"I said before, when the truth in Taichu Hall is fully revealed, then I’ll consider letting this go, right?"

"If you don’t let him out, I’ll go in and find him myself."

"Fine, fine, I’m coming out!" Lu Jin’an’s voice came from the bathroom, then he looked at Pei Wanyu and said, "Master, please get me some clothes, I can’t let Aunt Ruo come in."

Pei Wanyu glanced at Lu Jin’an, then at Xiao Yinruo, snorted lightly, and walked toward the bedroom.

Lu Jin’an sighed silently, then asked, "Aunt Ruo, did Nanzhi really show it to you?"

Xiao Yinruo ’sneered’ and said, "Would I joke about such a thing? You better explain properly what those things are for!"

You really know how to act...

Lu Jin’an thought silently, and soon enough the clothes sent by Master arrived: "I was hesitating on which outfit to give you, finally decided on this one~"

Seeing the smile on Master’s face, Lu Jin’an knew she was definitely testing him, but fortunately, Aunt Ruo wouldn’t play such a stimulating game...

After getting dressed, Lu Jin’an followed Xiao Yinruo to the bedroom, and Pei Wanyu naturally followed.

Without bathing, she could clearly feel the dampness on her inner thighs beneath her outer garment.

Xiao Yinruo frowned slightly and glanced at Pei Wanyu, her red lips moved, but she said nothing.

But Pei Wanyu understood her look, which made her feel a bit helpless inside, it seems like Yinruo’s mindset has enhanced significantly after advancing to Divine Concealment.

"Let me say first, don’t let Nanzhi see you with Jin’an."

Xiao Yinruo said, pushed open the door and walked in, Pei Wanyu walked in calmly, and Lu Jin’an stood directly on the other side of Master, so Aunt Ruo couldn’t secretly make any moves.

He looked at the Communication Compass on the table, which displayed the image of Senior Sister’s seclusion place.

At this moment, the cabinets large and small were open, with torture tools dazzlingly displayed.

······

Wandao Sect, Taichu Peak, cave mansion behind the mountain.

Zhu Nanzhi stood there dazed, her gaze sweeping past the ’torture tools’ in the surrounding cabinets, feeling a chill all over her body.

Is husband here, being trained by Mu Qingyue!?

She bit her lip tightly, clenching her fists, her nails almost embedded in her flesh.

It had been a few days since she arrived at Taichu Peak, yet she hadn’t directly confronted Mu Qingyue, because who would admit to such a thing if asked outright?

So she stayed under the guise of giving her husband a surprise at Taichu Hall, observing Mu Qingyue’s behavior while searching for evidence.

The four maids of Taichu Hall couldn’t be soul searched, and they often weren’t even at the hall, so the only one she could inquire from was Qiu Qingtang.

Originally, she thought Qiu Qingtang wouldn’t know anything, since he was an outsider fox of the Demon Clan, but after observing these past days, she discovered the fox spirit had quite a good relationship with Mu Qingyue!

What did she tell Qingyue back then?

Wasn’t it to warn her about this fox spirit?

Now their relationship has gotten this good?

However, that wasn’t the purpose of her visit, so Zhu Nanzhi couldn’t be bothered to say much, she quietly waited and occasionally heard Qiu Qingtang mention the back mountain, so she sneakily came here when Mu Qingyue left the hall today.

And thus, discovered so many things.

Although many things she didn’t know the use for, that collar... it had to be a collar!

It looked like a dog collar!

So, the contents of that letter were true!

This is Mu Qingyue’s seclusion place, and finding these things here means Mu Qingyue really wants to turn her husband into a dog, no, maybe it’s already succeeded.

If it had failed, how could Mu Qingyue still be peacefully staying in Taichu Hall these past few days?

Especially since Master Pei is Mu Qingyue’s ’mother’, she would definitely take Mu Qingyue’s side!

After thinking of all this, Zhu Nanzhi immediately conveyed everything here to Master through the Communication Compass, and then asked how things were on Master’s side.

Zhu Nanzhi could still maintain her composure because Wandao Sect wasn’t Qingmiao Palace, she couldn’t compete against the Sword Immortal senior sister of Wandao Sect here.

If it were outside, she would have immediately made a move to snatch her husband back!

