Having identified Zhu Wushi's target, Dongfang Bubai sneered, "What's laughable is that some people almost got used as pawns."
Even after identifying the true culprit among the Yihua Palace disciples and the mastermind behind it all, Yaoyue's expression did not improve.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
Dongfang Bubai, standing to the side, was not much better looking either.
After all, Zhu Wushi's actions, although aimed at the Yihua Palace, undoubtedly also involved himself and the Sun Moon Divine Sect in his scheme.
For Dongfang Bubai, directly targeting her Sun Moon Cult was no different.
Immediately, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yaoyue and said, "I'm not sure, but there's an old grudge between your Yihua Palace and that Zhu Wushi."
Having spent so much time together, Yaoyue understood perfectly what Dongfang Bubai meant.
After a few moments of contemplation, Yaoyue said coldly, "Three months ago, Zhu Wushi sent people to my Yihua Palace, wanting to cooperate with Yihua Palace."
Qu Feiyan asked with a gossipy look, "What does he want to collaborate on?"
Yaoyue said calmly, "I don't know. At the time, we just threw the people Zhu Wushi sent out."
Qu Feiyan: "......."
Qu Feiyan smirked at what Yaoyue said, but when her gaze fell on Yaoyue, she felt it was only natural.
Given Yaoyue's style of doing things, there's nothing strange about this.
After a short while, Yaoyue sneered, "Heh, but since you dare to set your sights on my Yihua Palace, you've got quite the nerve."
Seeing Yaoyue's reaction, Chu Qinghe gently shook his head.
"It's better to be careful! That Zhu Wushi is no ordinary person."
Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Young Master, you also know this Zhu Wushi?"
The fact that Zhu Wushi was able to rise from an unpopular and down-on-his-luck prince to a Grandmaster-level expert, and even establish the Dragon Guardian Manor with a formidable reputation, speaks volumes about his abilities.
Moreover, the imperial court is different from the martial arts world; in terms of intrigue and power struggles, it is even more intense than the martial arts world.
To have risen step by step in the court to the point where he subtly controls it, one can only imagine Zhu Wushi's intelligence, shrewdness, and even his methods.
In terms of cunning, even the combined cunning of Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue wouldn't be as much as Zhu Wushi's.
If the two women are too careless, they will likely suffer a great loss.
Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe said nothing more.
Both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue are intelligent people, and they know that some things are best left unsaid.
The rest, Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai will naturally handle.
Chu Qinghe's cultivation level is only at the first-class level, so why does he have to worry about the affairs of a grandmaster?
A short while later, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "I wonder if those two old men from yesterday are still in the city?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "So what if he is? Since you sent a child to deliver this letter, you obviously don't want to show your face and cause trouble for yourself. Why are you making a fuss about it?"
After pausing for a moment, Chu Qinghe sighed softly again.
"I've received the message, but I'm indebted to them, and I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay it."
Qu Feiyan asked in surprise, "Is Young Master worried that those two old men have ulterior motives?"
After glancing at Qu Feiyan, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "Otherwise what? Do you think everyone is a living bodhisattva?"
The idea of getting something for nothing is just wishful thinking.
If such a windfall were to happen, it would often be a fatal mistake.
...
afternoon
As the sun gradually faded, Qu Feiyan, who had been basking in the sun for over an hour and felt utterly listless, pulled Xiao Zhao, whose eyes were still half-closed, towards the kitchen to begin preparing dinner.
After both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue finished their photosynthesis, they also cultivated in this courtyard.
After all, Dongfang Bubai's cultivation was not yet fully stable, while Yaoyue was eyeing the wine made from the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass.
In addition, the pressure that the two women felt from each other prevented them from wasting time sitting quietly with Chu Qinghe after bathing in the sun, as they usually did.
Chu Qinghe sat alone on the stone bench, one hand supporting his cheek. He would glance at Dongfang Bubai and then at Yaoyue. As the wine warmed him, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and he looked forward to what the two maids in the kitchen would prepare for dinner.
However, just then, a knock came from outside the door again.
As the sound reached their ears, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, who were cultivating, slightly raised their eyes.
Chu Qinghe, who was sitting in the courtyard, also felt a slight unease.
The next moment, Qu Feiyan's head popped out from the kitchen.
"Was someone knocking on the door again just now?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe gave a soft "hmm".
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan finally stepped outside.
As she walked, the little girl kept muttering to herself.
A moment later, as she walked to the front gate, Qu Feiyan first leaned over the wall and looked outside.
Just as the little girl poked her head out from behind the wall, several pairs of eyes immediately fell on Qu Feiyan's head on the wall.
At the same time, Qu Feiyan also got a clear look at the people at the door.
One person was dressed as a constable.
The other six women were all dressed in white dresses and had their hair styled in lily buns. The left side of their dresses had a pattern resembling blue waves.
And each of them wore a white veil, making it impossible to see their true faces.
Looking up at Qu Feiyan, who was peeking out from behind the wall, the veiled woman at the head of the group turned to the constable beside her and asked, "Is it her?"
