Facing the gazes of the three people, Lou Fuyue cleared his throat and calmly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, he was just a former partner."

"Oh~~~"

Chao Zhao's eyes were meaningful. The next moment, she suddenly thought that her second senior brother had always been acting as Madam Huaiyue when he was outside. Doesn't that mean...

"Big Brother!"

Chao Zhao turned around hurriedly to confirm, "Did something happen at that time?"

Second Brother's bad luck in love has come to him so soon? !

"Yeah." Wen Qingyan said something that shocked Chao Zhao with a calm face, "That man grabbed Junior Brother, and the two of them struggled for a while."

"and many more."

Lou Fuyue interrupted him with a dark face, "Big Brother, don't forget that it was you who ignored my look for help. I am only in the early stage of the Golden Core, while Huo Qingfeng is a powerful spirit-transforming being!"

The symptoms of Lou Fuyue's cultivation regression were still continuing, so he was unable to break free from Huo Qingfeng's restraints at that time.

Unfortunately, Wen Qingyan just stood aside with an unfathomable expression, as if thinking about something, and remained indifferent no matter how Lou Fuyue tried to signal him with her eyes.

Chao Zhao was shocked: "You said you were not a rotten, old lover! He could recognize you!"

When Lou Fuyue disguised herself as Madam Huaiyue, her facial features were softer and more beautiful, mixed with her natural charm and beauty. No one would guess the true gender under that appearance.

But Lou Fuyue's true appearance is gorgeous but also sharp, like a delicate poisonous flower growing out of a thorn bush, with thorns and poison.

Although there are similarities between the two, unless someone is extremely familiar with them, they would not be connected.

Facing Lou Fuyue's questioning, Wen Qingyan was silent for a moment before speaking: "I'm sorry, Junior Brother, I'm only in the late Jindan stage."

Lou Fuyue and Rong Jizhi glanced over instantly.

This time, even without communicating through spiritual consciousness, one could guess the eye contact between the three of them - the eldest brother was actually pretending?

"Yes, yes! The eldest brother is just a poor man with a lot of debts. Why blame the second brother for attracting bad luck in love?"

Chao Zhao subconsciously spoke up for Wen Qingyan.

But after blurting it out, he suddenly realized...that's not right, the eldest senior brother is more than just in the late Jindan stage!

On the one hand, he was shocked that the senior brother could lie without blinking an eye, and on the other hand, he was indignant that he had become stupider.

Chao Zhao's cheeks puffed up, and he began to blame others angrily: "It's all because of Second Senior Brother's bad luck in love!"

"...well, blame him."

Lou Fuyue sighed, "Let's not talk about this person. He won't come to us anyway. But the Huo family sent him, which means they do have an important purpose this time."

Thinking of this, a dangerous flame gradually lit up in his silent eyes, burning as if it couldn't wait to set the whole field on fire.

If the master hadn't stopped him...he would have known the purpose and plan of that group of people from Zhongzhou before they came.

"Who is this person?"

Chao Zhao pouted, feeling sad that her second senior brother's innocence was almost lost, but at the same time she wanted to eat more melons.

Lou Fuyue: "He is the third oldest in the Huo family, Huo Aoran's uncle, and one of the most powerful gods in the Huo family."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chao Zhao.

When he noticed that she was in a bad mood and looked at him with a look that was both sighing and resentful, he instantly guessed what she was thinking.

"Junior sister, we have only worked together a few times."

Lou Fuyue raised his fingers and rubbed his brows, thinking of what Chao Zhao had told him in Yujing before, and said with a headache, "Don't worry, I will uphold the moral principles of a man."

"I know, Second Brother is very good."

Chao Zhao clenched his hand into a fist, "It's all Huo Qingfeng's fault for being worse than a beast. He actually tried to force himself on me. That's too much!"

"......Wait."

Lou Fuyue listened to her increasingly outrageous words in confusion. Did Junior Sister really know?

Chao Zhao couldn't stop talking any more. She was filled with righteous indignation and spoke passionately: "Brother, don't worry. Things change over time. The day when Chao Aotian's fortunes fade away will be his unlucky day!"

"........."

