Chapter 150: Diwu Qingrou's Judgment
Jing Menghun felt a chill in his heart and quickly nodded in agreement. Just a moment ago, he was contemplating how, no matter the cost, he would rescue his third brother while simultaneously assassinating the Chu King of Hell to avenge him; however, Diwu Qingrou's words made him abandon that thought.
"If it were a normal time, it would have been done, but now is an extraordinary moment and it's not wise to create unnecessary complications," Diwu Qingrou smiled and said, "One must understand that schemes like using a knife to kill or misleading others are familiar tactics for both sides."
At this point, Diwu Qingrou suddenly paused and swiftly said, "Indeed... If that's the case..." She abruptly stood up and began pacing in the study, her brows furrowed as she softly murmured, "... using a knife to kill, misleading others..."
After repeating it again and again, it seemed as if her words inspired a spark of insight within her. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "That's it! It must be so!"
"If that's the case... then the boy that Yin Wufa couldn't capture is the key!" Diwu Qingrou clenched her left fist, her eyes shining with brilliance, then sighed deeply, "I hope I'm wrong; if I'm not, then Yin Wufa might have missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Gao Sheng's mind was racing, "Lord Xiang is saying... that boy captured by the shadow throne..."
"That boy... is very likely the real Chu King of Hell!" Diwu Qingrou's expression darkened as she spoke slowly.
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire study fell silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief! Even Diwu Qingrou herself, while thinking it, felt startled when she voiced it out loud!
"Let’s make a hypothesis; suppose this is a random act of framing... then who possesses such cunning and means? But if we assume that boy is indeed the Chu King of Hell, then all subsequent matters would become clear." Diwu Qingrou suddenly turned to Gao Sheng and said, "Young Master Gao, you once mentioned that heirs from various major families came out for training. Since some have come to our Great Zhao, it’s possible that others have gone to Iron Cloud!"
Diwu Qingrou usually addressed Gao Sheng directly, but at this moment, she unexpectedly called him ‘Young Master Gao’. Gao Sheng nodded calmly in response.
"If it’s truly the case, then Yin Wufa has fallen for the Chu King of Hell’s trap! He’s been framed, and I’m afraid the trouble is not small!"
Diwu Qingrou sighed, "I really want to know who the throne expert confronting Yin Wufa is... which family do they belong to?"
The other four were stunned by this news, their eyes wide as they felt a blankness in their minds. Even Jing Menghun, a Ninth Grade Throne expert, felt as if struck by lightning!
If the situation were indeed as such, it would be a tremendous joke to have captured the Chu King of Hell only to let him slip away easily? Moreover, they might have provoked a powerful enemy from a super noble family!?
Could it be that this Chu King of Hell was clever to such an extent?
"This is troublesome; not only do we need to send the originally planned people, we must also increase our manpower." Diwu Qingrou turned to Jing Menghun, "Jing Throne, you must oversee the overall situation and cannot act rashly; let Kong Throne take a few White Horse Knights on a trip."
Seeing Jing Menghun open his mouth to speak, she waved her hand to interrupt, "This matter, the Fourth Throne absolutely cannot go! He and Yin Wufa are brothers. If he goes, the situation will only worsen. Up to now, given the misunderstandings, both sides have suffered, which can still be explained, or if explained well, there’s a chance to turn enemies into friends. But if a scene erupts again, then everything will truly be irreversible."
Jing Menghun sighed. The Fourth Throne, Yin Wutian, had caused a huge uproar after hearing this matter, insisting on personally going to rescue his brother and avenge the Chu King of Hell. But at Diwu Qingrou’s side, this possibility was completely dismissed before it was even voiced.
