It was originally thought that Qing Muye was dead, but who would have known he was still alive.
"What do you two plan to do now?"
Since Qing Muye had revealed his identity, Old Chen Tou could no longer force him to continue his disguise and could only ask for their thoughts.
After speaking, he did not forget to remind, "The Hunting Ceremony is approaching, and if you expose your identity, it will only make He Kaqing Tang strengthen the personnel's attacks on Jingwei. This is not good."
"I have my own arrangements for the Hunting Ceremony."
Qing Muye had been holding Meng Jingwei's hand, never letting go. "However, I need to go out with Ah Wei now."
"Do you have to go find Anthony?"
Old Chen Tou took a puff of his cigarette, exhaling smoke, his tone heavy.
"Yes."
Qing Muye was concise, seemingly unwilling to say more.
"Alright. Since you've discussed it, go ahead." He waved his hand.
The couple exchanged a glance, then turned and walked out.
After they had been gone for quite some time, Daisy Tini walked up to Old Chen Tou and sat down. "Teacher, you knew Qing Muye's identity long ago, why didn't you tell me?"
Her tone clearly conveyed a sense of blame.
"You think I knew very early on?"
Old Chen Tou gave her a look. "Qing Muye was never simple, and he hid it extremely well. I couldn't see it at all. If I hadn't been unable to sleep one night and sat alone in the courtyard late at night, personally witnessing him flip from the third floor to Jingwei's bedroom on the second floor, I might not have guessed his identity at all."
"Is that so?"
"Otherwise?" Old Chen Tou picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. "Ultimately, we were careless and underestimated the enemy. And you! You didn't even recognize your own subordinate, and now you have the nerve to question me?"
Daisy Tini, who had been defiant just moments ago, deflated and gave a sheepish smile. "Tie Zhuzi and I... we weren't that familiar. He was in charge of the kitchen, and I saw him less, so I didn't pay much attention."
Speaking of this, the smile on her face disappeared, and her expression turned grim. "However, it's truly incredible that Qing Muye could evade the schemes of Anthony and us, and successfully enter the Hidden Clan. Teacher, I feel that our plan will change because of him."
Old Chen Tou held the purple clay cup in his hand, finishing the last sip of water. His cloudy eyes narrowed slightly. "The Hidden Clan's succession ceremony is imminent, and no one can disrupt my plan."
"Teacher, you mean..."
Kill gods who block the way, kill buddhas who block the path?
Daisy Tini didn't finish her sentence, but upon seeing Old Chen Tou clench his right fist and shatter the purple clay cup in his hand, she immediately understood his meaning.
"I knew he would be a disaster." Old Chen Tou spread his hands, looking at the shattered purple clay cup in his hand, and said word for word, "As long as he's not removed, I can't rest easy."
"Yes. Teacher, you and the former Hidden Clan leader have been planning for the restoration for over twenty years, and it absolutely cannot be ruined by a mere Qing Muye."
Daisy Tini stood up and said forcefully, "Teacher, rest assured, I will definitely help you eliminate this major threat!"
With that, she walked around the sofa and left directly.
At the same time.
Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye went down the mountain and drove directly to Yipinju.
On the upper floor of Yipinju, Shi Ran and Tang Si, who had woken up relatively late, were having breakfast.
Because the two had confirmed their relationship the night before, Tang Si had brazenly taken her once more as soon as they woke up.
Shi Ran, exhausted, had fallen asleep and thus woken up late.
"Eat more."
Tang Si placed a shrimp dumpling on the plate in front of Shi Ran. "You're too thin, all bones when I hold you."
