"Where has your eldest senior sister gone now?"
Chu Xingchen set down the envelope in his hand and turned to ask.
Chen Baiqing thought for a moment. "She's probably in a meeting with Fourth Junior Sister and Fifth Junior Brother?"
"A meeting?" Chu Xingchen teased with a smile. "A prewar joke convention?"
"Master, you shouldn't make fun of Eldest Senior Sister like that, should you? She's taking this very seriously. The alliance leader has been inviting her to meetings all the time lately."
Chu Xingchen glanced over and quipped, "Do you think it's really your senior sister the alliance leader wants to invite?"
Chen Baiqing naturally understood what her master meant.
Nominally, the invitation was for Eldest Senior Sister. In reality, it was for the Heavenly Derivation Sect jade token in her hand.
After all, under the imposing pressure of that Heavenly Derivation Sect jade token, many things had been pushed forward with ease.
Lately, Zhao Chun had been looking at her senior sister as though she were his own ancestor. All that remained was to put Eldest Senior Sister on an altar.
But if even Chen Baiqing understood that, how could someone as clever as Eldest Senior Sister not know?
Ever since Eldest Senior Sister returned, her attitude had changed noticeably. She was definitely getting serious.
Chu Xingchen did not linger on the topic. "Call your senior sister back. I have something to tell her."
"All right."
Chen Baiqing nodded in agreement and turned to find her eldest senior sister.
Chu Xingchen's gaze returned to the envelope.
Before, his cultivation had been low and his connections limited. For many matters, he could only gather intelligence himself, feel his way forward, and then make a judgment.
That had been the case with the evil cultivators he encountered in Yuzhou City.
