When the Fifth Elder heard this, his chest rose and fell, his teeth clenched, his hands clenched into fists, and he tried his best to endure. He had never thought that one day he, the elders, would be suppressed by a yellow-haired girl. How could he swallow this breath?

The fourth elder at the side stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Just now you saw the clan leader's skills. Do you think anyone in our generation can beat her? The second elder was powerless under her hands."

The fifth elder sneered: "Ha! She is just taking advantage of someone's misfortune. If it were a normal competition, she would definitely not be the opponent!"

Just as he finished speaking, a silver needle passed by his ear with a "whoosh". He felt a slight pain on his cheek and reached out to touch it, and there was already blood.

The fifth elder pointed at Chu Qianyu and said angrily: "What are you doing? Now you want to control even what we say? You are meddling too much."

Chu Qianyu stood up and walked to the Fifth Elder. She looked at him and chuckled nonchalantly, "I just felt that the Fifth Elder didn't seem to hear what I just said, so I just gave him a reminder. How come the Fifth Elder now also thinks that I am not qualified for the position of clan leader?"

"You...I..." He was so angry that he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The fourth elder at the side quickly pulled the man back and said, "Clan leader, the fifth elder has always had a good relationship with the second elder. It is inevitable that he feels sad when he suddenly sees that the second elder is gone. That's why he spoke a little hastily. I hope you don't mind."

After hearing this, Chu Qianyu looked at the Fifth Elder and said, "Since you have a good relationship with the Second Elder, why don't you consider seeking revenge? If you want, I will accompany you."

After a while, the Fifth Elder seemed to calm down. Whoever had a good relationship with the Second Elder was just superficial. He was angry just now because a group of people had to listen to a yellow-haired girl.

But today he won't be the first to speak out.

So he looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "No need. It's because the Second Elder is not as skilled as others."

After hearing what he said, Chu Qianyu's eyes became deep as if she could see through people. Then she said "Hmm." and walked away.

He looked at the Second Elder's lineage and said, "Now that the Second Elder has passed away, the Second Elder's descendants can go to the training ground to train for a year, and the winner can come back and succeed the Second Elder."

The second elder's wife, Changsun, had fainted from anger a while ago. In this situation, his son Situ Jin had no choice but to step forward and say, "Yes, clan leader. We will arrange for everyone to go to the training ground as soon as possible in the next few days."

"Well, do you have anything else to say? If not, let's disperse." Chu Qianyu said.

After everyone had left, only the Third Elder and Mo Yinan remained.

Chu Qianyu walked up to the Third Elder and said, "Third Uncle, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

The third elder shook his head and said, "It's okay. You've suffered. Alas!"

The two chatted for a while, and after sending Uncle San away, Chu Qianyu looked at Mo Yinan who was standing beside her and raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why is the Regent so free today?"

"After all, the Situ family is deeply involved with the royal family. The emperor asked me to investigate the Situ family incident this time. So it is normal for me to come and watch the ceremony."

"But it was worth my trip, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see how the Situ clan leader deals with his clan members so decisively and efficiently." Mo Yinan looked at Chu Qianyu and seemed to remember the scene when she killed the second elder just now.

It caught him off guard. But thinking about it, it was normal. She didn't do things according to any rules.

Chu Qianyu still had a cold face and no expression. "I have to thank the Regent for his praise. I just wonder if the Regent has found anything these days? Is there any clue?"

Mo Yinan's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Although nothing has been found out yet, he could vaguely guess that this might not be a simple family feud, but might involve someone from the royal family. As for who it is, he still has no idea.

So he said apologetically, "If possible, I would like to investigate this case with Patriarch Situ. This way, the investigation will surely be faster if both inside and outside cooperate. What do you think?"

"Yes, sure." Chu Qianyu agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, in that case, if you have any news, send someone to the Regent's Palace to tell me. I will also inform you as soon as I have any news."

Chu Qianyu nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he looked at the time and it was getting late. He should not stay out for too long, so he continued, "If the Regent has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

After saying that, he slightly turned his body and prepared to leave.

Mo Yinan quickly blocked the person and looked down at her wrist and asked, "Where's the bracelet?"

"Ah?" Chu Qianyu was stunned for a moment and didn't react. Then she looked at her wrist and saw that there was no decoration. Then she remembered that when she was still Situ Yue, Mo Yinan gave her a bracelet and said it was very suitable for her. Coincidentally, she also liked it.

I just took it and put it on. But now the bracelet is still on Situ Yue.

Thinking of this, she pinched her brows. Before she could speak.

Mo Yinan asked directly: "What nonsense are you thinking of making up?"

Chu Qianyu was full of doubts. How did he see that? But Mo Yinan seemed to know what she was thinking. He looked at her and said, "You always pinch your brows when you don't know what to say. After that, nothing you said was credible. So tell me the truth about the bracelet?"

Then, as if she remembered something, she was a little bit unconvinced, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened. However, seeing that her movements were the same as before, her heartbeat slowed down a little.

I only heard Chu Qianyu say: "The bracelet is lost. But you didn't notice it was loose. If you find it again in the future, just buy a new one. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Mo Yinan's eyes flickered as he said, "Well, forget it if you lose it. I'll sell it to you next time I see it."

"Okay. Anything else?"

Mo Yinan shook his head and turned his body slightly, then he saw Chu Qianyu walking over impatiently.

He sighed helplessly and then returned to the Regent's Palace.

He walked straight to the study, took out the drawing paper on which he had drawn the bracelet, and then took out another piece of paper and wrote the required materials on it.

He called Qingfeng in and handed him the paper he had just written, saying, "Purchase according to what is written on it."

"Yes." Qingfeng agreed and prepared to go out.

Before he even reached the door, he heard his master say again, "As soon as possible!"

Qingfeng quickly agreed, opened the door and walked out.

After he walked out, he realized something and muttered, "These materials should be for women, why does the master suddenly want them? Weird..."

Chu Qianyu returned to her yard and looked at the familiar scene. Although she had been away from here for only over half a month, she felt a little strange when she came back this time.

He said to the servants, "Go and pack up and move all my things to Fuguang Tower outside the city."

"Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a familiar breath coming from behind her. She stood there quietly without moving.

Sure enough, the next moment he was hugged by a figure.

"Sister! You are finally back. I have been away for the past few days. I just came back and heard that the clan leader is back. I... woooo~" Ming Zixi hugged Chu Qianyu and started crying. It seemed that she wanted to cry out all the worries, fears and grievances she had suffered during these days.
