Chu Qinghe replied, "That's part of the reason!"
After a slight pause, Chu Qinghe continued, "Of the three people on the mountaintop just now, apart from the one who fought against Monk Xuanjian at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, the other two did not join the Azure Dragon Society; they were merely cooperating with it."
The jellyfish-like Yin Ji, her thoughts racing, suddenly realized, "No wonder."
Qu Feiyan asked, puzzled, "Is there any difference between them?"
Seeing that Qu Feiyan and the other two women did not understand, Shuimu Yinji said, "Joining the Azure Dragon Society means that you will be driven by the Azure Dragon Society. If you want to cooperate, you will have to pay a price if you want people to do things."
After a pause, Jellyfish Yin Ji said, "If these three are all members of the Azure Dragon Society, then when facing the Southern Shaolin Temple this time, there is no need to deliberately put on a show to kill that monk Xuanjian, just like later. We can just have all three experts at the Celestial Realm attack together."
After the explanation from the Water Mother Yin Ji, Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao, and Lin Shiyin finally realized what was going on.
But then, Qu Feiyan asked, puzzled, "But how does this affect our decision to leave early?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "If these three people are all members of the Azure Dragon Society, then with the rules of the Azure Dragon Society and Bai Xiaosheng keeping them in check, there will naturally be no problem. However, if it is simply a matter of cooperation, then Bai Xiaosheng may not be able to keep these two people in check. In that case, it cannot be guaranteed whether these two people will behave themselves."
Humans are naturally curious.
The members of the Azure Dragon Society who attacked Shaolin this time all concealed their identities.
Under such circumstances, Chu Qinghe and his companions, who were merely watching the show and hadn't even worn the painted masks to conceal their identities, stood out rather conspicuously.
Who can guarantee that after the matter at Southern Shaolin is resolved, Ren Tianxing and the other expert at the Celestial Realm will not have any ulterior motives?
At that time, Chu Qinghe will inevitably have to perform a ritual to help the other party pass on, either to prevent future troubles or in self-defense.
If things have escalated to this point, it's clearly not a good thing.
With the monk Xuanjian already dead, the destruction of the Southern Shaolin Temple was practically a foregone conclusion, and there was no need for Chu Qinghe to continue watching.
After understanding why Chu Qinghe left midway, Qu Feiyan and the other women finally looked enlightened.
After a moment, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that a mid-stage Celestial Realm expert would die so easily."
It should be understood that experts at the Celestial Realm are figures that people would look up to, no matter where they are.
But now, on this Shaoshi Mountain, the group witnessed a Celestial Realm expert being killed.
And in this way.
How could Lin Shiyin not feel a pang of sadness in such a situation?
Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, said, "Yeah! I originally thought this time the Azure Dragon Society's annihilation of the Southern Shaolin Temple would be something special, but this is all?"
In Qu Feiyan's imagination, two top-tier forces like the Azure Dragon Society and the Southern Shaolin Temple, which also involve experts at the Celestial Realm, must be involved in some grand events.
But the result was that the Azure Dragon Society used poison and spies, and even Xuanjian's death was a trick, which was not as interesting as the six major sects besieging Bright Peak.
Throughout the entire process, even the combined exchange between Xuanjian and the man in black only lasted a few dozen moves.
Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Xiao Zhao added, "It felt like the fight between Xuan Jian and the black-clad man from the Azure Dragon Society on the mountaintop wasn't as big as the fight between Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue."
In response, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Don't talk like that without understanding the situation. If it comes to this point, and we still need to fight head-on and risk our lives, then the Azure Dragon Society has prepared for nothing all these years."
If it were Chu Qinghe, he might have used even more underhanded methods.
For example, some special slow-acting poisons were mixed into the incense used for offerings at the Southern Shaolin Temple.
Then, after the Southern Shaolin Temple lights the incense every day, the wind on the mountaintop will spread the poison far and wide, and then the entire Southern Shaolin Temple will be poisoned with it.
In the end, no action was even required.
Therefore, unless Bai Xiaosheng had his head caught in a door, someone as intelligent as him wouldn't do something so reckless.
Moreover, destroying the Southern Shaolin Temple was only the first step.
For the Azure Dragon Society, the next step is to preserve its strength to carry out its plans against the imperial court.
At this point, preserving their strength as much as possible is the most sensible choice for the Azure Dragon Society.
After finishing their discussion, Qu Feiyan asked Chu Qinghe, "Young Master, shall we head straight to the capital or perhaps do some sightseeing along the way?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Let's go straight to the capital! It's the imperial capital after all. We can spend a few days exploring it."
Upon seeing this, Qu Feiyan and the other women responded and then resumed driving the carriage.
It was just as the carriage started moving again that Chu Qinghe's gaze fell on the wooden box beside him.
Following Chu Qinghe's gaze to the wooden box beside her, Shuimu Yinji asked, "That person just said that the ribbons inside are for the passage into the palace to watch the battle in half a month. Does that mean that the palace will restrict the number of people who can watch the final battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng in half a month?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "After all, it's the imperial palace. It's not a place where just anyone can enter. Otherwise, what would become of our reputation?"
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe's gaze fell upon the wooden box, his eyes swirling with thoughts.
"It went more smoothly than I expected."
