In a garden in the Jiuhua Alliance.
A man in green was sitting on a stone chair in the pavilion.
The man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He had a calm temperament and was as gentle as jade. He sat upright and looked at the chess pieces on the stone table. He held a cup of fragrant tea and took a sip. He seemed to be puzzled and thinking about something.
Next to him was an old man in a gray robe. He bowed and lowered his head in silence.
The man was none other than Wei Qing. The old man was Elder Hui, who had followed him for many years.
Wei Qing did not like to drink. He liked fragrant tea and chess even more. He played Tai Chi chess, which was based on mysterious laws. It was also known as Heaven and Earth chess.
In the past, when he tasted tea, he could still taste the flavor of the tea. Although he could still taste it now, it was very faint.
In the past, when he played chess, he could still play Tai Chi. Although he could still do it now, it was very little.
All these changes came from his heart.
He could not calm down. Ever since he went to the Yunxia School, he had not been quiet. Instead, he became more and more confused. Sometimes, he could not even concentrate and his thoughts were always drifting.
"Sigh."
Wei Qing sighed and closed his eyes. He put down the teacup in his hand and asked faintly, "Who came to see me earlier?"
Old Hui, who was standing with his back bowed, replied truthfully, "The people from the Murong family, Murong Fei's brothers have all come. This old servant has already warned them according to Young Master's orders, but … they didn't take it to heart and have been looking for Sir Scarlet Flame these days."
"Warning them is enough." Wei Qing took a deep breath and shook his head slightly. He said, "Whether they listen or not is their business. I have already repaid the favor I owe Elder Murong."
"If Elder Murong does not come out of seclusion, I'm afraid that his descendants will …"
"Playing with fire is not scary. What is scary is that some people do not even know that they are playing with fire." Wei Qing reached out and picked up a black chess piece. He said, "They think that the Jiuhua Alliance is the entire world, but that is only their own opinion. They are all frogs at the bottom of the well. They do not know that the world is beyond heaven and beyond. That person's existence is beyond the Jiuhua Alliance and this world …"
As for who Gu Qingfeng was …
Hui Lao had already asked this question many times. He also clearly knew that the young master did not know the answer to this question.
"Young Master, do you think he … has something to do with us?"
Wei Qing shook his head. He also wanted to know the answer to this question.
"If he really has something to do with us, what should we do? The plan for Her Majesty's awakening … "
What to do?
Wei Qing shook his head again. He also wanted to know the answer to this question, but unfortunately, he didn't know either.
Sigh.
Hui Lao sighed as well. After that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Two days from now, the Scarlet Void Villa will be holding an auction. Moreover, the item being auctioned is precisely the Lunar Seed of the Eye of the Cave. Young Master, didn't you investigate it? Do you know who is auctioning it? "
Wei Qing pinched the black chess piece in his hand and put it back into the chessboard. Then, he picked it up again and shook his head helplessly and worriedly. He said, "I went to investigate, but unfortunately, there was no result. I only know that it was auctioned by a woman. I don't know who the other party is, but I guess it should be someone from Red Head."
"You don't know either?" Hui Lao raised his head with a worried expression. He said, "Right now, there are seven Soul Pearls. Leng Yanqiu has one, Childe Chiyan has one, Jiuhua Alliance has one, and Miss Liu also has one. As you said, Red Head might also have one, but who has the other two?"
"I don't know."
Wei Qing looked at the chessboard and said, "The Queen said that there might be changes to the Soul Pearls. I always thought that it was Zhu Xia who betrayed and tried to replace the Queen with Leng Yanqiu. Now, it seems that … the matter is far more complicated than I imagined, especially since even Childe Chiyan is involved … If this matter is related to him …"
At this point, Wei Qing did not continue. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "As for the Soul Pearls, I think the reason why Red Head held the auction is to lure out the whereabouts of the other Soul Pearls."
"Sigh, at this point in time, the Queen has no clue at all. We don't know who inherited her bloodline. If … if there really is an unsalvageable variable, what should we do?" Gray Robe shook his head and sighed. He was worried and helpless. "Unfortunately, there is still Zhu Xia and the others behind the scenes. Really …"
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in the garden. That black figure knelt on one knee and respectfully called out, "Young Master."
Wei Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There's news about Childe Chiyan. He has always been in the Red Void Villa. Now that the news has been exposed, I believe that it won't take long for it to spread. When I returned, the few young masters of the Murong family, Lingdu Sect, and Ice Mystic Sect had all rushed over."
"Red Void Villa." Wei Qing seemed to have suddenly realized something. His expression changed slightly as he asked, "If I remember correctly, Liu Piaopiao had already entered the Red Void Villa two days ago?"
"Miss Liu has indeed always been in the Red Void Villa. Furthermore … she even … went on stage to perform."
"This woman! Really … "Wei Qing suddenly stood up. He frowned and said somewhat angrily." With her personality, she will definitely test Gu Qingfeng. I have already told her. Why did she still … Things are already messy enough. Can't she let me be less worried … Really! "
With a bang, Wei Qing waved his hand and the chessboard on the table instantly turned into ashes.
He was not an impulsive person. He was also not someone who got angry easily.
He had never been one.
However, he still could not help but get angry. He was angry that Liu Piaopiao did not listen to his advice. Because of this, he had no choice but to make a trip to the Red Void Villa.
To be honest, the Red Void Villa was not scary. At least, Wei Qing was not afraid. What he was really afraid of was the person living in the villa.
If he could, he really did not want to face that mysterious and strange person. She was scary when she was quiet and even scarier when she moved.
"Let's go. Let's go to the Red Void Villa."
Wei Qing closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows. He was very distressed and said weakly, "I hope that Liu Piaopiao has not made things out of hand. I hope … I can only hope …"
The sun set in the west like the sunset glow.
The reason why the Gilded Gold Land was called Gilded Gold Land was because the geology here was very strange. When the sun shone down, it was as dazzling as the ground was covered with gold. At this moment, the sun was setting in the west and the sunset glow enveloped the land. Although it was not golden under the sun, it was still as warm as yellow.
In a garden in the Red Void Villa.
A man in white was lying on a rocking chair leisurely. On his cold face, his expression was neither comfortable nor happy. He seemed to be very calm. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was resting.
Beside him, a short and fat man with a round figure was bowing. He lowered his head and stood quietly with his hands in his sleeves.
The man in white was not someone else. He was Gu Qingfeng who had just returned from the gambling house.
After an unknown period of time, he opened his eyes and sat up. Féquy who was beside him quickly poured a cup of wine.
Gu Qingfeng took the wine and took a sip. He murmured, "Shuiyun Wine, could it be her …" Thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"Young Master, do you want me to check it for you?"
"Check it?"
Gu Qingfeng didn't respond in time. He just played with his wine cup and looked at it. After a long time, he slowly said, "Forget it. There are some things that are better left unknown. Some old friends … are better off not meeting."
After that, Gu Qingfeng seemed to notice something and looked at the door.
After a moment, a woman came in and asked respectfully, "Young Master, may I ask if your surname is Gu, your name is Qingfeng, and your Taoist name is Chiyan?"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Our Miss is waiting for a performance. She wants to invite you to watch it."
"Who is your Miss?"
"Liu Piaopiao."
