When the restaurant manager Gao heard the noise, he quickly sent a servant out to check.

Dahua happened to pass by the lobby. After asking the reason, she took the servant to the door.

"Who are you? Don't make any noise in front of Zui Xiang Lou."

Dahua looked at the people in front of her, recognized Dongfang Qingmo and Chunhua Qiushi, and said happily, "Second Young Master!"

Dongfang Qingmo waved his hand. He had to avenge his grudge on the spot. "Dahua, they said we were too poor to eat at Zui Xiang Lou."

Qian Shuishui looked at the two people opposite provocatively, "Hey, did you hear that? You are so arrogant."

Ikeno: "You must have colluded!"

"Are your eyes okay? We haven't gone in yet." Qian Shuishui rolled her eyes.

These two people seem to have something wrong with their brains.

Dahua understood the whole story and said to Chi Ye and Peng Qinqin with a smile, "My two guests, we are open for business at Zui Xiang Lou. Everyone who comes is a guest, regardless of their wealth. If you think our food is expensive, you don't have to order our signature dishes."

Dongfang Qingmo praised Dahua for her awesomeness.

After hearing this, Chi Ye's face turned green and red, "Who said that? We can afford it."

After saying that, he pulled Peng Qinqin in.

Dahua stopped him again, "My dear guests, our restaurant opens at twilight hour, so there's still half an hour left!"

Qian Shuishui covered her face and laughed secretly, "You can't get in."

Peng Qinqin was dissatisfied, "We can't go in, but you can go in?!"

"Do you want to go to the clinic to treat your ears?" Dongfang Qingmo didn't want to waste time talking to her anymore.

Chunchun is seriously ill.

Dahua: "This is my second son, so of course he can go in."

Chi Ye and Peng Qinqin stood there, not knowing whether to go in or leave, feeling very embarrassed.

At this time, a carriage came hurriedly and stopped in front of Zui Xiang Lou.

The curtain of the carriage opened, and a man in luxurious clothes walked down, followed by several followers.

The man frowned slightly when he saw Peng Qinqin, then quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words to her.

Ikeno could hear it clearly even though he was close by.

Peng Qinqin's expression turned very ugly, and she glared at Qian Shuishuihuo and Dongfang Qingmo fiercely.

Chi Ye said harshly, "Qian Shuishui, in five days, I will make you pay."

Then he turned around with Peng Qinqin, got on the carriage and left.

"It seems that someone is more anxious to leave than us." Qian Shuishui said with a smile.

He didn't care about Ikeno's words at all.

"Shui Shui, he won't do anything to you, right?"

Dongfang Qingmo was a little worried. He was the former number one on the list, and Shui Shui was number three, which meant he had beaten her once before.

Don't offend people and don't use dirty tricks during a fight.

"It's okay, just stop there, he won't dare to do anything! Okay, forget about them, let's go in first." Qian Shuishui said, and walked into Zuixianglou with Dongfang Qingmo.

-

After getting on the carriage, Peng Qinqin asked worriedly, "Brother, is it true that we detected the aura of evil power from Elder Lu?"

The person who came was Peng Qinqin's senior brother, Yang Wei.

He is not only Peng Qinqin's senior brother, but also the closed disciple of Peng Qinqin's father.

Yang Wei looked at Chi Ye, wanting to say something but stopping himself, because he knew that Chi Ye was not from the Yanhuo Sect.

Chi Ye noticed Yang Wei's gaze, touched his nose, and took the initiative to say: "Brother Yang Wei, please put me down here. I have other things to deal with."

"Okay!" Yang Wei replied.

Peng Qinqin looked at Chi Ye gratefully and said, "Brother Chi Ye, I will go to watch your competition!"

Ikeno smiled at her, then got out of the car and turned to leave.

Yang Wei sighed, turned to Peng Qinqin and said, "Qinqin, Master is on the way. He will probably arrive in another hour."

Peng Qinqin asked in surprise, "Father is coming?!" Yang Wei nodded, "Yes, Master Xiao and the elders of other sects are judging Elder Lu and the others. Let's go over there quickly."

Peng Qinqin urged anxiously: "There's no time to lose, let's go quickly!"

When the two arrived, the room was already surrounded by elders from various sects, each with a solemn expression on their face.

Huangfu Yi leaned against the wall holding his sword. His eyes were cold and deep, as if he was indifferent to everything around him.

Peng Qinqin saw him at a glance, and a surge of joy and anticipation surged in her heart.

