After hearing Cai Shu's words, Qing Chen said, "I'll report this to the Governor Lord. The innocent will be cleared of suspicion. Bai Shao Hong's death had nothing to do with these people. His strength was beyond what Shang Qing and the others could handle. He could only have been killed by someone of equal strength—most likely one of the other three Young Progenitors.

Lu Yin received a message from Shang Qing at the same time. It was very direct: "The Cold Immortal Sect is going to take you by force." The message was written, so Qing Chen couldn't see it.
Lu Yin ended the communication. Before going to the Red Garden, he had given Shang Qing the Jade Butterfly's contact information. Through the Jade Butterfly's network, Shang Qing could learn about the Cold Immortal Sect's movements.
