Chapter 149: Doubts
When Diwu Qingrou got up, she was immediately informed that the first throne of the Golden Horse Knights Hall had been waiting in the study for more than an hour, while Lord Gao, Lord Han, and Lord Cheng had also been waiting for quite some time.
Diwu Qingrou slightly furrowed her brows, leisurely finished her breakfast, and then made her way to the study.
This is Diwu Qingrou; she always believed that no matter how significant the matter, one must not lose composure. Whatever needs to be done should be done, allowing time for careful contemplation. Decisions cannot be made hastily!
Rushed decisions always lead to mistakes!
And Diwu Qingrou would never allow herself to make even the slightest error!
Upon seeing Diwu Qingrou enter the study, the four people inside stood up simultaneously: "Lord Xiang!"
"Mm, please sit." Diwu Qingrou smiled and nodded, walked to her seat, slowly sat down, and then said, "Jing Wangzuo, what matter has caused you to lose your composure? This is truly the first time in all these years."
Opposite her was an elderly man in his sixties, appearing scholarly and refined, with a fair complexion, gray hair, and beard, and eyes filled with calm wisdom, resembling a learned Confucian scholar. At first glance, no one would think that this seemingly kind-hearted old man was Jing Menghun, the first throne of the Golden Horse Knights Hall and a ninth rank King Level expert.
With ač¦ē¬, Jing Menghun said, "The news was sudden, and I was caught off guard, leading to concern and confusion."
"Oh? Concern and confusion? Is it news about the Shadow Throne?" Diwu Qingrou slowly picked up her teacup, gently blowing off the tea leaves on the surface, she softly said, "What has Yin Wufa encountered?"
Han Buchu and the others showed expressions of admiration. Diwu Qingrou might not have known what was happening, but just from the meeting, she deduced that something must have happened to Yin Wufa; this sharp intuition and deductive ability are rare among others!
"The news has come that Yin Wufa has been gravely injured and is on the brink of death!" Jing Menghun took a deep breath, his expression heavy, and said, "He fought a decisive battle with Chu King of Hell on Chang Street, and both were seriously injured!"
"Chu King of Hell?! He had a direct battle with Yin Wufa and both got injured?" Diwu Qingrou's expression finally changed as she stopped blowing at the tea leaves, deep in thought, "Chu King of Hell is capable of such feats?"
The other three also showed puzzled expressions; even Jing Menghun's face had a hint of frustration.
Although Chu King of Hell was mysterious, no one had anticipated before that he would possess the capability to confront Yin Wufa directly!
Yin Wufa was a sixth rank throne expert!
"This letter was written by Yin Wufa with great effort." Jing Menghun took out a piece of paper, stained with splatters of blood. Just looking at this letter, one could imagine how severe Yin Wufa's injuries were!
Diwu Qingrou did not immediately take the letter but frowned, "How could Yin Wufa, despite being gravely injured, write this himself? Did the two martial sovereigns who accompanied him perish? Does he have no one else by his side?"
"No, it's simply that the real Chu King of Hell is fundamentally different from the intelligence we had!" Jing Menghun said helplessly, "We were all deceived by Chu King of Hell! Not a single piece of information about him is true!"
"All fake?" Diwu Qingrou finally nodded, and Han Buchu took the letter and handed it to Diwu Qingrou.
"Brother is above..." From this first sentence, it was clear that this letter was written by Yin Wufa to Jing Menghun.
"I am in Iron Cloud, facing life and death; but... the enemy is cunning; if it falls into the hands of others, the truth will be difficult to convey." Just the first sentence made Diwu Qingrou's expression heavy.
"Chu Liaowu is extremely cunning; the world believes Chu Liaowu to be a youth, but does not know his true identity should be..." Yin Wufa detailed the appearance of the Black Demon throne expert that Chu Yang had told him about, compiling all the bits and pieces.
