Chapter 312 Change of plan
Chu Qing's words were so abrupt, like a bolt of thunder in the dark night.

Not only Wu Qianhuan and Wen Rou were surprised, but Liu Qingyan and Su Ningzhen also suddenly widened their eyes.

Han Qiuyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, as if the biggest secret in his heart had been revealed.

But this process only lasted for a moment, and the next moment, confusion appeared on his face:
"what are you saying?"

The tone, the expression, everything was impeccable.

If Chu Qing hadn't been observing him carefully, it would have been difficult for her to notice that fleeting change in his eyes.

Chu Qing smacked his lips and ignored Han Qiuyuan.

The thing he wanted to cheat had already been cheated out, so he lowered his head and began to think.

The reason for asking this question was because he saw Young Master Han visiting Han Tingting's room late at night and asking his sister to leave Xiaohan Valley.

There was something utterly odd about this matter.

Chu Qing couldn't help but think deeply...

After all, there are many people in Xiaohan Valley now, and it is really unreasonable to send your own daughter away at this time.

On the contrary, it might attract attention... and under this kind of situation, with all kinds of evil spirits gathering together, who knows what kind of people will be and what kind of thoughts they will have?
Han Yiren has been in charge of Xiaohan Valley for many years. How could he not consider the risks involved?

Unless there is another risk that is far greater than this one and he cannot afford to take this risk, he must send his daughter away.

Considering the Tianxie Cult standing behind Xiaohan Valley and the purpose behind this so-called grand event.

Chu Qing thought at the time that Han Yiren had discovered the danger of this matter and did not want his daughter to be involved.

After thinking about it more deeply, he felt that Han Yiren was not sure about this matter, so he wanted to leave a way out for his daughter.

But this also creates problems.

If you are not sure, why do it?
If they are ambitious, they should plan carefully before taking action and be fully confident in every move, otherwise they cannot afford the consequences.

But if that's really the case, why send Han Tingting away?
Chu Qing thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility... Han Yiren was also helpless.

The world of martial arts is a mess. It may seem calm, but it is actually turbulent inside. No matter who is involved in it, it is difficult to stay out of it.

If Han Yiren had no choice, then he was threatened by the Tianxie Cult?

This is what Chu Qing thought at first... and felt that it was necessary to meet Han Yiren.

Perhaps we can learn more from the mouth of the master of Xiaohan Valley.

But when Han Tingting said that the person who came to visit Xiaohan Valley three days ago was a distinguished guest from their family, Chu Qing suddenly realized...something was wrong.

The person who came to visit three days ago was Han Qiuyuan, who was the third master of the Liexing Mansion.

If Xiaohan Valley belongs to Liexing Mansion, then there are two things worth talking about.

The first thing is, with Xiaohan Valley having such a background, how could it be threatened by the Tianxie Cult?
He is not alone. With one of the three prefectures as his backer, even if the Liexing Prefecture is no match for the Tianxie Cult, this matter will cause a sensation throughout the entire Lingbei and everyone will know about it.

The crisis of Xiaohan Valley is no longer just Xiaohan Valley’s concern.

Rather, it was a major event in which the entire Lingbei region was invaded by the Tianxie Cult.

This is one of them.

The second thing has nothing to do with the Tianxie Cult... You have to know that the place where they are now is the territory of Liaoyuan Prefecture.

As a branch of the Han family, Xiao Han Gu did not settle down in Liexing Prefecture, but traveled thousands of miles to Liaoyuan Prefecture. What was his intention?

If Liaoyuan Prefecture knew the true origin of Xiaohan Valley, I am afraid that Xiaohan Valley would be destroyed immediately.

So what is the purpose of this move?

After Chu Qing thought about it, he felt that there were probably two possibilities.

The first possibility is that Han Yiren had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Han family in his early years, so he broke away from the power of Liexing Mansion and sneaked into Liaoyuan Mansion, where he took root and established his place.

But judging from the current situation, something doesn't seem right.

When Han Qiuyuan came to visit, Han Yiren led the crowd to welcome him. How could there be any grudge between them?
The second possibility is that this was a move made by the Han family from the very beginning.

From the very beginning, Xiaohan Valley was controlled by the Han family.

Does the Han family know about the collusion between Xiaohan Valley and the Tianxie Cult?

This is why Chu Qing asked such an abrupt question, and the answer was also obvious.

The Han family is also in cahoots with the Tianxie Cult.

