On a small hill a hundred miles outside of Sword Showcase City, there is a small wooden house.
But from the outside, there was nothing on the hill, only a few lonely Xiaoshu.
These Xiaoshu form the foundation of the hidden formation.
Outside the cabin, four people stood gazing into the distance toward Sword Showcase City, as if they were taking in everything that was happening at the Xiujian Tournament.
"Looks like the fish has taken the bait," Liu Ziru chuckled.
Ye Qiubai said, "Next, the Xuanyuan Clan will probably cause trouble at the Listening Wind Pavilion, right? They'll demand a compensation plan from them. However, the information Listening Wind Pavilion gave the Xuanyuan Clan is wrong, and that will quickly spread to all the top forces in the Cangxuan Continent."
Xu Yeming nodded. "This time, Listening Wind Pavilion will suffer a major blow."
Shi Sheng then looked at Liu Ziru and asked, " Uncle Liu, when shall we make our move?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziru smiled and said, "There's no rush. Taking immediate action would leave too many traces and arouse suspicion from other forces, which would be counterproductive. It's better to let public opinion ferment first and let more forces know about this matter."
"Furthermore, Listening Wind Pavilion wouldn't have time to investigate the source of this information; they also have to deal with the Xuanyuan Clan's retaliation."
It should be noted that the Xuanyuan Clan offered Listening Wind Pavilion a very high reward in order to find Ye Qiubai's whereabouts as soon as possible.
But now, not only is the intelligence false, but the Xuanyuan Clan's time has also been wasted, and more importantly, the Xuanyuan Clan feels like they have been deceived.
As a top-tier aristocratic Aristocratic Clan.
The Xuanyuan Clan will definitely not do nothing.
In short, Listening Wind Pavilion is in trouble.
Ye Qiubai smiled after hearing this and said, " Uncle Liu should have already arranged for people to spread this news, right?"
"Of course." Liu Ziru didn't deny it, shrugging as if it were a matter of course, " Listening Wind Pavilion will definitely try every means to suppress this news, and we can't let them have their way."
At this moment.
Liu Ziru and the others looked eastward, all revealing ambiguous smiles.
Soon, three men and one woman came to them.
Xiao Hei and Gu Sheng, among them Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu's hands are clasped together.
Ye Qiubai joked, "You two didn't come here holding hands the whole time, did you?"
Before Mu Fusheng could refute.
Xiao Hei shrugged and said, "That's right! These two hands are like they're glued together; they simply can't bear to separate."
Mu Fusheng cried out in his heart that he was wronged. It was clearly him who was about to let go, but Jiu Bailu held on tightly! He wanted to say something, but then he saw Jiu Bailu's "kind" eyes.
After thinking about it, I decided against it.
Shi Sheng laughed and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Mu! Now our Cottage will have another couple."
Mu Fusheng's gaze shifted uncertainly.
Xu Yeming chuckled softly, "Looks like there's going to be a celebratory feast?"
Mu Fusheng blushed.
Jiu Bailu Egret laughed heartily, "After this is over, there will be plenty to eat."
After offering his congratulations, Ye Qiubai looked at Mu Fusheng and said, "Why are you, a grown man, getting shy? Your sister-in-law is so poised and elegant."
Mu Fusheng gritted his teeth and said, "That's a question for you guys. Why don't you look at each other and see what's going on?"
That's right.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai and the others were all staring at Mu Fusheng with extremely mocking eyes.
"Once you see it, you'll know what you're thinking..." Mu Fusheng said with an exaggerated expression, "Oh? Didn't you always say that beautiful women are a source of trouble? Didn't you always want to avoid Jiu Bailu? How come you're about to become dao companion?"
Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.
"The younger Junior Brother Mu, understands better."
"That's absolutely right!"
Xiao Hei waved his hand and said, "Alright, since my Junior Brother Mu understands me so well, I can't be stingy. I'll cook a whole table of dishes at the wedding banquet. It'll be a good opportunity to practice my skills, no problem at all!"