She walked quickly to Huangfu Yi and said softly, "Brother Huangfu."

However, Huangfu Yi didn't even look at her, not even lifting his eyelids.

He said coldly, "Elder Yu, investigate her as well. Don't let anyone from the Flame Sect go."

When Peng Qinqin heard this, her face turned pale instantly.

She looked at Huangfu Yi in disbelief, her eyes filled with hurt and disappointment.

She said in a trembling voice: "Brother Huangfu, I am the Young Master of the Flame Sect. How could I possibly practice evil skills?! Even you don't believe me?"

Huangfu Yi still had no expression on his face, and seemed completely unmoved.

His tone was cold and ruthless: "Let's check first."

Peng Qinqin stood there alone, tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Elder Lian and Yang Wei wanted to speak up for her, but now she is in the center of the storm, and the more they talk, the more confusing it will be. It would be better to let him investigate to prove her innocence.

Elder Yu walked up to Peng Qinqin, used his hands to move his internal energy into her body to investigate, and said, "I'm sorry."

After a while, Elder Yu retracted his inner strength and shook his head, "No."

Peng Qinqin looked at Huangfu Yi aggrievedly and asked with a sob, "Brother Huangfu, do you believe me now?"

Huangfu Yi did not respond to her, but just looked at her coldly.

Peng Qinqin spoke again unwillingly, "Brother Huangfu..."

"..."

Huangfu Yi frowned unhappily and winked at Elder Yu.

Why is this woman so haunting? Get rid of her quickly.

He looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

However, at this moment, Yang Wei stepped forward and cleverly pulled Peng Qinqin back, resolving the embarrassing situation.

Otherwise, the situation will really become deadlocked and difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Master Xiao and Dongfang Ti came in from another room in a hurry.

They looked anxious, as if they had something important to announce.

"Elder Lu has spoken." said Master Xiao.

Everyone gathered around and asked curiously, "What?"

"What did you say?"

Dongfang Ti took a deep breath and said, "The medicine Xu Jun took was brought back from the grassland by Elder Lu. He said it was sold to him by a businessman!"

His brows were furrowed and his expression was serious. The news made him a little worried.

Because the reliability of this news has yet to be verified. If it is true, then wouldn't Qingshui be walking into a tiger's mouth by heading to the grassland now??!

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ti was extremely anxious and decided to send someone to investigate as soon as possible. However, he decided to go there himself.

Master Xiao then added, "The elders agreed to help Xu Jun disguise himself after receiving favors from Elder Lu, including this small bottle of medicine." He pulled a small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, "This is it. I found it on the elder. He hadn't had time to take it yet, so there's no scent on him."

Elder Yu breathed a sigh of relief, at least the people from his Lianlan Sect were innocent.

"You guys from the Fireworks Sect are such a mess, you dare to buy any medicine you want!" Elder Hu has been unhappy with Peng Qinqin for a long time. She tripped Qian Shuishui up during the competition, and now he has to get back at her when he gets the chance.

"You can't say that. You are going to kill all the people from the Flame Sect with one stroke!" Elder Lian was obviously unwilling to believe it, but he couldn't let Elder Hu say anything nonsense.

"What? Am I wrong? Everyone took this pill? Humph, I think it's you, the Flame Sect, who are causing trouble!" Elder Hu snorted coldly.

"Elder Hu, please don't make false statements without any evidence!" Elder Lian said angrily.

"Okay, stop talking. The most urgent thing is to find out the origin of this medicine." Master Xiao stopped them.

"I'll send someone to the grassland to investigate right away." Dongfang Ti said, and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Huangfu Yi suddenly said.

"Young Master Huangfu is going too? But..." Dongfang Ti was a little hesitant.

"One more person means more strength. Besides, I also want to get to the bottom of this matter." Huangfu Yi said.

He also wanted to find out who was trying to give him the cartilage powder.

The clues have been cut off at present with a northern barbarian, who had committed suicide by biting his tongue when he was found.

Elder Yu laughed bitterly, "Young Master!" You still want to participate in the competition!

Huangfu Yi said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance and cannot afford to make any mistakes."

He must go to the grassland this time, and he has planned to act alone.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Young Master Huangfu." Dongfang Ti nodded.

"Brother Huangfu..." Peng Qinqin wanted to say something again.

"Let's wait until after the competition to discuss this matter," Imperial Master Xiao interrupted. "I've already sent someone to investigate. We'll go together then."

