Chapter 916

It turned out that Baishitong, fearing he might leak secrets, had Su Chen administer a medicinal herb to him in advance; only by taking the antidote could he speak of those things hidden deep in his heart.

The mysterious woman had no choice but to change her approach.

"Then you go undercover here first; tell me if anything happens."

"Yes, received."

As long as he didn't reveal the secrets, Baishitong obeyed the mysterious woman like a servant without emotions.

Subsequently, the mysterious woman released Baishitong.

But she never expected that everyone had overlooked one person, and that was Xiaohu.

It turned out that Su Chen had a premonition that Baishitong would run into trouble, so when entering the palace, he had Baishitong bring Xiaohu along.

He had hidden Xiaohu in a storage ring, so Su Chen was already aware of everything that had happened.

Su Chen was at Baishitong's home, speeding up the refining of the medicinal pill to remove the Gu.

Baishitong, having just returned home, caught a fresh pill.

Before Baishitong could react, Su Chen stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Cough, cough, cough...

A violent coughing sound rang out, and Baishitong's face turned red from choking.

After about a few minutes, Baishitong gradually returned to normal.

"Ah, I'm alive and back."

Su Chen knocked on Baishitong's head: "Tch, what's the big deal?"

Subsequently, the two found a study room to discuss how to handle this matter.

Su Chen recalled the mysterious woman asking if the Great Emperor of Qi Refining was truly at the Great Emperor rank, and asked with some doubt.

"National Teacher, what did that mysterious woman mean?"

Baishitong, seeing that he already knew, explained with some regret.

"Actually, our country's Great Emperor of Qi Refining is no longer at the Great Emperor rank. A few years ago, our country almost collapsed, and it was the Great Emperor of Qi Refining who exhausted his lifelong cultivation to preserve our country. Even if he re-cultivated afterward, his current cultivation is only at the King of Qi Refining level."

Su Chen finally understood what the mysterious woman meant.

"Then why would she know? Could it be that the previous attack was them?"

Baishitong, who hadn't thought of this, was instantly awakened by Su Chen's words.

"What you say makes a lot of sense. Only a few of us know about this; how could the mysterious woman know?"

Su Chen kept tapping his pen, a sign of being a bit anxious, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck.

"Don't they want you to be an undercover agent? And they must be very confident in their Gu. Why don't you continue to be an undercover agent, confuse them, and thereby learn the truth of these matters?"

Hearing this suggestion, Baishitong raised both hands in agreement.

"This suggestion is good; let's do it that way. But I need to enter the palace again now; you cover for me, I can't let them discover me."

Su Chen felt that the current situation indeed could not be discovered by the mysterious woman, so he once again had Baishitong take Xiaohu with him.

As Xiaohu ate more and more medicinal herbs, the time it could stay invisible became longer and longer.

Baishitong, with Xiaohu, arrived safely at the Great Emperor of Qi Refining's sleeping quarters.

The Great Emperor of Qi Refining, seeing Baishitong had come again, asked with some doubt.

"Why have you come several times today?"

Baishitong looked at the Great Emperor of Qi Refining very seriously; the Great Emperor understood that Baishitong wanted him to dismiss all the ministers.

After the Great Emperor of Qi Refining waved his hand to dismiss the servants: "Can you speak now?"

"I was captured by people from the Miao Tribe earlier."

Hearing this from Baishitong, the Great Emperor of Qi Refining instantly felt relieved..

"I thought you were going to say something else; I know about this."
