Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Houqing had already figured out Gu Yanfei’s background after they first met in the manor in the suburbs of Beijing last December.

He had even sent someone to Huaibei and had investigated everything about her in Huaibei, except how she had learned this superb Dao technique.

Gu Ce, the Duke of Ding Yuan, was Gu Yanfei’s biological father. He was once a famous general in the Great Jin Dynasty and was brave and good at fighting.

Xia Houqing had heard of this person before, but that was all. Gu Ce was just a piece of history.

A person’s death was like a lamp going out. It wasn’t important.

Xia Houqing casually opened his folding fan, revealing a pale wrist that looked like it hadn’t seen the sun for many years. As he fanned his folding fan, he turned his gaze to Chu Yi.

“What do you know now?” His cold voice was filled with interest, and his tone was very firm.

Chu Yi met the other party’s piercing gaze without avoiding it. He didn’t plan to hide it and said calmly, “Nine years ago, the State of Yue sent out a hundred thousand troops, but only seventy thousand returned.”

Since they wanted to cooperate, he naturally had to show his sincerity.

Since he wanted to get information from the other party, he had to show his chips.

Chu Yi only said this briefly.

“Interesting!” Xia Houqing was stunned before he smiled.

The corners of his red lips curled up, and the smile on his beautiful and flawless face widened bit by bit, turning into a demonic and evil smile.

Young Master Yi was indeed interesting.

During the eight years he was a hostage in the State of Yue, he was like a bird in a cage. Unless it was a favor from the Sage, he couldn’t leave the manor. To put it bluntly, he was just a spoil of war from the Sage. He would be taken out to be exposed to the sun when necessary.

But even so, Chu Yi could still seize the opportunity to discover these clues.

According to the dossier, there should be 80,000 troops returning to the State of Yue in triumph. In other words, there were actually 10,000 fewer people.

The fan in Xia Houqing’s hand flapped twice again, and a few strands of hair at his temples fluttered before falling again. The fluttering hair caressed his face, adding to his bewitchment, and his eyes lit up.

He recalled the dossier he had read and said, “According to the dossier of the Ministry of War, not long after the peace talks between the two countries, the Sage issued a decree to pardon the world. Even the army received a pardon. The 80,000-strong army was completely stripped of their armor and returned to the fields…”

Back then, everyone in the State of Yue was grateful to the Sage for his kindness. Now that they thought about it, the Sage’s motive was probably to hide the 10,000 missing people.

“Knock, knock.”

Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the private room, interrupting Xia Houqing’s unfinished words.

Old Master Qi, who was dressed in black and had silver hair, walked in expressionlessly. He didn’t look sideways and only reported to Xia Houqing, “Master, Baili Yin is here.”

“Alone?” Xia Houqing asked casually.

“There’s also Kang Wang, Chu You, Jianwei General Wang Nan, and Kang Wang’s cousin, Yuan Zhe.” Elder Qi’s old eyelids drooped, and his dry voice was flat.

These three people had important positions in the court.

Xia Houqing looked out of the window. A window in the private seat they were in faced the entrance of the lobby below. From his position, he could see Chu You, Baili Yin, and the others standing at the entrance of the Tianyin Pavilion.

Xia Houqing only took a glance before slowly retracting his gaze. He looked at Chu Yi firmly. “I’m here to look for you.”

The sunlight coming from the window stretched his shadow thin and long. Half of his face was sunken in the shadow. The light and shadow formed an extreme contrast, outlining his contours even more clearly, making him appear both beautiful and demonic.

He supported his face with his elbow and casually tapped the end of his eyebrows with his slender index finger. He asked casually, “Where did the two of you go today?”

There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

Chu Yi and Xia Houqing looked at each other. One of them smiled gently, while the other smiled coldly.

“Lord Xia, do you want to stay?” Chu Yi asked instead of answering.

His words implied that he was admitting that Baili Yin, Chu You, and the others were here to look for him.

Stay? Xia Houqing seemed to have heard an interesting suggestion. He raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “You’re not treating me like an outsider at all.”

Xia Houqing narrowed his charming phoenix eyes and stared intently at Chu Yi, wanting to see if he was being polite.

Chu Yi’s eyes were like two deep wells, calm and unmoving.

Since Xia Houqing couldn’t tell what was going on, he simply stopped moving. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Chu You and the others had already entered the hall with the waiter’s welcome..
