The next day.
Hua Wu Que looked lovingly at Luo Bing, who was dressed in white, and said softly, "Dear sister, now that you have angered the head of your Red Flower Society, and Wen Si Xia has passed away, if you return to the Red Flower Society headquarters, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? Why don't you come with me, we'll find a chance, kill the Qing emperor, and avenge Wen Si Xia!"
Luo Bing's expression was resolute. After a night of calming down, her grief had been buried deep in her heart. Hearing Hua Wu Que's words of comfort, she felt a little relieved. "Flower Master, you don't need to worry. My husband and I have been working for the Red Flower Society for half our lives. Most of the brothers in the society are the former followers of my late husband. It's unlikely there will be any danger when we go back this time!"
"Fourth Sister-in-law is absolutely right, Flower Master, you don't need to worry. With me, Xu Tian Hong, here, I will never let Fourth Sister-in-law suffer any danger!" Xu Tian Hong, who was also wearing mourning clothes and had a white cloth band around his forehead, turned and said with determination when he heard Hua Wu Que's words. He had been somewhat certain these days that there must be someone with ulterior motives in the Red Flower Society, otherwise they wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties.
Seeing the resolute expressions of the two, Hua Wu Que couldn't persuade them any further. He let them carry Wen Tai Lai's body and slowly walked out of the door. As Luo Bing walked halfway, she turned around, her expression hazy, as if she had something to say. After hesitating for a while, she turned and left resolutely.
Hua Wu Que watched the two figures walk away, feeling a little depressed in his heart. Although he possessed unparalleled martial arts, he was of no use. In this kind of confrontation between forces, he couldn't take care of everything. He thought to himself that forming his own power was extremely urgent. He wondered how his sister was doing in the Sun Moon Holy Cult.
Just as he was happily pondering, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door. Chen Jin Nan, dressed in a scholar's gown and with a pale face, was standing outside. He quickly stepped aside to welcome him in.
Chen Jin Nan flashed into the room, without any pretense, walked straight to the table, and said to Hua Wu Que in a deep voice, "Flower Master, seeing you safe and sound, Chen Jin Nan can finally feel at ease. This operation, I don't know how the news leaked, all the brothers perished in the imperial palace, it's truly hateful!"
Hearing his words, Hua Wu Que knew that he suspected him, but he didn't dare say it directly. He took a package from the side and threw it on the table. "Chief Leader Chen, I don't know what happened on your side, but I went to the palace and it wasn't without gains. Use this thing to pay respects to the dead brothers!"
Chen Jin Nan was confused and slowly opened the package. A severed head with a fierce expression appeared before his eyes. Instead of being shocked, he was delighted. "Flower Master, you actually killed Ao Bai?!" He was truly surprised. Ao Bai had killed many of the Heavenly Society's experts, but he was too powerful. He had dreamed of killing this vile creature!
Confirming that the head was real, Chen Jin Nan stood up and bowed deeply to Hua Wu Que. "Chen, on behalf of the Green Wood Hall, from the hall master down, all the brothers who died at the hands of Ao Bai, thank you, Flower Master, for avenging their deaths!" Seeing Ao Bai's head, he no longer doubted Hua Wu Que. Remembering his dead brothers, he was overwhelmed with emotion, feeling that bowing wasn't enough, he was about to prostrate himself.
Hua Wu Que quickly stopped him, how could he let him kneel? He quickly said, "Chief Leader Chen, why such a grand gesture? Ao Bai's hands were stained with the blood of our Han people. I merely did what was right for the people, I don't deserve such praise!"
The two were still at odds, when suddenly a pleasant female voice came from outside the door. "Both of you are great heroes who stand tall in the world, why are you so obsessed with worldly rituals? You'll be laughed at!"
Hua Wu Que looked out the door and saw a woman with a beautiful face, elegant demeanor, and the appearance of a beautiful pearl walking in. Chen Jin Nan saw the person and hurriedly bowed down, but the woman dodged and stopped him, leaving him in a dilemma for a moment.
Hua Wu Que saw her movements and knew that she was no ordinary woman. He didn't say anything, but looked at Chen Jin Nan beside him, waiting for him to explain.
Chen Jin Nan never expected that the Ninth Princess would appear here. He calmed himself down, clasped his fists in a salute to Hua Wu Que, and said apologetically, "Please forgive me, Flower Master. This is our Ninth Princess. She heard of your name and was eager to meet you, so she came here without prior notice!"
"The main character in 'The Azure-Blooded Sword'???" Hua Wu Que understood in his heart, but he couldn't accept the identities of these two people. He was confused. "Why is Chen Jin Nan, who is loyal to the Zheng family, loyal to Zhu Hui Yao? This is too ridiculous!"
A Jiu saw his changing expression and didn't say anything. Thinking she had offended him, she quickly said in a soft voice, "It's just that A Jiu heard of Flower Master's name and acted on her own accord to come and meet you. It's not Uncle Chen's fault. Please don't blame him!" She had recently heard about Hua Wu Que's fame and saw him in person today. Unexpectedly, he was a jade-like young man. She suppressed her doubts and quickly remedied the situation.
Hua Wu Que's mind was filled with a million grass-mud horses galloping across it. He felt that the plot had become a mess. He should never act based on experience in the future. Seeing the pretty princess's flustered look, he quickly straightened his face and said, "Ninth Princess, don't misunderstand. I was just a little surprised, I never intended to blame you!"
