Chapter 396 A wave of the sleeve doesn't take away a single cloud.
After discussing the matter, Chu Qinghe and Bai Xiaosheng talked for a long time, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
From the customs and culture of the Song Dynasty to the various forces vying for power in the Tang Dynasty, and the problems that still exist in the Ming Dynasty.
But conspicuously, not a single word was mentioned about Yuan Tiangang, or even about the land of China and the Great Xia Dynasty.
As the sunlight gradually turned a bit more dim, Bai Xiaosheng put down his teacup and said, "It's getting late, and I have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer, young friend Chu."
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "In that case, please take care, seniors."
Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded, then gestured to Dongfang Bubai and the others before slowly walking outside.
Upon seeing this, Qu Feiyan immediately followed suit.
A moment later, as Qu Feiyan and the others returned to the villa, Chu Qinghe and Dongfang Bubai did not speak immediately.
After waiting for nearly a hundred breaths, Chu Qinghe finally spoke, "Alright, the person is gone."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe continued, "Shiyin, go and get that wooden box that's on the bookshelf in my room."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin used her lightness skill to enter the inner courtyard.
A few moments later, Chu Qinghe placed the wooden box that Lin Shiyin had handed him on the table, and then opened the box to reveal the He Shi Bi jade, which shone brightly despite its lack of luster.
After lingering on the He Shi Bi jade for a few moments, Yaoyue asked, "How credible do you think Sun Baifa's words are?"
Chu Qinghe said slowly, "We have no conflict with Sun Baifa. Compared to Yuan Tiangang, Sun Baifa's words are naturally more credible. Moreover, the two methods of absorbing dragon souls that Sun Baifa mentioned are the same as those mentioned by Yuan Tiangang. If Sun Baifa is lying, it would be unless Sun Baifa is also one of Yuan Tiangang's men, but this possibility can basically be ruled out."
If Sun Baifa was Yuan Tiangang's man, then Yuan Tiangang wouldn't have needed to send people from the Tang Dynasty to deal with Chu Qinghe and the others.
Moreover, Sun Baifa's cultivation level is not limited to just breaking through to the peak of the Celestial Realm.
After a pause, Chu Qinghe said, "I just didn't expect that Yuan Tiangang only knew two methods of absorbing dragon veins and dragon souls, while Sun Baifa would know a third one."
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan said, "That's right. Back then, Yuan Tiangang only mentioned the first two methods of absorbing dragon souls. He didn't know about the third one either."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Qu Feiyan muttered again, "But if even Yuan Tiangang doesn't know, how could Sun Baifa know?"
Shuimu Yinji replied, "The Nine Provinces are also part of the Divine Land. According to Yuan Tiangang, when the Great Xia Dynasty forced the Tianji Sect, many of the sect's secret techniques had already been lost. And this happened before the Nine Provinces were sealed. It's not surprising that there are messages related to the dragon vein in the Nine Provinces."
At this moment, Chu Qinghe said, "There is another possibility: that Yuan Tiangang was lying."
Dongfang Bubai raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You mean, the thief is crying 'stop thief'?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "We can't rule out that possibility. After all, if what Yuan Tiangang said is true, the seal on the Nine Provinces was really done by the Heavenly Mystery Sect. Yuan Tiangang is the sect leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, so there's no reason why he would only have a superficial understanding of the third method of absorbing the dragon soul from the dragon vein."
"What Sun Baifa said earlier has confirmed the effects of the dragon vein and the dragon soul. If one can truly absorb the dragon soul in the dragon vein, one will have the opportunity to rule the world in the future. Few people can resist such benefits. Even if Yuan Tiangang is actually a member of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is not impossible for him to have ulterior motives and want to absorb the dragon soul."
“But if that’s the case, then it makes sense why Yuan Tiangang didn’t tell me about Li Chunfeng’s whereabouts and location in the Qin Kingdom.”
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue analyzed, "Yuan Tiangang already knows Li Chunfeng. If he secretly stirs up trouble around Li Chunfeng, when you go to the Great Qin Kingdom and meet Li Chunfeng, he won't say much and will directly attack. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a good thing for Yuan Tiangang."
Chu Qinghe laughed and said, "What's more, he can also hide in the shadows. If Li Chunfeng and I can fight to the death, he can jump out and take advantage of the situation to eliminate both of us. If Li Chunfeng is not as strong as me, he can make a move in secret or after I have injured Li Chunfeng and left. When the people of the Great Xia Dynasty come to investigate, he can push all the blame onto me without anyone knowing."
In just a few words, he smoothly outlined all the possible scenarios that might occur later.
Yaoyue narrowed her eyes and said, "You've certainly got a good plan."
Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, curled her lip and said, "What's the use of calculating so precisely? Yuan Tiangang is poisoned now and only has a little over two months to live. He won't live to see the day when Young Master goes to the Great Qin Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, the women secretly chuckled to themselves.
Yuan Tiangang had calculated everything, but he never expected Chu Qinghe to be so cautious, with his sole aim being to kill him from beginning to end.
No matter how much you scheme, it's all just a mirage, a fleeting illusion.
Thinking about it, Dongfang Bubai and the others looked at Chu Qinghe with a sense of helplessness in their hearts.
Putting everything else aside, Chu Qinghe's habit of poisoning people before and after any event would be an absolute headache for any enemy.
If anything goes wrong, even if Chu Qinghe leaves quietly afterward, what he takes away with a wave of his sleeve is not a cloud, but a deadly poison that can gradually ferment and seep into the bone.
