Could It Be Him?

"He's actually still alive?"

Qi Jialue saw Lu Feng and Su Huaijin approaching and subconsciously muttered a curse.

Though his voice was low, Lu Feng heard it clearly with his strength.

He had already been wondering how Shadow Moon had found him so precisely, and how she had infiltrated this place.

From the looks of it now, Qi Jialue was probably involved.

"Senior Sister Su~" Qi Jialue hurried forward to greet her. "I was staying in New Bamboo Hall the whole time. Since I waited so long without seeing you return, I thought I'd come take a look. I never expected to run into that lecherous thief who peeked at Senior Sister Xu while she was changing."

Qi Jialue's words were indeed clever. First, he emphasized where he had been earlier, distancing himself from any suspicion of being connected to Shadow Moon. Second, he concealed the true reason he had returned and appeared here.

When Qi Jialue had first come to Su Huaijin's courtyard, he had actually noticed the Jade Dragon Steed. But his attention had been on "Lin Liyun," and the Jade Dragon Steed's body had been covered by cloth, making it difficult to see clearly. He could not confirm whether it was truly the legendary spirit steed, so he used the excuse of waiting too long for her and came back again.

Based on Qi Jialue's analysis, if this beast really was a Jade Dragon Steed, Su Huaijin had likely obtained it through dishonorable means. Otherwise, she would not have kept it so carefully hidden. If he stole it along with the opportunity, she would not dare make a fuss about it.

Compared to the status of a disciple, or that woman Chu Youwei, the Jade Dragon Steed was undoubtedly far more valuable.