Instantly.
Everyone except Jiu Bailu felt a jolt.
Mu Fusheng's facial muscles twitched.
"Senior brother... never mind... I appreciate your kindness."
Seeing this Jiu Bailu asked, "What's wrong? It's rare for Little Senior Brother Hei to have such a kind offer."
kindness?
Then you can't invite people you're close to to the wedding banquet; you should invite every single one of your enemies.
Xiao Hei's cooking is absolutely poison!
Ye Qiubai patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder, his lips twitching, "Although I don't want to tell the truth, how many times did you blow up the kitchen in those few days?"
That's right.
Lu Changsheng had previously said he would punish Ye Qiubai, but later felt that the punishment during the cultivation process was not enough, so he simply added teaching Ye Qiubai to cook.
That day was definitely Ye Qiubai's darkest day.
It was far more painful than constantly pulling out the Azure Cloud Sword Azure Cloud Sword in the Stone Forest and having your body torn apart and hollowed out by it.
Blowing up the kitchen is one thing.
When you teach someone to cook, you definitely need to taste the food they make, right?
After all, Xiao Hei has a problem with his sense of taste; he finds the food he makes delicious...
And so... Ye Qiubai was tormented to the point of near death by Xiao Hei's dishes.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about these things later," Liu Ziru quickly interrupted. "Although we need to wait for public opinion to develop before taking the next step, we can start making preparations now."
At this point, Liu Ziru's expression turned serious. "After all, this second step is the most dangerous one, especially for Ye Qiubai."
Ye Qiubai nodded seriously.
The first step is simply to release false information; they don't need to do it themselves.
However, this second step... requires Ye Qiubai to take the initiative.
First, the Dark Domain made contact with the Xuanyuan Clan unintentionally. Then, after raising the topic of the Xuanyuan Clan needing information about Ye Qiubai, they told them the location where Ye Qiubai would appear.
Of course, this time it's real intelligence.
Because it is real, Ye Qiubai must personally appear at the scene described in the intelligence report to await the arrival of the Xuanyuan Clan.
This means that Ye Qiubai will have to face the high-level combat power of the Xuanyuan Clan directly.
The slightest mistake could lead to Ye Qiubai's demise.
"Alright, we can go and prepare now. We must make sure everything goes perfectly!"
On the other side.
The headquarters of the Listening Wind Pavilion is located on a towering mountain peak.
The mountain peaks soar into the clouds, and the mountain walls are as smooth as if they were carved by a master craftsman.
At the top of the cliff, there is a pavilion standing on the edge of the cliff, and one step further is a sheer drop!
Inside the attic.
The two vice-pavilion masters of the Listening Wind Pavilion looked at the three people in front of them with solemn expressions.
"Fellow Daoists of the Xuanyuan Clan, our Listening Wind Pavilion will definitely give you an explanation regarding the intelligence matter, so..."
The Grand Elder interrupted, "What explanation? Or are you saying that your Listening Wind Pavilion didn't verify the authenticity of the information before giving it to us?"
At this point, the First Elder's face darkened. "It seems that your Listening Wind Pavilion doesn't take our Xuanyuan Clan seriously."
The Second Elder said directly, "Forget about the explanation. Just return all the rewards we gave you, and then... kill the person who provided this information... Oh, by the way, other forces should know about this by now."
The first two requirements are acceptable to the Listening Wind Pavilion.
However, the last sentence immediately made the expressions of the two deputy pavilion masters turn serious.
They received the news after the Xuanyuan Clan left.
The news that Listening Wind Pavilion had given false information spread throughout the entire Cangxuan Continent!
At that moment, a man dressed in black emerged from the shadows.
The two deputy pavilion masters immediately cupped their hands and said, "Pavilion Master!"
The sect leader, hidden beneath his black robes, said in a deep voice, "I underestimated the Dark Domain..."
