1844: Back Then

Back Then

San San said, "There's no specific rule about that. I go there several times a month."2

After all, he had to do business to earn money and support his 'masters'—the Black Sword Sect. If he didn't work hard, he wouldn't even be able to afford a full meal.

Chu Liuyue stopped him from crying. "That's good. I'll go with you tomorrow."

San San was shocked and widened his eyes. There was great confusion in his small eyes. "Master, where are you going?"

Chu Liuyue raised her brows. "What, can't I go?"

"No, no! I'm just a little surprised…" San San coughed. Weren't we talking about the Black Sword Sect just now? Why did she mention Clear Water Cliff in the blink of an eye?

Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment and smiled. "When I came here in the past, Clear Water Cliff was just an ordinary place. Now that it has become a treasure land, I naturally have to take a look. In addition, didn't you say that there are many precious herbs inside?"

San San nodded.

His master was a heavenly doctor and had always been very interested in natural treasures. It was naturally normal for her to want to go to Clear Water Cliff.

"Alright! I'll arrange it tomorrow!"

…

After Cen Yi and the rest left, Chu Liuyue sat quietly alone for a while.

Creak—

Someone pushed the door open and entered.

Chu Liuyue looked up.

His snow-white clothes fluttered.

It was Rong Xiu.

"It looks like you've gained a lot today." Rong Xiu smiled casually as he walked over.

Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. "…That's right. Not only did we gain something from today's trip, but we're also pleasantly surprised."

She had only brought Thirteen to break through, but she had accidentally exposed the big secret of the Black Sword Sect. Her luck was really too good.

She pondered for a moment and told Rong Xiu what she had seen today.

Rong Xiu listened calmly from beginning to end. He then smiled at the end. "To dare do this here, it seems that the Black Sword Sect's ambition isn't small."

Chu Liuyue looked at him strangely. "You… Why do you seem to have guessed it long ago?"

Rong Xiu had always been calm, but this reaction… was really too calm.

He tilted his head, half-smiling. "When you went out today, I asked Yan Qing to check some news."

Chu Liuyue widened her eyes slightly. "So you did know?"

Rong Xiu smiled and shook his head. "Half of it. Yan Qing only found out that many of the people who participated in the Black Sword Sect's monthly assessments disappeared for no reason. However, he didn't know that the Black Sword Sect dealt with them using such methods."

The corner of Chu Liuyue's lips twitched. How is that different from knowing?

I know so well because I have seen it with my own eyes. However, Yan Qing has only been out for half a day and has already found out about this. He is indeed more impressive.

"How did he find out?" Chu Liuyue was rather curious.

Rong Xiu poured himself a cup of tea. White mist curled up, blurring his eyes. "We were here for a while back then, weren't we?"

Chu Liuyue was slightly dazed. "You mean—"

Rong Xiu took a sip of tea.

Any action by him seemed exceptionally elegant and noble.

The faint fragrance of tea filled the air, and it was an extremely familiar scent.

He looked up slightly and met her eyes. His thin lips curved slightly, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He was clearly as noble as an immortal, but this glance was deep and quiet, wanting to devour her.

He nodded, smiling. "I left a couple of guys here."
