Chapter 446 The heavens over the land of Kyushu have long since changed.
Unlike the brightly lit courtyard of Chu Qinghe, the courtyard opposite Chu Qinghe was only lit by a few lanterns, as it housed only two martial artists at the Celestial Realm, Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa.
At this moment, Sun Baifa was silently smoking his pipe in the courtyard, the pungent and slightly spicy smell spreading and filling the courtyard.
After a while, looking at Bai Xiaosheng fiddling with Go pieces in front of him, Sun Baifa said irritably, "Alright, stop with this stuff. With your Go skills, you can't even win a game against that little fox for two days straight. What are you pretending to be so profound for? Are you trying to make me laugh?"
Upon hearing Sun Baifa's words, Bai Xiaosheng's hand holding the chess piece froze for a moment.
After glancing at Sun Baifa with slight displeasure, Bai Xiaosheng tossed the chess piece he was holding back into the chess box.
Seeing this, Sun Baifa said, "Are you now planning to tie Baixiaoge to that little fox?"
In response to Sun Baifa's question, Bai Xiaosheng said calmly, "You also heard the conversation between that person from the Great Xia Dynasty and Friend Chu today. Facts have proved that if Friend Chu helps Bai Xiaoge, it can guarantee Bai Xiaoge's survival for the next hundred or even several hundred years."
Do you think I have any reason to refuse?
Sun Bai asked, "Are you sure what that person from the Great Xia Dynasty said today is true?"
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."
After a few moments of contemplation, Sun Baifa spoke up: "So, you're saying that the world was about to change in those four small prefectures a few years ago?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, about eight breaths later, a system notification popped up in front of Chu Xiaoyou.
Upon seeing Chu Xiaoyou pull a ball of water from the well in the courtyard using his spiritual energy, Da Zhao immediately understood.
Looking back on the past eight years, even Chu Xiaoyou felt a pang of nostalgia for how quickly time had passed.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xiaosheng immediately added, "But it's enough that you, young friend Chu, are certain."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the low-grade Dao-rank palm technique, "Flying Waterfall Palm."]
Although Chu Qinghe and Da Zhao had not yet grown into stunning beauties, their personalities made the younger Chu Qinghe appear more lively and stiff, while Da Zhao was more quiet and obedient.
Sun Baifa stared at Baiyin Ji in astonishment and said, "He suspects this big fox that much? Is he worried that today's events were a setup deliberately orchestrated by this big fox?"
[Ding, the host has not accumulated a full year before the next annual sign-in period, meeting the requirements for an annual sign-in. Would you like to revert to regular sign-in?]
The Xia Dynasty will once again become a source of worry for Chu Xiaoyou.
I also felt less wistful.
Inside the main house.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a valuable item—Phoenix Essence Liquid*1 bottle.]
Therefore, it was indeed unnecessary for Chu Xiaoyou to go through so many roundabout ways to deceive the seven of us.
Just as Baiyin Ji said, both of them were unclear about Chu Xiaoyou's cultivation level and strength.
He patted Da Zhao on the shoulder, signaling him to come forward. Da Zhao immediately stood up obediently and moved the stool away.
Similarly, he returned to Chu Xiaoyou's home on the seventh day after leaving home.
Chu Xiaoyou had no idea that he had obtained that ethereal character card that time.
According to what Young Friend Chu just checked, those two cultivation upgrade cards did not have any restrictions on cultivation level.
After a while, as the fluctuations of true essence and the power of heaven and earth within Chu Xiaoyou's body subsided, a system notification popped up.
With so much information piled up, how could Baiyin Ji possibly be vague about the current situation in the four small states?
Add to that Chu's own shrewdness and methods.
For Chu Xiaoyou now, with the sword techniques of eight low-grade Dao-level martial arts such as "Ten Thousand Swords Across the World", "Extreme Sword Technique" and "Ethereal Sword Technique", combined with Cao Linyun's own seventh level of swordsmanship, Chu Xiaoyou's demand for martial arts has become extremely high.
In addition, the system not only punished the user with a bottle of the purest Phoenix Essence Liquid from within the Phoenix's body, but also with the user's cultivation upgrade card.
Speaking of that, Baiyin Ji also recalled the scene when she first saw Chu Xiaoyou.
[Ding! Your current check-in is an annual check-in; it will be automatically upgraded to a regular check-in. Check-in beauty needs to be upgraded.]
Before each page was finished, the Jellyfish Flower Palace would pass that page of the manuscript to Lianxing, who was sitting next to her. Before Lianxing finished reading, she would use her inner energy to control the manuscript to fly to Chu Qinghe and the others who were lying side by side under Chu Xiaoyou's bed.
Looking at the name of his martial art, Chu Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows, feeling that the name of that martial art didn't match the low-grade Dao level.
Sometimes, raindrops would slide off the eaves and drip into the puddles in the yard, making a "drip-drip-drip" sound.
Inside the main room, Chu Xiaoyou, who had just finished writing his story, moved a chair to the bedside. Leaning back in the chair, he put his feet up under the windowsill, enjoying the light rain while sipping the still-warm wine in his cup. His expression seemed lazy, but his eyes were sparkling, with a hint of deep thought flashing through them.
Upon hearing Chu Xiaoyou's voice, Da Zhao, who was engrossed in reading a storybook under the bed, subconsciously responded. Then, reluctantly, she put down the manuscript, slipped on her shoes, and ran behind Chu Xiaoyou.
[The punishment has been automatically added to your system inventory. Please check and retrieve it yourself.]
At this moment, Sun Baifa's face still showed his usual nonchalance and unruliness, but instead he said with a look of melancholy: "That may be true, but this big fox is not only stupid but also almost demonic. If you, Bai Xiaosheng, had fallen into the hands of this big fox before, I'm afraid it would have been much more difficult for you to do anything in secret without being able to hide it from this big fox."