Lou Fuyue’s eyes went dark and she almost fell backwards unable to control her trembling body.

In the end, he relied on his strong willpower to stretch out his hand tremblingly and stop Chao Zhao from climbing onto the table to make an inspiring statement.

"Don't settle down yet..."

"Calm down, Junior Sister."

Rong Jizhi quickly stuffed a piece of cake into Chao Zhao's mouth, successfully blocking her mouth. He glanced at Lou Fuyue who was still shaking with anger, and hid the gloating in his eyes.

The boomerang of rumors that had previously spread about him finally landed on the second brother.

Seeing Chao Zhao biting the cakes one bite at a time like a little hamster, Rong Jizhi smiled and coaxed her: "Little Junior Sister, don't worry about those Zhongzhou people. This is something that Jianhua Xianzong should be concerned about."

"what?"

Chao Zhao choked for a moment, then said weakly, "It's already happened, what should I do?"

If her guess was correct, Jiang Xueji must have been investigating her everywhere after she got angry with her yesterday.

As soon as she finished speaking, her three senior brothers looked over attentively.

Lou Fuyue suppressed the emotions that had been exposed before, and her eyes were gloomy: "Who is so blind?"

"It seems her name is... Jiang Xueji?"

Chao Zhao couldn't help but yawn when he mentioned this woman. "She brought a group of people to the underground gambling house last night to ask Tong Xiaosheng for information about the sect exchange conference."

"You sneaked out last night?"

"Underground gambling house?"

Rong Jizhi and Wen Qingyan spoke one after another.

Rong Jizhi was still in a coma last night, so he naturally couldn't sense that Chao Zhao had slipped away, while Wen Qingyan was obviously more concerned about the following point.

"......Uh-huh."

Chao Zhao, who was originally very arrogant, gradually shrank into a ball with guilt under the questioning gazes of his three senior brothers.

"I don't blame you, stop shrinking."

Lou Fuyue tapped her forehead helplessly, and the non-existent anger in his heart had long since disappeared.

"So they really came here for the sect exchange conference this time, and they even sent their own people in as well."

There was a gleam in Lou Fuyue's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling a little itchy. He didn't like this kind of negligence that made it impossible to control the overall situation.

He was really curious about Zhongzhou's purpose.

"Fu Yue."

Perhaps it was because Lou Fuyue’s mental fluctuations were too obvious, but Ji Wushe woke up slowly in the rocking chair, and looked at him deeply and sharply through the strands of hair on his forehead.

“…Master.”

Lou Fuyue's expression was slightly stern, and he put away all his thoughts.

Chao Zhao: "Master is awake!"

"Ah."

Ji Wushe stood up from the rocking chair, bent one leg, and casually placed his arm on it. "The affairs of Zhongzhou have nothing to do with you. Jianhua Immortal Sect will handle it."

After saying that, he caught a glimpse of Chao Zhao's sparkling eyes, paused, and looked somewhat compromised, "...If they bump into us, don't be soft-hearted."

"Yes, Master."

The four disciples agreed one by one.

In the end, Ji Wushe left Lou Fuyue behind, Rong Jizhi went back to the house to rest, and Wen Qingyan went down the mountain to forge iron.

Chao Zhao, who was left alone, was like a wild child without any parental restraint. He ran away to play as soon as he left the house.

Seeing this, Lou Fuyue withdrew his gaze.

"...Master, rest assured. Without your permission, I will not touch the secret agents in Zhongzhou. Huo Qingfeng's incident was just an accident."

"That's not what I want to talk about."

Ji Wushe had already woken up, his fingertips tapped the table, and his cold voice slowly rang out, "The 'existence' that Jizhi encountered in the secret realm makes me feel a little uneasy."

"Master?"

Lou Fuyue was shocked.

This was the first time in nearly three hundred years that he heard the word "uneasy" from Ji Wushe's mouth. Even during the most difficult period when his sword heart was broken, he had never said this.

Ji Wushe did not explain, but just said: "The timing of Zhongzhou's visit is indeed a coincidence. If you want to investigate, go ahead and protect yourself."

"...Yes, thank you, Master."
