Anyway, it will take another day and two nights for the rescue support to arrive, so Ye Qiancao has no way to escape from Sword Emperor Peak even if he wants to.

However, Wenren Tianxia was somewhat surprised to see several people queuing up to boil water.

"So many people are taking showers tonight. What a coincidence!"

Yan Sijun nodded and said, "What a coincidence."

At this moment, Di Shanshan covered her bottom and said with a sullen expression, "My mother has washed it several times, but she still thinks it's not clean enough and asked me to get her some more hot water."

Damn it... If only we could get down the mountain. I'll take you straight to Zaoyue Peak; there's a hot spring there.

Everyone can shower together in there; it's not that complicated.

Upon hearing Di Shanshan's words, the girls immediately became excited.

"There are hot springs?"

"real or fake?"

"I love soaking in hot springs."

Di Shanshan nodded smugly and said, "How could this be false? Once things are over here, come with me and we'll see."

The girls nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

They agreed that once the reinforcements arrived, they would go to the hot springs after leaving Sword Emperor Peak.

However, to be fair, there were indeed a lot of people taking showers today.

I don't know why, but it all happened on today.

What a coincidence!

Chapter 193 The Subtle Atmosphere at the Dining Table

As of tonight, the group has been on Sword Emperor Peak for three days and three nights.

Tonight is the night of the fourth day.

There was still one day and two nights before the military craftsmen arrived at Cangjian Manor.

Many things happened in those three days.

But apart from the killing of Di Cangshan, none of these events were actually a big deal for Chi Junlin.

In a sense, many people on Sword Emperor Peak wished for his death.

Therefore, it was good that Di Cangshan died.

As the secrets within the Sword Emperor Peak courtyard are revealed one by one, and everything is exposed to the light of day, the environment, which was originally filled with tension and crisis, becomes stable.

Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning what was in the box.

They get along quite well with each other.

Perhaps some things will only be brought up again on the day we leave Sword Emperor Peak.

Before that, a safe environment free from suspicion is more important than anything else.

When night fell, the women finished bathing and returned to their rooms, where the room assignments changed.

Because of something on the first floor that no one wanted to talk about, Hui Zhilan and her daughter were not too willing to sleep in the master bedroom.

They went up to the second floor and checked into a guest room like the other women.

Guest room number one was still occupied by Wei Ziqing and her daughter. Chi Junlin, believing he was treating Wei Ziqing's detoxification, slept in the same bed with her as if they were husband and wife.

Guest room number two is occupied by Hui Zhilan and her daughter. Now that they have made their stance clear and have shown remorse, everyone is happy to accept them staying on the second floor.

Guest room number three is occupied by Feng Lingqiu and his apprentice. The two haven't stayed together for several days, so they might have plenty to talk about tonight.

Room number four was occupied by Tong Yan and Ye Qiancao.

These two seem to be the most mismatched, but it seems that Chi Junlin is willing to give Ye Qiancao some trust, so Ye Qiancao will probably be able to sleep peacefully in bed tonight.

As night deepened, the nine men went to their respective rooms to sleep.

Then the candles in the room were blown out, and the entire Sword Emperor Peak was plunged into darkness.

Each person on the bed was lost in their own thoughts, and no one knew when they would fall asleep.

The corridor was quiet, except for the faint sound of breathy, alluring breathing coming from one of the rooms.

It appears that the two are fully engaged in dual cultivation.

Later that night, the panting gradually subsided, I don't know when.

It's unclear how many people will find peace and how many will struggle to sleep.

The night is very long.

-

The next morning at dawn, the women got out of bed, yawning.

Then we went to the dining room to have breakfast together.

After sitting down at the round table, the women habitually counted the heads. Once they found the number was correct, they relaxed and began to eat.

However, for some reason, several of the women present had dark circles under their eyes, as if they hadn't slept well at all last night.

No one spoke, and everyone seemed to have fallen into an odd silence.

A moment later, Chi Junlin walked in from outside.

