Nangong Shifeng said, "When the Law Sovereign arrived, the nine great clans completely sealed the city gates. We couldn't get close at all. The news that Bu Zhizun entered Heaven's Secret City was something nobody mentioned; it was only accidentally leaked by a master of the Zhuge family today that everyone suddenly learned about it. It’s not that we didn’t try our best."
Nangong Shifeng thought Chu Yang was blaming him for the late information and hurriedly explained.
This wasn’t about the nine great clans keeping secrets; it was more about preserving the face of the nine great families and the Law Sovereign. Those who knew about Bu Liqing stopping the Law Sovereign and the supreme masters of the nine great clans saw it as honorable, but in this world… most people remain unaware.
When it reached the ears of ordinary martial artists, it was inevitable that they'd think, "The nine great clans and the Law Sovereign were suppressed by Bu Liqing alone…"
This would be a huge blow to the reputation of the nine great clans and the dignity of the enforcers.
Thus, they kept it a secret.
Chu Yang quickly interrupted Nangong Shifeng’s explanation: "What I’m asking is, did Bu Zhizun come alone, or with others? Or did he bring someone along?"
Nangong Shifeng was taken aback, not understanding why Chu Yang cared about such minor details, but he quickly replied: "I heard that Bu Zhizun came with a disciple, a little girl dressed in red. It’s said that Bu Zhizun blocked the entrance to demand a meeting gift from the Law Sovereign and the supreme masters of the nine great clans… haha…”
At this point, Nangong Shifeng found the situation rather amusing and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Bu Zhizun is really ungracious.”
However, when he heard the phrase "Bu Zhizun brought a disciple, a little girl in red," Chu Yang's mind was suddenly shaken, and a deep sense of longing surged within him.
He didn't even hear what Nangong Shifeng continued to say and became lost in thought.
Nangong Shifeng spoke a few more sentences but saw that Chu Yang had no reaction, so he had to get up and leave out of boredom.
Chu Yang remained silent and still until Nangong Shifeng had been gone for quite a while. Then, he opened his eyes and quickly asked, "Where are they staying?"
But no one answered. When he focused his gaze, he realized there was no trace of Nangong Shifeng.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that this guy must have left when he saw him dazed.
But he thought it unnecessary to ask. With Nangong Shifeng's abilities, it would be unreasonable for him to have discovered where Bu Liqing was staying…
Chu Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Wu, you’ve come.
You finally came! I will get to see you again!
Chu Yang felt excited.
Even though he constantly reminded himself to stay calm, he was still overwhelmed with emotions and felt his entire body heating up. His face flushed, and he suddenly stood up, pacing back and forth in the room.
Looking at the deep night sky, he couldn’t help but feel an impulse: to immediately find Mo Qingwu. What does my little Wu look like now?
He imagined that when Mo Qingwu saw him, she would surely leap forward, her tender arms encircling his neck, sweetly calling out, "Brother Chu Yang, I miss you so much"…
Chu Yang couldn’t help but smile blissfully from the bottom of his heart.
Unable to control his feelings any longer, he pushed open the door and stepped outside.
The cold wind hit his face, startling Chu Yang and making him stop suddenly.
His desire to see Mo Qingwu was indeed very strong. He believed that Xiao Wu was also very eager to see him. But if he met Mo Qingwu now, the little girl would surely cling to him.
While he didn’t have to worry about it hindering him in any way, the people from the nine great clans would definitely recognize Mo Qingwu.
If they found out that he was so close to Mo Qingwu, and there was also a Bu Liqing involved… would they doubt his plans for the next few days… or change anything?