Han Yiren was probably just a nobody who was not worth mentioning. He was originally a knife of the Han family. How could he be forced by the Tianxie Cult and the Han family to create this so-called "grand event".

He had no confidence in this, and knew full well that he had no choice.

Success would be great, but if he fails, he would be used as a scapegoat.

It was precisely because he knew the risks involved in this matter that Han Yiren thought of sending his daughter away!

Even if something happened to him and his son, at least he still had a daughter.

Of course, the subsequent thoughts were still Chu Qing’s own wishful thinking, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were fantasies, but the person in front of him could prove this point.

So he asked again:
"What conditions did you agree to Han Yiren for him to allow Han Tingting to go down the mountain and travel the world?"

If the previous words about colluding with the Tianxie Cult were to be mentioned, Han Qiuyuan's expression would inevitably reveal a flaw.

Now Chu Qing's words really made Han Qiuyuan feel incredible:

"You...how did you know?"

Although this sentence did not say anything, it seemed as if it had said everything.

As if he had realized his own aphasia, Han Qiuyuan added:
"who are you?"

Chu Qing still ignored him, just smiled and said:

"Thank you."

"???"

Han Qiuyuan looked confused. He didn't say anything, so what was he thanking him for?

Su Ningzhen was also confused, but she didn't dare to ask, so she poked Liu Qingyan and asked her to ask.

Liu Qingyan didn't know why Su Ning was so afraid of Chu Qing. She always had an indescribable feeling of closeness to Chu Qing.

This feeling is definitely not that of being pleased with him...there is no such heart-pounding feeling.

It just feels natural when I'm with him.

There is a natural goodwill in it, which seems to be in the bones and blood. It is so natural that Liu Qingyan only discovered it after she realized Su Ningzhen's fear of Chu Qing.

She shook her head and asked directly:
"What on earth is going on? I am dumbfounded."

Chu Qing glanced at her and smiled when he heard this:
“I think you all know the reason why Han Yiren of Xiaohan Valley held this Jianghu grand gathering.

"Someone is killing innocent people indiscriminately, and it's organized and premeditated. Han Yiren has repeatedly uncovered this matter and discovered the crisis, which led to this event.

“But in reality, this matter is not as simple as imagined.

"The truth is that the Tianxie Cult colluded with Han Yiren to help him become famous, and they want to wipe out all these scattered soldiers in the martial arts world...

"Of course, catching them all in one fell swoop is just my guess, and I guess there must be some other purpose.

“That’s just something I don’t understand.

“But tonight, I found out through some indirect clues that Han Yiren seemed to be helpless in this matter.

"I just had a conversation with this Senior Han..."

He said the three words "Senior Han" very seriously, but it made Liu Qingyan almost laugh.

Although this person was being polite, he actually hung Senior Han directly on the tree.

He is not a good person after all...

And are you communicating?

The exchanges are all questions and answers.

You asked, but Han Qiuyuan didn't answer you. What kind of communication is this?

However, even though he complained in his heart, he also understood that every time Chu Qing asked Han Qiuyuan, he was observing Han Qiuyuan's expression. Although there was no verbal communication, their facial expressions had already communicated.

Then I heard Chu Qing say:

“Thanks to Senior Han’s cooperation, I know that Xiaohan Valley and Liexing Mansion are of the same origin.

"Han Yiren not only cooperated with the Tianxie Cult, but was also coerced by the Lixing Mansion to do...

"Speaking of which, I am really curious about how you threatened Han Yiren so that he didn't even dare to send his daughter away privately. He had to beg you before he dared to let Han Tingting go.

"This method is really amazing. I also want to learn it. How about you tell me about it?"

Han Qiuyuan's face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word for a moment.

Chu Qing was not in a hurry when he saw this, but turned to Su Ningzhen and said:

"If a person dares to speak so arrogantly when he is under control, he must be really confident and think he still has a chance to survive.

“Either he has no chance of survival, or he has a big secret in his heart.

“In order to protect the real secret and not wanting to endure the pain of torture, I provoked you to kill him.

“Han Qiuyuan’s real secret is the collusion between the Star Splitting Mansion and the Heavenly Evil Cult.

“The Xiangshanhai Golden Cup should really be in the hands of Han Qiujun of Liexing Mansion… But, this was also intentional on his part.

“As one of the three mansions that are in cahoots with the Tianxie Cult, no one knows how many masters are hidden in the current Lixing Mansion?

