Bai Yujing stayed in the study. He rarely smoked, but he actually lit a cigarette and started smoking.
He was waiting for news about Ye Qiu's murder.
"Boom!"
There was a knock on the door, followed by the butler's voice: "Master, are you asleep?"
"Come in!" Bai Yujing perked up, with excitement on his brows.
He knew that the housekeeper must have come with news.
Soon, the door opened and the housekeeper walked in quickly, and a pungent smell of smoke hit his nostrils.
"Master, you'd better smoke less, it's not good for your health." The housekeeper said with concern.
Bai Yujing put out the cigarette butt, and then asked: "How is the situation? Is Ye Qiu dead?"
The butler was silent and did not answer.
"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" Bai Yujing was a little impatient.
The butler then said: "Master, Ye Qiu is not dead."
"Not dead?" Bai Yujing couldn't believe it, "This is impossible! Lengxue is the world's number one killer, and there is no doubt about his strength."
"The two ghosts in Tianchi are not weak at all. When they competed for the Dragon Ranking, they were defeated by Tai Chi master Chen Daoling by half a move."
"The three of them joined forces. Not to mention Ye Qiu, even the top five masters on the Dragon Ranking could only be killed. How could they not die?"
The housekeeper said: "In fact, Ye Qiu is really not dead."
Bai Yujing took out another cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me."
The housekeeper said: "I don't know the specific situation. I only know that Lengxue and Tianchi have been killed."
"What?"
Bai Yujing's expression changed completely and asked, "Did Ye Qiu kill them?"
"I don't know." The housekeeper said, "I suspect that someone is supporting Ye Qiu, but according to the spies' report, there were only Tang Fei and Long Ye in the car, and no one else."
"There is another possibility."
The housekeeper glanced at Bai Yujing and continued: "Ye Qiu's strength has greatly increased, and he killed three of Lengxue and the others by himself."
"This is impossible." Bai Yujing said: "I know Ye Qiu's details very well. His strength is only comparable to that of a Dragon Ranking master. Once he meets a real Dragon Ranking master, he will only die."
"According to what the young master said, someone is helping Ye Qiu," the housekeeper said.
"Who could be helping Ye Qiu?" Bai Yujing frowned and said, "Could it be someone from Cao Yuan?"
"It shouldn't be from Cao Yuan. I've confirmed it over there in Yangcheng. Qinglong and Qilin are guarding Cao Yuan." The steward said, "Could it be the Changmei Master from Longhu Mountain?"
Bai Yujing shook his head: "It can't be Changmei. I got the exact news that Changmei hasn't left isolation yet."
Who could it be?
There was a long silence in the study room.
The housekeeper glanced at Bai Yujing and hesitated to speak.
Bai Yujing keenly saw the steward's micro-expression and asked, "Just say what you want to say!"
The housekeeper said: "Master, Cao Yuan has mobilized the underground forces in the fourteen provinces in the north, totaling one hundred thousand people. These people have been waiting on Ye Qiu's way to Beijing to protect Ye Qiu."
"When did it happen? Why did you tell me now?" Bai Yujing's face was not only shocked, but also full of murderous intent.
"I just got the news too," the steward said.
Snapped!
Bai Yujing slapped the table, pointed at the butler and cursed angrily, "What do you do for food?"
"Cao Yuan mobilized underground forces in fourteen provinces in the north, totaling 100,000 people. You only know about such a big thing now. Are you a loser?"
The housekeeper lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."
"Is that all it takes to say sorry?"
"Do you know how serious this matter is?"
"If Ye Qiu doesn't die, it will affect my alliance with the Pei family, and it may also affect my plan to conquer the world."
Bai Yujing continued to curse: "Raising troops for a thousand days, using them for a while, who knows, at the critical moment you will turn into a waste, what use do I need you for?"
When the housekeeper heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy: "Master, I'm sorry, I didn't handle the matter well, please give me a chance!"
Bai Yujing stared at the housekeeper with cold eyes. After half a minute, he sighed.
"That's all, it's over now, there's no point in blaming you."
"I should have thought of it a long time ago. Cao Yuan is good at making plans and does everything before planning. If he didn't send Qinglong and Qilin to support Ye Qiu, he should have left other backup forces behind."
"I didn't expect that for one Ye Qiu, he would mobilize 100,000 Longmen disciples. It seems that I underestimated Ye Qiu's importance in Cao Yuan's heart."
"Get up!"
The butler then stood up from the ground and said gratefully: "Thank you, young master."
"Do you have anything else to report? If not, just go out!" Bai Yujing was in a bad mood.
"Master, there is another situation." The steward said: "After the saber, Ye Qiu was attacked by a killer again."
"The pair of killers are Shura and Rakshasa, who are famous in the world's killer rankings."
"They were not sent by me."
oh?
Bai Yujing was a little surprised and asked: "In other words, besides us, there are still people who want to kill Ye Qiu?"
The housekeeper nodded: "It should be like this."
"Who could it be?" Bai Yujing squinted his eyes and thought quickly in his mind.
He had investigated Ye Qiu's information and found that Ye Qiu had basically eliminated all of Ye Qiu's enemies. In the end, there were only three possibilities left.
The first possibility is that the Witch God Sect wants to kill Ye Qiu.
The second possibility is that Emperor Xiao Qing wanted revenge.
The third possibility is that the Pei family took action.
Bai Yujing quickly ruled out the first possibility, because with the way the Witch God Sect operates, if they want to kill Ye Qiu, they will most likely do it themselves. After all, there are many masters in the Witch God Sect.
Then, there are only the latter two possibilities left.
"Did the Pei family take action, or was it Emperor Xiao Qing?" Bai Yujing thought for a while and asked, "Where is Ye Qiu?"
The housekeeper replied: "He has arrived in Taiyuan. According to their driving schedule, he will arrive in the capital tomorrow night."
Bai Yujing ordered: "Let all our people withdraw!"
The housekeeper thought he heard wrongly and looked at Bai Yujing in astonishment: "Master, what are you..."
"There are one hundred thousand Longmen disciples escorting Ye Qiu. It is no longer realistic to kill Ye Qiu on the road. If our people don't withdraw, they will all die in the hands of Ye Qiu and the Longmen disciples." Bai Yujing ordered: "
Let Ye Qiu go to Beijing!"
"But Master, once Ye Qiu comes to Beijing, something may happen." The butler reminded.
"I know everything you said." Bai Yujing said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
"I will never let a little Ye Qiu ruin our alliance with the Pei family."
"The moment Ye Qiu arrives in the capital, it will be his death!"
