Making It Clear (part 2)
Shui Miao’er’s expression cooled down, and a frosty chill swept across the face of this woman in the martial arts world.
“His name is…Zhong Hua.”
A shocking statement!
The other three people were shocked and changed color at the same time.
Bai Hua, Zhong Hua… if it’s a coincidence, where in the world is such a coincidence!?
Xu Fangchuan was a bit unresponsive, unconsciously touching his sword, and said blankly, “What does this mean, could it be that Bai Hua is… the son of the old sect leader of the Wuxian Sect? A sect heir, running to the Central Plains to spy on the Jiuzhong Palace!?”
“And also… willing to be submissive, to please others.”
Chu Yan slowly squinted his eyes, his words were full of murderous intent, but his mind was very rational, “Eighty percent is not forced, if not willing, it can’t be done to that extent.”
Among the people present, only he and Mo Ren knew that Bai Hua’s undercover was not just for three years, but also for the next seven years until the destruction of the Jiuzhong Palace… a total of ten years!
Bai Hua’s charming eyebrows, that weak voice, and that enticing but dangerous fragrance flashed in his mind. What can make a person, a person who should be born noble, make such a big sacrifice and go to such an extent?
To restore the sect, but if so, why only target the Jiuzhong Palace?
“This little girl also secretly observed the reaction of Young Master Bai Hua. He is a smart person who can pretend to be weak and pitiful, but… his relationship with the black-clothed man following Qi Qian seems to be not ordinary.”
Shui Miao’er suddenly looked at Xu Fangchuan and said, “Young Hero Xu, that black-clothed man did use the Xuyang Sword Technique, right?”
Xu Fangchuan’s brows were tightly furrowed, as if talking to himself, “It can’t be wrong, how could this happen…”
However, Chu Yan clicked his tongue, frowned and looked at this senior brother of the Xuyang Sect, and said, “What’s so strange about this?” He tapped the table with his index finger, “You think…isn’t your sect expelled disciples who violated the precepts? In that case, the leakage of your family’s sword moves is not something to be surprised about, right?”
Unexpectedly, Xu Fangchuan was shocked all over, and Chu Yan could even feel that his whole person became stiff.
“…..” Senior Brother Xu’s Adam’s apple moved, and he slowly turned his pale face, staring at Chu Yan and said with difficulty, “Palace Master Chu, as far as I know, in the past few decades, those who have been expelled from the sect…”
“…it was only the Senior Brother Yan Luo.”
Shui Miao’er exclaimed, “Is it him?” She hurriedly looked at Chu Yan, nodding her head as she looked, “Then… then it makes sense that he targeted the Jiuzhong Palace and the Xuyang Sword Sect.”
Xu Fangchuan was tense for a long time, and his shoulders suddenly slumped. He said in a low voice, “I really didn’t expect that the Senior Brother Yan from back then had gone down this evil path today…”
“Yan, Luo.”
Chu Yan pondered this name in his mouth, looked up in confusion, “…Who is it?”
…Xu and Shui both fell silent, their faces both full of “you really forget a lot when you’re a noble.”
“Cough, Master.” Mo Ren hurriedly leaned over quietly, “You forgot again, it was the time when you fought the Xuyang Sword Sect for me…”
Chu Yan: “…..”
The palace master was angry and ashamed, “What do this Master remember about that rotten kind of person!”
Xu and Shui both hurriedly held back their laughter and persuaded, Xu Fangchuan said, “Anyway, today we startled the snake in the grass on the high platform, they will inevitably make a move, we…”
Chu Yan took over the conversation, a cold light hidden in his eyes, “We just need to wait for the rabbit, first capture Bai Hua, Yan Luo, and Qi Qian, then pull down the Alliance Leader Mansion that communicates with the enemy…”
As he was speaking, his killing intent rose, and he was about to say something like “finally gather the Central Plains martial artists to enter the south, and kill the Wuxian Sect to our heart’s content”, but when the words reached his mouth, something suddenly caught in his throat.
It was as if a light arrow flew by, tearing his heart and lungs in an instant. He thought of the black-clothed guard beside him, the person who hadn’t had a good day by his side in two lifetimes…
If this is the start of the war, what about the peaceful and happy days he promised to Ah Ren, where he can finally be properly loved and cherished?
How much longer does he want Ah Ren to wait… Life is unpredictable, the martial arts world is dangerous, following such a fierce master, can Ah Ren really wait?
Chu Yan’s lips moved, wanting to let his hatred ignite the flames of war, but for a moment he hesitated.
As soon as his voice stopped, Xu Fangchuan on the other end had already picked up the conversation, “This matter is considered resolved.”
Shui Miao’er also let out a sigh of relief, and said after tidying up her hair, “Finally the fog has cleared, the two elders of my Shuijing Tower can also rest in peace.”
Only Mo Ren realized something, and called him worriedly, “Master?”
Chu Yan pinched his palm, forced himself to calm down, and smiled at the guard, “It’s okay… it’s okay, this Master was just absent-minded.”
Seeing Chu Yan’s melancholic expression, Shui Miao’er assumed that he was upset because he had been deceived by his own lover.
She thought about it, and indeed it was quite frustrating, so she couldn’t help but sympathize with Chu Yan. She picked up the teapot and cup from the side, smiled, and said, “Thanks to the Palace Master for this success, this little girl would like to toast the Palace Master with tea instead of wine.”
She blinked and said, “Palace Master, you can also relax. Once this matter is resolved, won’t you be able to go back and live a good life with Guard Mo?”
Over these days, they had become quite familiar with each other. Shui Miao’er spoke without much hesitation, and handed Chu Yan a cup of tea with a smile, “If this little girl has to say, Guard Mo is handsome, highly skilled, takes care of people, and is devoted to the Palace Master. Even if he becomes the Palace Master’s wife, he won’t be worse than Bai Hua. Such a good person, the Palace Master must take good care of him when he goes back.”
…To be honest, she just wanted to tease this young palace master and see what his reaction would be when his feelings were pointed out.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yan hadn’t reacted yet, and when he heard the last few sentences, his face changed!
He was flustered and stood up abruptly, waving his long sleeves, and scold angrily, “You! You… what nonsense are you talking about!!”
However, at the same time, the black-clothed guard next to him slightly frowned and said in a deep voice.
“How can the master of the Shuijing Tower say such a thing? The rules of the Jiuzhong Palace are clear about respect and inferiority, no matter when…..even when it comes to private matters in bed, it should be Mo Ren who takes care of the Palace Master.”
“...…”
Suddenly, the whole scene fell into a strange silence.
Xu Fangchuan was dumbfounded, his gaze spinning between the three people who were speaking.
But soon he found out…..that the expressions on the faces of these three people were all uniformly shocked.
What’s even more incredible was the sense of chaos that couldn’t figure out the situation very clearly, as if carved out of the same mold.
Chu Yan: “…?”
Mo Ren: “…?”
Shui Miao’er: “???”
So in the end, Xu Fangchuan’s expression twisted for a long time, and he resignedly became: “…???”
What…what is going on here???
