"That’s how it is."

She said, looking confused, "Yue Ning and I... Today we went to Burial Dragon Mountain, and there is a temple on the mountain. I met Xiao Qinghe there."

She recounted the events again, still full of doubt.

"He talked to me about collaborating with a tiger, where exactly did those Silver Moon Crescent Guards responsible for protecting me come from? Somehow, he seems to know something, and he implied that this is very dangerous, as if he’s advising me to back out quickly."

Reflecting on Qinghe’s attitude at the time, Dong Huiying made such a guess.

"He might have misunderstood, thinking those people were my subordinates."

But even if they’re not her subordinates, they’re related to her, arranged by the men in the family.

Zhi Chen furrowed his eyebrows, suddenly looking ahead.

"Yixuan he..."

"Hmm?"

"He might be playing a big game."

Dong Huiying: "???"

Zhi Chen pondered for a while. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Looks like I need to leave for a while, go ahead and scout the path for them."

Dong Huiying suddenly got nervous, "Where are you going?"

Zhi Chen chuckled gently, "Don’t be nervous, I’m just going to the Golden Triangle for a while. Although the situation with the Eighth Princess is uncertain, Dayuan’s national affairs have stabilized. Previously, they fought with Dajin, and Dayuan was defeated repeatedly. If I’m correct, soon the Empress and Ninth Princess will launch an attack against Dajin, and the situation is bound to be chaotic again."

He lovingly patted her head, telling her something.

"The Silver Moon Crescent Guards you mentioned are Yixuan’s people."

They always knew that Chuixue Manor seemed like a trinket, the so-called Top One Villa In the World was more like Yixuan’s whim, created from boredom.

Previously, Yixuan clearly lived in Dongdi but didn’t understand the situation here; he must have another main occupation, which he never mentioned to anyone.

And today, Xiao Qinghe’s remark about ’collaborating with a tiger’ made Zhi Chen realize something.

"Those Silver Moon Crescent Guards, both men and women, have ties with Fengsu, and although Fengsu is the Second Prince of Dayuan, he grew up in Dajin..."

So, the most likely conjecture is that Yixuan’s main focus over the years has been on Dajin.

He also recalled when his wife had the Resurgence and Miao Qing attacked, nearly resulting in a major battle, which was ultimately resolved peacefully.

But at the time, Miao Qing mentioned a surname, Yuwen.

The Yuwen’s house, which controls Dajin from behind the scenes, belonged to the mother of the six brothers, who is now in Dajin.

Back then, the brothers had different thoughts and didn’t pay attention to Yixuan’s expression.

But later, after Miao Qing left, Zhi Chen remembered his Premonition Dreams. These dreams seemed to be connected to the Devouring God Gu after he drank Dong Huiying’s blood.

Yixuan once mentioned wanting to recall the past, but this never had a conclusion, and soon his wife was separated from us due to Resurgence.

Nevertheless, Zhi Chen managed to guess some things.

"Back when Yixuan ran away from home, I speculate that he might have obtained some clues, so Chuixue Manor might have been to cover for him, or it was just a trinket created casually. His real direction is to ally with Fengsu and focus on attacking Dajin."

...

The fiery clouds reddened half the sky, and as dusk approached, the guys who had gone out started coming back one by one.

Yixuan was the last to return.

Zhi Chen brought up Dong Huiying’s chance encounter with Xiao Qinghe on the mountain during the day, and instantly, the atmosphere turned tense.
