"While my mind was racing, Shi Fei Daoren tried to dissuade him, 'Our layout this time wasn't aimed at Ye Yang and Li Po in the first place. It was purely an accident that they broke in. I don't think Li Chunfeng will delve too deeply into it, will he?'"

"It would have been better if Shi Fei Daoren hadn't tried to dissuade him. His words were just adding fuel to the fire."

"Wen Yilei said in a great rage, 'Is Li Chunfeng a reasonable person?'"

"'He's the secret commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Most of the time, the Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't reason with you when they do things. Besides, we're the ones in the wrong in this matter!'"

"'Do you think we can cover things up?'"

"'How are we going to cover it up? Kill Li Po too? Kill everyone from Liangjie Tang?'"

"'If we really did that, Li Chunfeng would lead the Embroidered Uniform Guard to perish together with the Coffin Gate. Do you believe that?'"

"Shi Fei Daoren asked, puzzled, 'Old Liu, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!'"

"Wen Yilei said in a deep voice, 'The trip to Xianyang River was a grand scheme jointly arranged by Xie Bangui and Wang Hun. You know that.'"

"'They deliberately collected the Qi of the Nine Sons and brought it into Xianyang River in order to allow the Emperor's Qi to take shape here, lure out the Chess Master Yi Tian, and besiege him in Xianyang River.'"

"'The so-called army of ten thousand ghosts and gods issued in the city is actually the Imperial Guard of Xie Bangui and Wang Hun.'"

"'This process was originally led by Bei Yan Jingyun. There was no need to look for the Luan family's map at all.'"

"'With the Bei Yan siblings as the starting point, everything could be resolved. However, we all miscalculated Jing Henyun.'"

"'We never expected that this Jing Henyun would set her sights on Liangjie Tang. She's truly gone mad. Does she think she can casually manipulate Liangjie Tang, which even the Reincarnation Division wouldn't dare to touch easily?'"

"'It's simply the height of stupidity.'"

"Wen Yilei cursed, 'Li Po and Ye Yang getting involved is a foregone conclusion. None of us can change it.'"

"'However, I reminded Xiao Yu to find an opportunity to explain the matter clearly to Li Po and have him cooperate with us in acting.'"

"'But, where is Xiao Yu? Why haven't you told Li Po the truth?'"

"Wen Yilei became more and more angry as he spoke, 'I deliberately reminded Li Po on the boat: Be careful of Zhu Xiaoyu. It's not like you didn't hear it, and it's not like you didn't have the opportunity to reveal your identity to Li Po. Why didn't you do it?'"

"'Would things get more and more complicated if you explained earlier?'"

"Shi Fei Daoren looked at Zhu Xiaoyu and said, 'Xiaoyu, that's your fault.'"

"'I thought you had already explained everything to Li Po clearly, that's why he was the first to attack the Bei Yan siblings. Why didn't you make things clear?'"

"Hearing this, I understood many things."

"The various factions of the術道 (Shu Dao, the world of esoteric arts) were ready to make trouble, and the Coffin Gate wouldn't wait for the situation to develop. They had already been secretly planning."

"Wen Yilei had been wandering the Jianghu (martial world) more than twenty years ago, which means that the Coffin Gate had been arranging things in the Jianghu for at least twenty years, or even longer."

"Now, it was time for the Coffin Gate to launch its offensive."

"As for Zhu Xiaoyu's identity, it was even easier to explain."

"Someone could get Jiang Wuyou to go to the Coffin Gate as an undercover agent, almost using Tian Dan to stir up dissatisfaction in the Jianghu."

"Why couldn't the Coffin Gate send its own people to other places as undercover agents?"

"I even suspected that Xie Bangui had long known that there was an undercover agent in the sect, and even knew what Tian Dan had been doing in the Jianghu. He had been enduring it all along, just to avoid exposing the undercover agents that the Coffin Gate had placed elsewhere."

"What if Zhu Xiaoyu was Zhu Zining's niece?"

"In undercover operations and secret wars, anyone, any identity, could be the other side's nail. Even a biological son could be the other side's spy, let alone a niece?"

"However, the Coffin Gate's move was indeed brilliant!"

"Zhu Xiaoyu said in a low voice, 'I... I thought that Li Po couldn't see through Master's layout.'"

"'Master likes Li Po so much. I feel that he's not as good as senior brother. I thought that in the end, I would let Li Po know Master's grand scheme and give him a shock.'"

"'Nonsense!' Wen Yilei was so angry that he was about to explode. 'Don't think I don't know what you're thinking?'"

"'You have a good relationship with both Zi Wan'er and Tian Dan, and you treat Jiang Junci as your own brother.'"

"'As a result, of the three of them, one died in Li Po's hands, one suffered a great loss at Li Po's place, and one simply joined Liangjie Tang and became Li Po's subordinate.'"

"'Although most of these were arranged by your master, you are not reconciled.'"

"'You can't touch Li Po, but you want to embarrass him. That's why you haven't told him the truth all along. Am I right?'"

"Zhu Xiaoyu didn't speak."

"Wen Yilei was furious: 'Do you think Li Po didn't see anything?'"

"'From the moment he asked Wu Fei at the funeral home: Is he related to Jing Henyun, he had already begun to suspect.'"

"'However, the direction of his suspicion has gone astray. He regards you as someone from Chess Master Yi Tian.'"

"Wen Yilei said angrily, 'What's this place called?'"

"'It's called Xianyang River!'"

"'The place name clashes with Ye Yang!'"

"'If Li Po feels that Ye Yang is in danger, do you think that with Li Po's character, he will abide by the agreement and not attack anyone?'"

"'Once Li Po feels something is wrong, he would rather be killed by ghosts and gods than save Ye Yang. You...'"

"Zhu Xiaoyu said, 'I have studied Li Po's style. He shouldn't be able to see through Master's plan!'"