On the other side of the Communication Compass, Master had been gone for a while, and Zhu Nanzhi didn’t know what Master was up to, but her heart involuntarily sank to the bottom.

Did Master get discovered by Master Pei?

But Sect Master Zheng also went to the Buddhist Sect... Master Pei shouldn’t have the guts to make a move against the Palace Master of Qingmiao Palace.

Zhu Nanzhi looked around, a trace of worry flickered in her eyes, did Mu Qingyue use all these ’torture tools’ on her husband?

If she used them... how much pain would her husband be in?

She took a deep breath, looked at the Communication Compass in her hand again, her expression slightly changing, and turned to look at the silver-haired figure slowly walking out from the cave. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Zhan Ming unsheathed.

Mu Qingyue, with a blindfold on her eyes, tilted her head to ’look’ at Zhu Nanzhi: "This is my place, yet you draw your sword first?

Sigh~ You’ve been found out."

······

Outside the cave, on a branch of a maple tree halfway up the mountain, Qiu Qingtang, who didn’t dare get too close, hugged Xiao Li, watching the drifting maple leaves intently: "Will they fight?"

"Weren’t you hoping they would fight?" Xiao Li in his arms asked curiously, "Sowing discord, two birds with one stone."

"That was before..." Qiu Qingtang looked down at Xiao Li, and pinched the back of her neck hard once more: "You can’t even handle the small task of delivering a letter properly, how did the letter end up at Qingmiao Palace in advance?"

Xiao Li kept her head down without daring to speak, though she didn’t know the reason either, it was indeed her fault, it was already a great mercy from her master not to kill her.

"Someone messed up my plans, who could it be?"

Qiu Qingtang muttered to herself, who has so much power to see through her plans, and accurately intercept them?

She looked toward the mountain peak. From her intentional probing to Zhu Nanzhi coming to the back mountain, she was a hundred percent sure Zhu Nanzhi came because of the contents of the letter, so it was exposed.

And she hadn’t prepared her plan yet.

Originally, according to the plan, Zhu Nanzhi would arrive at Taichu Peak more than ten days later.

Xiao Li weakly asked: "What should we do now?"

"The wise change with the times, and the knowledgeable adapt to circumstances, just like when one’s ’monthly condition’ comes, one can find other ways, this is a change according to the times..." Qiu Qingtang’s ears perked up, smilingly said: "Now that Zhu Nanzhi knows the contents of the letter ahead of time and rushed over, I can’t sow discord, so probably they will reconcile, and then... investigate the source of the inaccurate letter."

"Although I’m confident they can’t trace it back to me, since the letter was intercepted, I don’t have full confidence now, so..."

Qiu Qingtang jumped down from the branch: "I initially planned to sow discord with this letter, but now if I can’t, I need to act as a mediator before they fight.

In this way, after they reconcile, they will definitely remember my kindness, and our relationship will become closer, right?"

Qiu Qingtang gently petted the back of Xiao Li: "That way, they won’t immediately suspect me first."

"What if they do suspect?" Xiao Li asked, then resolutely said: "It was Xiao Li who did it!"

"You, can’t." Qiu Qingtang shook her head: "Won’t that just increase their suspicion?"

Qiu Qingtang’s steps turned playful: "I have my own brilliant plan."

Xiao Li opened her mouth: "But the letter matter is already exposed, what if..."

"Perfect." Qiu Qingtang’s gaze suddenly turned fierce: "If I can find out who’s ruining my plans, it’ll be fine, I want to see who dares to interfere with me!

Do they think they can bully me just because this fox doesn’t show its power?"

Xiao Li jumped to the ground, turned into a girl again, and continued to ask: "If no one suspects you, will you still sow discord?"

Qiu Qingtang pondered for several seconds then said: "Depends on the situation...

If they’re all together, I can also observe and sketch directly, right?"

Saying this, Qiu Qingtang’s fox tail moved: "It’s indeed a good idea."

"How does Master plan to mediate between Mu Jianxian and Saintess Zhu?"

Qiu Qingtang’s lips curved into a smile, taking out a stack of papers from the Qiankun Bracelet: "Reports of Saint Lu’s battle at the Buddhist Sect~ So impressive.

Those two are Saint Lu’s Daoist partners, they’ll surely be interested in this matter."
