Late at night, Qin Kou'er slept very restlessly.
One moment she dreamt of countless wronged souls of the Qin family crying out for justice, making her want to cry out loud but unable to; the next moment she dreamt of Hu Tianyong showing her a sinister smile.
Qin Kou'er tossed and turned in bed, her forehead already covered in sweat.
Finally, a sound like a rope snapping suddenly rang in her ears, startling her so much that she sat up abruptly.
At the same time, a white shadow seemed to flash outside the window.
"who?"
Qin Kou'er turned her head instantly and then nimbly got off the ground.
A soft fighting sound came from outside, and soon a woman exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Kou'er immediately recognized that it was Qu Feng'er's voice.
"Wind!"
Qin Kou'er leaped out of the window in one swift motion.
Qu Feng'er was standing face to face with someone, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing.
Qin Kou'er only glanced at it before immediately recognizing it as Nightingale, who was lurking beside Lan Xiuyuan.
Nightingale stared coldly at the astonished Qu Feng'er in front of her, her face as cold as ice.
"You, how did you get back?"
Qu Feng'er was incredulous to be facing her old friend whom she hadn't seen for many years.
Nightingale looked down at her clothes, which had been torn by Qu Feng'er, and her face instantly filled with a variety of expressions, all of which were related to that small tear.
"You shameless old hag! It's been so many years, why are you tearing my clothes right away? You pervert! Shameless!"
When Qu Feng'er heard Nightingale scolding someone, she was not angry at all, but instead laughed immediately.
Yes, it's still that same frivolous young man with his teeth showing, whose icy demeanor can't hide his goofy personality.
Qin Kou'er, however, had no intention of joking at all.
He gave Nightingale a gloomy look and waved his hand at him: "Let's go inside and talk!"
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.
She casually threw on a piece of clothing, but instead of lighting the candle, Qin Kou'er walked to the gap in the moonlight and sat down, coldly watching the nightingale.
"What happened? Why are you looking for me so late!"
Qin Kou'er knew that Nightingale would never come to her at this time unless it was something urgent.
As expected, Nightingale's expression turned serious. Standing in the darkness, she said in a deep voice, "The Northerners have appeared. Lan Xiuyuan has made some unusual moves!"
Qin Kou'er's eyes lit up for a moment in the darkness, but then instantly disappeared back into darkness.
Is the information accurate?
"Absolutely accurate!"
Qin Kou'er paused for a moment, then continued, "Has Lan Xiuyuan made any unusual moves? Do we already know?"
Nightingale shook her head. "Our current information is that Lan Xiuyuan has already made contact with those Northerners. Moreover, several of them have even reached Lan Xiuyuan's side, making it very difficult for others to get close to him now!"
Qin Kou'er frowned slightly, but she was hidden in the darkness and no one could see it.
"Is he excluded now as well?"
Nightingale immediately shook her head. "He didn't! It's just that Lan Xiuyuan has now completely followed the Northerners' demands and isolated all his close relatives from everyone else! Our communications may be very difficult in the future! Moreover, this is the last time I'm here to deliver a message. If the Northerners find out, the consequences will be severe!"
Qin Kou'er nodded and slowly said, "What instructions did he give during this critical period?"
"He asked me to tell the Pavilion Master that Lan Xiuyuan will definitely rebel within three days! Please be careful, Pavilion Master! Moreover, it is best to strike first!"
After listening, Qin Kou'er's eyes slowly narrowed.
Strike first? How do you strike first? Those northerners are unpredictable and mysterious. If she acts rashly and misses, leaving behind future troubles, how will she deal with the consequences?
However, Qin Kou'er kept all of these things to herself.
Looking at the nightingale, Qin Kou'er smiled faintly: "Alright! I know everything! Go back now! Tell the master that I know what to do!"
Nightingale nodded to Qin Kou'er, then glared fiercely at Qu Feng'er before drifting away.
In an instant, only Qu Feng'er and Qin Kou'er remained in the room, and the thick darkness seemed to grow even heavier.
Qu Feng'er turned her head and looked quietly at Qin Kou'er, "Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
Qin Kou'er glanced lightly at the handrail beside her with her finger, but did not speak.
Yes, what do we do now?
Qu Feng'er waited a while longer before continuing indifferently, "Should we inform the Grand Steward?"
Qin Kou'er immediately shook her head, "There's no point in talking about this now! It's just a matter of Ping Zeng's suspicion and fear!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er stood up, walked to the window, and quietly gazed at the bright moon in the sky, falling into deep thought for a moment.
How did these people from the North come to be?
Lan Xiuyuan had not had any contact with Hu Tianyong after the incident, yet he was able to find so many people who couldn't find him so easily. This was really too strange.
Based on the information he had received about Lan Xiuyuan over the past two days, even if Lan Xiuyuan wasn't dead, he was practically a living dead. How could he possibly find these long-hidden weapons in such chaotic circumstances?
If it wasn't Lan Xiuyuan who went to find him, then it must have been these people from the North who sought him out.
Qin Kou'er is making a bold guess!
All of this must have been arranged by Hu Tianyong before his death! Otherwise, these things would never have surfaced so soon after his death!