Hearing this, Dongfang Ti hesitated a little, but finally nodded: "Okay..."

After all, Imperial Master Xiao had spoken, so he couldn't refuse to give him face. However, he had already made up his mind that as soon as he returned to his residence, he would immediately send a pigeon to Dongfang Qingshui, asking him to come back as soon as possible.

Time is running out, he hopes everything is still in time.

"Okay, you guys go back first. Everything will wait until the three sect leaders arrive. We will discuss and make any decisions later." Master Xiao waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

"Okay." Everyone nodded and left in an orderly manner.

After everyone had left, Imperial Preceptor Xiao walked over to Dongfang Ti, patted him gently on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Brother Dongfang, you need to pay more attention to the competition. You can't let the warriors and the people see any flaws, otherwise people will panic, which will be detrimental to your actions."

Dongfang Ti quickly clasped his fists in salute and replied solemnly, "Don't worry, Imperial Master Xiao, this is all within my responsibility. I will do my utmost to ensure the competition goes smoothly."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Two hours later, the leaders of the three sects gathered together.

"Brother Huangfu, Brother Qian, how are you?" Peng Shiyan smiled and bowed.

"Hmph..." Fatty Qian snorted unhappily. He had heard how Peng Shiyan's daughter treated his sister, and he was already feeling angry.

"I hope you are well." Huangfu Ji curled the corners of his mouth, with no expression on his face.

"Haha, let's go. Master Xiao and the others are waiting." Peng Shiyan touched his fat belly and said with a smile.

Fatty Qian glanced at his stomach and couldn't help but choked, "The food has been really good these past few years. I've eaten myself so much that I'm fat."

Huangfu Ji was not interested in listening to the two of them quarreling, so he quickly went into the house.

Peng Shiyan shrugged and said helplessly, "How about I use your name?"

"Bah, you're daydreaming. If you have the guts, let's fight!" Qian Pangpang's eyes were wide open, thinking to himself, you've eaten so much fat, let's see if you, a fat guy, can still fight me.

"As childish as ever. Let's go." Peng Shiyan waved his hand and followed him into the house.

"All the sect leaders are here." Master Xiao, as the representative of Qi Zhou Kingdom, greeted them.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Imperial Master Xiao coughed lightly and got straight to the point. "I'm sure everyone is familiar with the matter of the evil power. I called you all here today to discuss countermeasures."

"In my opinion, this evil skill must be the work of those northern barbarians!" Peng Shiyan spoke first, his tone tinged with anger. "It has absolutely nothing to do with our Yanhuo Sect."

Peng Shiyan tried his best to deny the connection.

He had already met Elder Lu and Xu Jun when he arrived.

Elder Lu told him everything, just asking to save him.

After all, they are from the same sect and are his direct subordinates. How can he not care? ! !

"Isn't this the work of your Elder Lu?!" Qian Pangpang felt that this matter was inextricably linked to the Flame Sect.

Peng Shiyan frowned and argued, "Impossible! The Northern Barbarians have ulterior motives. This time they must be trying to use this opportunity to stir up trouble and cause civil unrest!"

Imperial Preceptor Xiao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "But right now, we don't have any solid evidence to prove it was the Northern Barbarians. Furthermore, this evil skill is so strange, I'm afraid it's not something that ordinary people can master."

"No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death." Peng Shiyan said solemnly, "We must find a way to find the mastermind behind this, so that more people won't be implicated."

"I suggest sending a group of elite disciples to conduct investigations deep into the Northern Barbarian territory," Huangfu Ji suggested.

"That's a good idea," Qian Pangpang agreed. "However, we must be careful and cautious in this operation and must not alert the enemy."

"Well, I will select some powerful disciples to ensure the safety of this operation." Peng Shiyan nodded.

"Very good." Master Xiao said with satisfaction, "Then I'll have to trouble the three sect masters. In addition, I will send more people to assist you."

The four of them discussed and decided to take action immediately after the competition.

"Then..." Peng Shiyan rubbed his hands and said hesitantly, "How do you solve this problem, Elder Lu?"

After all, Elder Lu is also a member of their Yanhuo Sect, so as the sect leader, he still needs to consider how to deal with him.

Fatty Qian snorted coldly and said firmly, "He must be detained. He has evil spirits."

Obviously, Qian Pangpang was very dissatisfied with Elder Lu's behavior and believed that he had deviated from the right path.

Huangfu Ji nodded, agreeing with Qian Pangpang's opinion, and said, "All the elders will be detained as well."
