"What kind of disguise technique is this? How can it be so seamless?"
...
at the same time.
Inside the main hall of the Northern Shaolin Temple, dozens of monks gathered, each with a bewildered and anxious expression.
Each monk was wearing a red robe and was quite old.
Judging from his position in the Northern Shaolin Temple, he must have a high status.
Just then, a monk who looked to be over sixty years old, with obvious signs of aging, slowly walked in from one side of the main hall.
Compared to other monks, this old monk's robe was adorned with gold-threaded swastikas and inlaid with gemstones.
It is the Seven Treasures Kasaya that only the abbot of the Northern Shaolin Temple can wear.
Naturally, the old monk's identity was then revealed.
He is the current abbot of the Northern Shaolin Temple.
Xuan Ci, a master at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.
Upon seeing the old monk, all the other monks in the main hall bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Abbot."
Facing these monks, Xuanci nodded slightly and then asked, "How is the situation outside?"
An old monk responded, "Abbot, according to the statistics of the disciples at the foot of the mountain, there are now thirty-seven forces gathered at the foot of the mountain. Moreover, based on observations, more and more forces will be gathering towards our Shaolin Temple, all carrying invitations and claiming to participate in the so-called martial arts conference."
After this monk landed, the other monks also spoke up one after another.
"But Shaolin has never said it would hold a martial arts tournament, let alone issue a call to arms. There must be something fishy about what is happening today."
"Yes! The reason they came up with was to resist the Yuan Dynasty and elect a martial arts alliance leader. Now the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are at peace, and the Beggar Clan is guarding the border. The Song Dynasty is safe and sound, so why is there any talk of resisting the Yuan Dynasty?"
.........
Hearing what the monks in front of him were saying, Xuan Ci waved his hand.
Noticing Xuan Ci's actions, everyone else quieted down and waited for Xuan Ci to speak.
In response, Xuan Ci said, "Xuan De, you should make the arrangements first. Have some disciples temporarily set up a competition area in the back mountain. There's no need to go to too much trouble. Also, prepare appropriate seats according to the sects that come."
After saying that, Xuan Ci looked at another monk and said, "Xuan Ming, take some disciples down the mountain to meet the group of martial arts forces that are coming to our door. Take them to the back mountain and prepare tea and snacks for them."
Under Xuanci's repeated instructions, one of the monks couldn't help but ask, "Abbot, this martial arts tournament is clearly acting strangely. Abbot, what is this...?"
In response to the question, Xuan Ci slowly said, "It is precisely because there is something strange about this that I am going with the flow and want to see what the other party's purpose is."
However, one of the monks spoke up in response to Xuanci's words: "But wouldn't this play right into the hands of those who are secretly pushing this martial arts tournament?"
In response, Xuan Ci said slowly, "That's right, so we also need to thank the person who secretly instigated this martial arts tournament. They unintentionally helped us."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, all the monks in the hall were stunned, unable to understand the meaning behind Xuan Ci's words.
