After fully understanding all of this, Wanwan's furrowed brows finally relaxed.
However, just as Wanwan's brows relaxed, Chu Qinghe spoke up, "It's not necessarily a frame-up."
"Um?"
Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Wanwan looked at him with a puzzled expression.
The other girls were the same as Wanwan.
Meeting the gazes of the women, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "When you came back earlier, the waiter recognized you."
Wanwan pouted and said, "Since you're from Cihang Jingzhai, what's so strange about you recognizing me?"
After glancing again at Wanwan's bare feet and bells as she crossed her legs, Jellyfish Yinji said, "Indeed, Wanwan's preference for bare feet is quite obvious. It shouldn't be difficult to recognize her."
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "When the waiter recognized Wanwan as she entered, his gaze never fell on Wanwan's bare feet from beginning to end."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Although this Falling Goose Bewitching Powder is a sleeping drug, it is different from ordinary sleeping drugs. It is colorless and odorless, and it is difficult to use ordinary methods to cure it. After being poisoned by this, one must either take a special antidote or wait for the effects of the drug to wear off. Otherwise, even ordinary martial artists at the Grandmaster level will be knocked unconscious after being poisoned by this."
At this point, Chu Qinghe changed the subject, saying, "The medicinal materials used to prepare the Falling Goose Bewitching Powder are not particularly rare, but the cost of preparing the antidote is extremely high, and the formula for the antidote is also rare. If I'm not mistaken, your Yin Gui Sect does not have the antidote for the Falling Goose Bewitching Powder."
Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Wanwan remained silent, simply watching him quietly.
Clearly, Wanwan's reaction was enough to show that things were as Chu Qinghe had said.
Chu Qinghe continued, "Since he can recognize you, if you are from Cihang Jingzhai, the waiter's first thought after learning your identity would be that you might have the antidote for Luoyan Bewitching Powder, and he would run away immediately to save his life."
"But the waiter just calmly went into the room and took away the bowls and plates. He dared to do that because he was certain that you wouldn't notice the problem and also assumed that you didn't have the antidote for the Fallen Goose Bewitching Powder."
At this moment, Chu Qinghe's tone changed, suddenly becoming casual.
"Of course, if Cihang Jingzhai understands your Yin Kui Sect to the extent that there is an antidote for which poisons and which poisons do not, then disregard what I said."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan, being intelligent, immediately understood the meaning behind Chu Qinghe's words and her expression showed a look of realization.
Meanwhile, Shuimu Yinji, lost in thought, spoke up: "If that's the case, then the waiter who poisoned the shop was indeed a disciple of the Yin Gui Sect, but now he's working for Cihang Jingzhai? Is he someone Cihang Jingzhai planted in the Yin Gui Sect?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "It shouldn't be!"
"no?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, not only Dongfang Bubai and the other girls, but even Wanwan stared at Chu Qinghe in astonishment.
What do you mean by that?
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "If that waiter was someone arranged by Cihang Jingzhai to be in the Yin Gui Sect, where in Wencheng County would there be any branch of the Yin Gui Sect? Would they still allow you to secretly gather information and watch Cihang Jingzhai secretly collect women who meet the requirements and send them to Dita Peak?"
Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji and the other girls, as well as Wanwan, immediately realized what was happening.
For top-tier forces like Cihang Jingzhai, which appear glamorous on the surface, reputation is the most important thing.
Once these clandestine activities are discovered, the reputation that Cihang Jingzhai has built up over hundreds of years will be completely destroyed, and it will even become a target of public condemnation.
According to what Wanwan just said, the people of Cihang Jingzhai in Wencheng County specialize in doing these shady things.
Naturally, how could Cihang Jingzhai tolerate having such a mortal enemy as the Yin Gui Sect under its nose when it was doing such despicable things?
The first thing to do is to clean up the area around you.
Otherwise, one would definitely be in a state of sleepless nights and restless days.
Then, Chu Qinghe stroked his chin and said, "So, that waiter shouldn't be a spy planted by Cihang Jingzhai. Come to think of it, he seems to be able to handle both Cihang Jingzhai and Yin Kui Sect in Wencheng County all by himself."
After listening to Chu Qinghe's conclusion, the woman thought about it carefully and realized that only the possibility Chu Qinghe mentioned made sense.
Immediately, Qu Feiyan asked, "So, this waiter must be a member of the Yin Gui Sect, but somehow he got involved with the Cihang Jingzhai and became a double agent?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "It seems that's the case for now."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe clicked his tongue twice in his heart and looked at Wanwan, saying, "I didn't expect that such a talent could appear in your sect."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the girls, including Dongfang Bubai, couldn't help but look at Wanwan with a hint of mockery in their eyes.
To be honest, even Dongfang Bubai and the other women had never seen a case of a double agent like this in all their years of life.
I never expected to see you today.
In contrast, Wanwan was ashen-faced at this moment, and even her teeth were clenched so tightly they made a "crackling" sound.
A few breaths later, Wanwan suddenly circulated her inner energy, opened the door, and darted outside.
After Wanwan left, Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Since you've already noticed that the waiter is acting strangely but haven't made a move, are you planning to play the long game?"
Chu Qinghe sighed and said, "At first, yes, but after Wanwan came back and noticed something was wrong with the waiter's reaction, I became even less inclined to care!"
