　　Three o’clock in the morning.
　　The　capital　city.
　　The　Bai　family.
　　Bai Yujing stayed in the study. He, who seldom smoked, actually lit a cigarette and started smoking.
　　He was waiting for the news of Ye Qiu’s death.
　　”Dong dong！”
　　There was a knock on the door, and then the butler’s voice sounded outside the door： “Young master, are you asleep？”
　　”Come in！” Bai Yujing’s spirit lifted, and there was some excitement between his brows.
　　He knew that the butler must be bringing news.
　　Soon, the door opened, and the butler walked in quickly. Suddenly, a pungent smell of smoke rushed into his nostrils.
　　”Young master, you should smoke less. It’s not good for your health.” The butler said with concern.
　　Bai Yujing stubbed out the cigarette butt and then asked, “How’s the situation？ Is Ye Qiu dead？”
　　The butler remained silent and didn’t answer.
　　”I’m asking you a question. Didn’t you hear？” Bai Yujing was a bit impatient.
　　The butler then said, “Young master, Ye Qiu isn’t dead.”
　　”Not dead？” Bai Yujing couldn’t believe it. “That’s impossible！ Leng Xue is the world’s number one killer, and his strength is beyond doubt.”
　　”The strength of the two ghosts from Tianchi is not weak either. Back then, when they competed for the Dragon Ranking, they only lost to the Tai Chi master Chen Daoling by half a move.”
　　”The three of them joined forces. Not to mention Ye Qiu, even the top five experts on the Dragon Ranking would only end up being killed. How could he not be dead？”
　　The butler said, “In fact, Ye Qiu really isn’t dead.”
　　Bai Yujing took out another cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff, asking, “What exactly happened？ Tell me.”
　　The butler said, “I don’t know the specific situation either. I only know that Leng Xue and the two ghosts from Tianchi have all been taken care of.”
　　”What？”
　　Bai Yujing’s face completely changed, and he asked, “Did Ye Qiu kill them？”
　　”I’m not sure.” The butler said, “I suspect someone supported Ye Qiu, but according to the report from the spy, there were only Tang Fei and Long Ye in the car, and there was no one else.”
　　”There is another possibility.”
　　The butler glanced at Bai Yujing and then continued, “Ye Qiu’s strength has increased greatly, and he took care of Leng Xue and the other two by himself.”
It’s impossible.” Bai Yujing said. “I know Ye Qiu’s back of my hand. His strength is only comparable to that of a Long Bang expert. Once he encounters a real Long Bang expert, he will only have a dead end.
　　According to what the young master said, then someone is helping Ye Qiu.” The butler said.”
　　Who could be helping Ye Qiu？” Bai Yujing frowned and said. “Could it be the people of Cao Yuan？
It shouldn’t be the people of Cao Yuan. I confirmed it in Yangcheng. Qinglong and Qilin are guarding beside Cao Yuan.” The butler said, “Could it be the Long eyebrow True Person of Longhu Mountain?”
Bai Yujing shook his head. “It won’t be Long.” I got accurate news that Long hasn’t left the customs yet.
　　Then who could it be？
　　In the study, there was a long silence.
　　The butler looked at Bai Yujing and hesitated to speak.
Bai Yujing keenly saw the butler’s micro-expression and asked, “Just say what you want to say!”
　　The butler said, “Young master, Cao Yuan has mobilized the underground forces in fourteen northern provinces, a total of 100,000 people. These people have already waited on the way for Ye Qiu to enter Beijing to escort him.”
　　When did this happen？ Why are you only telling me now？” On Bai Yujing’s face, besides shock, there was also a thick killing intent.”
　　I just got the news too.” The butler said.”
　　Pa！
　　Bai Yujing slapped the table and pointed at the butler, angrily scolding, “What are you good for？”
　　“Cao Yuan has mobilized the underground forces in fourteen northern provinces, a full one hundred thousand people. Such a big thing, and you only found out now. Are you a good-for-nothing？”
　　The butler lowered his head and said, “Sorry.”
　　“Just a word of sorry and it’s over？”
　　“Do you know how serious this matter is？”
　　“If Ye Qiu doesn’t die, it will affect my alliance with the Pei family and may also affect my grand plan to seek hegemony in the world.”
　　Bai Yujing continued to curse loudly, “We keep an army for a thousand days to use it for one moment. Who knew that at the critical moment, you actually became a useless waste. What use do I have for you？”
　　When the butler heard this sentence, his face instantly turned pale and he “thumped” to his knees on the ground, pleading for mercy and saying, “Young master, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not handling things well. Please give me a chance！”
　　Bai Yujing stared at the butler with cold eyes. It was only after a full half a minute that he let out a long sigh.
　　“Forget it. Things have come to this point. Blaming you is useless.”
　　“I should have thought of it earlier. Cao Yuan is good at laying out plans and always acts after careful consideration. He didn’t send Qinglong and Qilin to support Ye Qiu, so there should be some other backup plan.”
　　“I didn’t expect that for the sake of Ye Qiu, he would actually mobilize one hundred thousand Longmen disciples. It seems that I underestimated the importance of Ye Qiu in Cao Yuan’s heart.”
　　“Get up！”
　　The butler then stood up from the ground and said gratefully, “Thank you, young master.”
　　“Do you have any other situations to report？ If not, then go out！” Bai Yujing was in a bad mood.
　　“Master, there is another situation.” The butler said, “After the military saber, Ye Qiu was attacked by assassins again.”
　　“That pair of assassins are the famous Shura and Rakshasa on the world assassin rankings.”
　　“They weren’t sent by me.”
　　“Oh？”
　　Bai Yujing was a little surprised and asked, “That is to say, besides us, there are others who want to kill Ye Qiu？”
　　The butler nodded： “That should be the case.”
　　“Who could it be？” Bai Yujing narrowed his eyes and quickly thought in his mind.
　　He had investigated Ye Qiu’s information. Basically, all of Ye Qiu’s enemies had been dealt with by Ye Qiu, and there were only three possibilities left.
　　The first possibility is that the Witch God Sect wants to kill Ye Qiu.
　　The second possibility is that Xiao Qingdi wants to take revenge.
　　The third possibility is that the Pei family has made a move.
　　Bai Yujing quickly ruled out the first possibility. Because with the Witch God Sect’s style of doing things, if they wanted to kill Ye Qiu, they would most likely do it themselves. After all, there are many masters in the Witch God Sect.
　　Then, there are only the latter two possibilities left.
　　“Is it the Pei family that has made a move, or Xiao Qingdi？” Bai Yujing thought for a while and asked, “Where has Ye Qiu arrived？”
　　The butler replied, “He has arrived in Taiyuan. According to their driving speed, it is estimated that he will arrive in the capital tomorrow night.”
　　Bai Yujing ordered, “Let all our people withdraw！”
The butler thought he had heard wrong and looked at Bai Yujing in astonishment: “Master, you are…
　　“With one hundred thousand Longmen disciples escorting Ye Qiu, it’s no longer realistic to kill him on the way. If our people don’t withdraw, they will all die in the hands of Ye Qiu and the Longmen disciples.” Bai Yujing ordered, “Let Ye Qiu enter the capital！”
　　“But young master, once Ye Qiu enters the capital, I’m afraid there will be changes.” The butler reminded.
　　“I know all the things you said.” Bai Yujing said, “Don’t worry, I have my own arrangements.”
　　“I will never let a mere Ye Qiu disrupt our alliance with the Pei family.”
　　“The moment Ye Qiu arrives in the capital, it will be his death date！”
