Outside the huge library, only the rustling sound of sweeping could be heard.
...
On the other side.
After descending from the foot of Fahua Peak, the breath-concealing powder that Chu Qinghe had given them earlier lost its effect.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe then withdrew his true energy and slowed his movements.
Noticing Chu Qinghe's actions, the other women also stopped.
As they walked together toward the place where the carriages were stored at the foot of Zhongshan Peak, Lianxing sighed and said, "After all that trouble, it turns out the people in the Northern Shaolin Temple don't know the situation either. It's all for nothing."
Shuimu Yinji looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Do you think what that person just said was true or false?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"ah?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's answer, Lianxing and the other girls stared at him in astonishment.
In response, Chu Qinghe said in a calm and lazy tone: "If you can't see the person and can't tell their reaction from their tone of voice and expression, you can't distinguish between truth and falsehood in many things."
Chu Qinghe had never met the guy who was at the peak of the Human Realm with whom he had spoken before, let alone knew him.
If you can meet and talk to them, you can also discern their psychology from their expressions and subtle details.
But when I was talking to that guy who was at the peak of the Celestial Realm, we were dozens of feet apart. How could I possibly observe his reaction and deduce his thoughts?
Naturally, Chu Qinghe had no way of knowing whether what that person had said was true or false.
However, Chu Qinghe was not surprised by this situation.
Since we're all unfamiliar with each other, it's normal that we can't tell the difference between what's real and what's fake.
Seeing that Chu Qinghe showed no disappointment whatsoever, the girls were all puzzled.
Seeing that Chu Qinghe did not continue to explain, the women did not press him further.
Then, Qu Feiyan asked, "Shall we set off for Zhongnan Mountain now?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said casually, "The plan has changed, and we can't leave for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan, who was outside the carriage, immediately poked her head in.
"Young master, do you mean you're planning to join in the fun on the fifteenth?"
Chu Qinghe nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Upon receiving confirmation from Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up.
But then, Qu Feiyan, who had just come to her senses, asked with a suspicious look, "Why did you change your mind, young master?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "You'll understand in a few days."
Seeing that Chu Qinghe was keeping her in suspense, Qu Feiyan pouted and then shrank back.
However, along the way, the girl's interest was clearly much higher, and she kept chatting with Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao.
In contrast, Chu Qinghe slowly lay down, placed the little one on his stomach, and gently closed his eyes.
While Chu Qinghe closed his eyes and pondered something, Lianxing's starry eyes remained fixed on him.
In the past, when Lianxing rode in the same carriage with Chu Qinghe and Shuimu Yinji, she was worried about being discovered, and she had to sneak around even when admiring Chu Qinghe along the way.
But things are different now.
After speaking frankly with the Water Mother Yin Ji, Lian Xing stared directly at Chu Qing He with no attempt to conceal her true feelings.
Opposite Lianxing, seeing how engrossed Lianxing was in gazing at Chu Qinghe, Shuimu Yinji wore a sweet smile that made one unconsciously want to get closer to her.
Now, after some mental calculations, Yaoyue is considered a greater threat to Shuimu Yinji than Dongfang Bubai.
Therefore, for Jellyfish Yin Ji, the significance of being able to place one of her own people next to Yao Yue, who poses the greatest threat, is self-evident.
From now on, all she needs to do is go through Lianxing to learn about Yaoyue's plans.
She could even secretly encourage Lianxing to whisper in Yaoyue's ear, so that Yaoyue's gaze would always be on Dongfang Bubai and she would gradually ignore herself.
Thinking deeply, Jellyfish Yin Ji chuckled to herself.
"The advantage is in our hands, so we're confident from here on out."
.........
By the time the group returned to Yanzhou City, it was already late afternoon.
Compared to the long days and short nights of summer, the sky was already beginning to darken at this hour.
Even the sun in the sky seemed to wilt.
After the group parked the carriage back inside the inn, Chu Qinghe did not take the women back to the courtyard they had rented at the inn. Instead, they strolled around Yanzhou City.
Faced with Chu Qinghe's actions, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter, "He doesn't disguise himself, nor does he hide his identity. Instead, he's been wandering around Yanzhou City on his own initiative since he came back. It feels like the young master is up to something."
Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "I think so too."
Although Lin Shiyin didn't speak, the smile on her face showed that she shared the same thoughts as the two women.
Only Wang Yuyan looked puzzled.
Hearing the voices of the women behind her, Shui Mu Yin Ji looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "You said before that the Great Yuan Kingdom is waiting for you to leave Yanzhou City so that they can deal with Shaolin with peace of mind. Now you have come back on your own initiative and are openly strolling around Yanzhou City. Aren't you worried that they will come looking for you?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It's inevitable that they would come to us on their own initiative. After all, at such a critical juncture, with an uncertain factor like me around, anyone would feel uneasy. But it's also a good opportunity to ask Meng Chixing and verify whether what that person in the Northern Shaolin Temple said today is true or false."