"He wants to lure us in so that Han Qiujun can cooperate with the experts of the Tianxie Cult to capture all of us in one fell swoop!"

When he said this, Chu Qing sighed:

"The previous plan has to be changed."

He and You Zong did not expect that there were other entanglements behind Xiaohan Valley. Their initial thoughts were too simple.

The purpose is nothing more than to lure out the Twelve Holy Kings behind Xiaohan Valley.

But now it seems that this person may not be in Xiaohan Valley...it is still unknown whether he will show up in the end.

If he shows up, that would be great, but if not, I might have to go to the Lixing Mansion.

To be honest, I don't have any connection with this Ghost Emperor, so it doesn't seem worth it to work so hard for him.

If things in Xiaohan Valley don't work out, then just do your best. If they succeed, that would be great.

If that doesn't work, just do your own thing first.

He was planning his itinerary in his mind as if nothing had happened, but he had no idea how much shock these words had brought to Su Ningzhen and Liu Qingyan.

Not to mention Han Qiuyuan, who always thought he was hiding well.

He just felt that the person in front of him was like a monster...

He summarized all the unrelated things and finally found the truth!
Han Qiuyuan's eyes turned red for a moment:

"You are definitely not an unknown person. Tell me... who are you?"

Chu Qing suddenly looked up at him and smiled slightly:
"To be honest, you are qualified to know my name."

Han Qiuyuan didn't know for a moment whether he should be proud... He could only wait resentfully for Chu Qing's next words.

Then I heard Chu Qing say:

"But I just don't want to tell you."

"..."

How unreasonable! ! !

Han Qiuyuan wanted to roar, but the next moment, Chu Qing grabbed his neck with one hand, twisted his five fingers hard, and with a click, Han Qiuyuan died on the spot without a sound.

【Commission completed! 】

[Successfully assassinated Han Qiuyuan and obtained a 'Random Martial Arts Treasure Box'. ]

Will this system still work?
Is this considered an assassination?

Chu Qing sighed, unable to complain. He could only say that this artificial idiot was still lacking in intelligence.

"Dig a hole and bury him."

Suning really reacted, nodded repeatedly, and started digging a hole on the spot.

Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou came to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou:
"Do you remember when we were at Luochen Villa, I asked you to remember the smell of a monk?"

“Not a monk.”

Gentle nodded.

Wu Qianhuan was stunned and was about to ask, if it wasn’t a monk, then what was it?
But then I realized:
"The Three Happy Immortals?"

Chu Qing nodded and was about to speak when he heard Wenrou say:
"He is in the Guanyun Pavilion."

Chu Qing was stunned, then smiled:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask me."

Wenrou blinked.

Chu Qing then said to Wu Qianhuan:
"I have to go again. After I finish dealing with things here, you can find a place to rest. I will come back to find you later."

"it is good."

Wu Qianhuan didn't ask any more questions, nor did he pester Chu Qing to go with him.

Chu Qing smiled upon seeing this, and took Wenrou's wrist. In a flash, two figures disappeared in front of Wu Qianhuan.

Suning was really setting a trap, but he couldn't help but look at Chu Qing from the corner of his eye.

When I saw the two people disappear in an instant, my heart skipped a beat again.

Just now, I was taken away by him like this and disappeared like lightning?

Han Qiuyuan was right, this person was definitely not an unknown person.

Thinking in my heart, I looked up and found Liu Qingyan frowning:

"what happened to you?"

"You said, if the Lixing Mansion has already colluded with the Tianxie Cult, then what position will the Yaotai Sect, which is in marriage with the Lixing Mansion, take in this matter?"

This sentence really stunned Suning, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

But Liu Qingyan's laughter became increasingly sinister:

"If the Yaotai Sect really goes against the chivalrous path, can we kill He Qiangu with our own hands?"

Suning suddenly realized and felt infinite power in his body.

The speed of digging holes...is much faster.

At this moment, Chu Qing had returned to Guanyun Pavilion in Xiaohan Valley with gentleness.

She stretched out her hand and pointed, and this time the room she pointed to was Qingyun Pavilion.

Chu Qing came to the door, broke the bolt, and pushed the door open with a light push.

As he stepped in, he saw a man sitting up from the bed, looking at Chu Qing and Wen Rou in doubt.

Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou, and when she nodded, Chu Qing said:

"The plan has changed. I want to discuss it with you."

"!!!"
