Chen Qiyu was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Sister, what you said makes sense. Although Zhou Xiangbei is difficult to deal with, his mind is still easy to figure out. And Su Yuchen is an unpredictable person, we really need to be more careful."

Ye Guyan looked at the two grown-up children and felt very relieved. She knew that the two children were extremely smart and could see the situation clearly and make the right judgment. She patted Chen Shuyin's shoulder and said, "Good children, I am very relieved that you can see the situation clearly. So how should we deal with it next?"

Chen Shuyin pondered for a moment and said, "We need to keep a close eye on Su Yuchen's movements and strengthen the defense of the mansion. In addition, we also need to find out what Su Yuchen's purpose is."

Chen Qiyu also added: “Yes, we also need to strengthen our ties with allies such as Zhou Jianghe to jointly deal with possible crises.”

Ye Guyan nodded after hearing this: "Good kids, you have thought it through very carefully. Just follow your plan."

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds and onto the martial arts training grounds of the twelve flag masters. On the grounds, the elites of each flag were sweating profusely, and the sounds of swords, spears, and halberds clashing and shouting were heard one after another. However, this harmonious scene was soon broken.

Chen Qiyu, dressed in black, walked through the martial arts training ground expressionlessly, heading straight for Chu Xuanhao's position. His steps were firm, his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to tear apart all obstacles. Everyone stopped their training, and their eyes turned to this uninvited guest.

Chu Xuanhao was sitting in a pavilion nearby, sipping tea leisurely with a barely perceptible smile on his face. He seemed to have anticipated Chen Qiyu's arrival, but he did not show the slightest panic.

"Chen Qiyu, why are you running around instead of attending training?" Chu Xuanhao put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Chen Qiyu, with a teasing tone in his voice.

However, Chen Qiyu did not respond to his teasing, but directly grabbed Chu Xuanhao's collar, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He stared at Chu Xuanhao's eyes and asked word by word: "Did you arrange for someone to assassinate us in Jiuyou Mountain yesterday?"

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. For a moment, the entire martial arts training ground was silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Qiyu and Chu Xuanhao, waiting for the next development.

However, facing Chen Qiyu's questioning, Chu Xuanhao just smiled sinisterly and asked back: "Oh? Do you have any evidence?"

Chen Qiyu snorted coldly, loosened his grip on Chu Xuanhao's collar, took a step back, and said in a deep voice: "The captain you sent out has confessed that he was appointed by you. Do you still want to deny it?"

Chu Xuanhao heard this, but the smile on his face did not disappear. He said lightly: "I did send a team of people to Jiuyou Mountain, but I only asked them to shoot the escaped criminals. How did I know you would be there?"

"Still quibbling!" Chen Qiyu's eyes widened with anger, his hands clenched into fists, as if he would strike Chu Xuanhao at any time. He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and then continued: "Our people were ambushed by your men in Jiuyou Mountain, and fortunately they were helped by others to escape. And your captain has personally admitted that you assigned them to Jiuyou Mountain!"

Chu Xuanhao's expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He shook his head gently and sighed, "Chen Qiyu, you misunderstood me. The people I sent didn't know you would be in Jiuyou Mountain, and it was even more impossible for them to deliberately assassinate you. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Chen Qiyu sneered, "Your captain admitted it himself, could this be false?"

"People's words are scary." Chu Xuanhao sighed, "Perhaps my captain was bewitched by someone and said such words."

The conversation between the two made everyone present feel a tense atmosphere. They held their breath and concentrated, afraid of missing any details. The dispute also attracted the attention of other flag owners, who stopped their training and gathered around.

"Chu Xuanhao, you'd better stop quibbling!" Chen Qiyu roared, "What you did has seriously violated our rules. You must pay the price for this!"

"Oh? Then in your opinion, how should I pay the price?" Chu Xuanhao's tone was still calm, as if he didn't take Chen Qiyu's threat to heart.

"This..." Chen Qiyu was caught off guard by Chu Xuanhao's question. He widened his eyes and stared at Chu Xuanhao, trying to read something from his expression. But Chu Xuanhao always had that unfathomable smile on his face, making it impossible to guess his true thoughts.

"Chen Qiyu, I know you are very angry now." Chu Xuanhao said slowly, "But please believe me, I have not done anything to harm you. If you are willing, we can investigate the truth of this matter together."

"The truth? What truth is there to find out?" Chen Qiyu roared, "Your captain has already admitted it, how long do you want to deny it?"

Chu Xuanhao's expression did not change much in the face of Chen Qiyu's accusation, and he was still calm and composed. He spoke slowly, his voice revealing a neither humble nor arrogant temperament: "Okay, Chen Qiyu, you actually think that I ordered those assassins to assassinate you, then call the so-called captain and we will confront him face to face."

Chu Xuanhao's words made the originally aggressive Chen Qiyu speechless. Yesterday, in order to vent his anger, he had already executed all the killers in anger. Now where is there any witness? Chen Qiyu's face changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Seeing Chen Qiyu fall silent, Chu Xuanhao knew that his words had hit the opponent's soft spot. He smiled contemptuously, patted Chen Qiyu's shoulder provocatively, and said in a bad tone: "Chen Qiyu, if you dare to throw dirty water on me without evidence again, I will kill you."

When Chen Qiyu heard this, he could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He widened his eyes and stared at Chu Xuanhao fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive. However, Chu Xuanhao looked at him fearlessly, with a proud look on his face.

"With you?" Chen Qiyu asked back, unwilling to be outdone, "Who do you think you are?"

"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Chu Xuanhao responded coldly, his eyes full of confidence and arrogance.

The two people's eyes collided fiercely in the air, as if sparks could be created. The air around them seemed to solidify because of this, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.
