In response to Sun Baifa's question, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I just happened to receive some news about the Sun Moon Cult a while ago. It is said that the Sun Moon Cult has been investigating this matter recently, but it seems that they were misled in the end."
Sun Bai asked, "What? You want to give this information to Dongfang Bubai for free?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said frankly, "Let's make a good connection! After all, the Sun Moon Sect and the Flower Shifting Palace can be said to control this southwestern region. If the Azure Dragon needs something in the future, we won't be completely helpless."
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng's words, Sun Baifa shook his head and said, "I don't know what you were thinking. Why did you have to join the Azure Dragon Society and become its leader to get involved in this mess?"
Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said, "When you're in the martial world, you're not in control of your own destiny. Many things are simply the way things are, and ultimately, I can't change them."
Perhaps feeling the topic was too heavy, after a moment of contemplation, Sun Baifa suddenly leaned closer with a smile and asked, "What news was there about the Sun Moon Divine Sect before? Why don't you tell me?"
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Sun Baifa and said, "Give me back my clothes first, they're drafty."
Sun Baifa said irritably, "You're a Grandmaster-level martial artist, you can go without clothes and it won't hurt you, what are you worried about letting in the wind!"
Bai Xiaosheng: "The problem is your clothes are rotten. I've been playing with you all night, that's enough!"
Sun Baifa retorted, "I'm your senior brother. What's wrong with wearing your clothes? Believe me or not, I'll spread your nickname. If people in the martial arts world knew that Bai Xiaosheng was called Gou Dan when he was a child, do you think anyone would still want to be on your lists?"
Bai Xiaosheng's expression darkened as he said, "You surnamed Sun, don't force me to take action!"
Sun Baifa's eyes widened, then he slammed his pipe on the table and shouted, "Oh ho, you're really getting hot-tempered, aren't you? Want to practice? Take off your clothes and practice shirtless?"
A moment later, in the sight of passersby, two white-haired old men were wrestling like two children in front of the fortune-telling stall. One of them even bit the other's buttocks, while the other punched the other's lower back repeatedly.
The horrific scene caused passersby to avoid it.
...
On the other side, as Chu Qinghe and his group walked through the street, Qu Feiyan asked, "Young Master, what did you mean when you said that the old man in the corner was smoking a pipe for the first time?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "The old man sitting in the corner is not sick or in pain, but he coughs every time he smokes his pipe, which means he is not a regular smoker. The fortune teller, on the other hand, has yellow teeth and smells strongly of tobacco. Moreover, the two men's demeanor and clothing are completely inconsistent, so they are probably just swapping clothes for fun."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "The two old men are changing clothes and playing around in the middle of winter. They're acting like little kids."
After muttering to himself, Chu Qinghe looked at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue and asked, "Could you sense the fluctuations in their cultivation just now?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue cast questioning glances at him.
Seeing the two women's reactions, Chu Qinghe immediately understood the situation.
"Heh! This is interesting. Even the two of you can't sense the problem, which means that the cultivation levels of those two old people are actually above yours?"
Dongfang Bubai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "The old man's cough sounded wrong. At his age, a cough shouldn't sound like that, unless he's skilled in martial arts."
The human body is amazing. At different ages, even the most ordinary behavior, like coughing, will have some different characteristics.
With Chu Qinghe's medical skills, he could naturally discern many things from certain details.
The old man in the corner was probably in his seventies or eighties. When he was choked by the tobacco, his cough must have been accompanied by some rattling sounds, and there was also a faint hoarseness in his chest.
But when the old man coughed, his voice was deep and resonant, sounding more like that of a strong young man.
Naturally, Chu Qinghe also noticed something amiss.
After Chu Qinghe explained these differences, the four of them suddenly understood, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Qu Feiyan analyzed, "Even with the strength and cultivation of Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue, they couldn't detect anything unusual. That means that the cultivation of those two old people was at least at the late Grandmaster level?"
However, as soon as Qu Feiyan finished speaking, Yaoyue shook her head and said, "If you want me to be completely unaware of anything unusual, it can only be someone at the Grandmaster level or above."
It was just an explanation, but it was delivered with an air of arrogance.
Although Dongfang Bubai did not speak, it was clear that he shared the same thoughts as Yaoyue.
A few breaths later, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Young Master, you know that those two old men are very powerful, so why do you still dare to mess with them?"
Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "What's there to be afraid of? With their strength and cultivation, if they had any bad intentions, they would have already made their move."
Then, Chu Qinghe changed the subject, saying, "Besides, those two old men are so powerful, it's rare to find a master they can tease for free. Wouldn't it be a waste not to tease them?"
The girls were speechless upon seeing this.
Qu Feiyan spoke up, "Since those two old men are experts, is it true that the old man who told the fortune of the young master said that the young master has a strong luck in bringing prosperity to his wife?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you go back and ask him again?"