The group then discovered that the box containing Di Cangshan's head was missing.

Tong Yan asked a question.

Chi Junlin then said that she felt uncomfortable having the box there, and that the room was warm, so she was worried that it would rot over time.

So they took it outside and buried it in the snow.

The girls all thought this was a good idea, and when they saw that the box wasn't in the corner, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Red King Lin seemed to be at his most exhausted at this time.

After eating something at the table, I felt drowsy and kept yawning.

Seeing this, Wenren Tianxia said, "Why don't you go back to your room and get some sleep?"

Chi Junlin shook his head and said, "I'll go check the broken bridge later to see if there are any suitable anchor points. It will make things easier when the craftsmen come over to build the bridge."

Wenren Tianxia thought for a moment and then said, "They'll arrive tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, it's been about a day and a night."

As Chi Junlin spoke, he casually ate some food at the table.

Then he stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

After Chi Junlin left, the women ate their food in silence.

Ye Qiancao's eyes darted around, and she suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, casually saying, "There was quite a commotion last night."

Upon hearing her words, everyone present suddenly fell silent.

In a strange atmosphere, the women looked at each other.

Tong Yan blushed slightly and broke the awkward silence by asking, "What...what noise was that?"

"There's none?"

Ye Qiancao sighed and said somewhat innocently, "I don't sleep very well. I always feel like I hear something."

Huh? What is it?

"Isn't Sect Leader Tong sharing a room with me? If I heard it, you should have heard it too."

Tong Yan blinked, looked away, and said, "This... how would I know?"

"is it?"

Ye Qiancao frowned again, a mischievous expression barely perceptible on his face, and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. It seems that Sect Leader Tong went out for a while in the middle of the night. Perhaps the sound came from then? No wonder Sect Leader Tong didn't know."

Upon hearing this, the girls all turned their gazes to Tong Yan.

Tong Yan coughed lightly and said, "It was just getting up to change clothes in the middle of the night, nothing to mention. Perhaps you misheard me."

"Yeah...too."

As Ye Qiancao spoke, she turned to look at the other women and said, "Speaking of which, did you hear that?"

The girls hesitated for a moment.

Then, for some reason, Yan Sijun couldn't help but speak up, "Speaking of which, I did hear some noise. But it wasn't anything strange; it was the sound of Miss Lin Jun going out."

Perhaps... she was also getting up in the middle of the night?

"Oh……"

Ye Qiancao nodded knowingly, then looked at Di Shanshan and asked, "Did you hear that?"

"I?"

Upon hearing this, Di Shanshan subconsciously looked at Hui Zhilan.

Upon seeing this, Hui Zhilan immediately blushed and couldn't help but lower her head, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Di Shanshan frowned, seemingly puzzled, but still picked up the porridge bowl without saying anything.

Ye Qiancao then deliberately said, "Could it be that Madam also gets up at night? That's quite a coincidence."

"What's so coincidental about that?"

Wenren Tianxia couldn't stand Ye Qiancao's sly and ambiguous manner.

He immediately retorted, "My master also gets up at night, doesn't he? Is that so strange?"

Upon hearing Wenren Tianxia's words, everyone immediately fell silent.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Fengling Hill.

Feng Lingqiu was stunned for a moment, and even his icy face, which had never melted for thousands of years, blushed slightly.

However, he nodded seriously and said, "That's right."

"what?"

Ye Qiancao couldn't help but show a very interested expression and said, "It seems that quite a few people got up in the middle of the night last night."

Just then, Chi Junlin walked in from outside.

So everyone immediately quieted down and focused on eating their breakfast.

For a moment, the silence was eerily quiet.

Chi Junlin felt somewhat confused and looked around before asking, "What's wrong with you all?"

The women shook their heads repeatedly, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Chi Junlin sensed something was off, but she was really sleepy.

He then said, "I'm going to sleep for a while longer. Wake me up if you need anything."

The girls nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

So, under their watchful eyes, Chi Junlin turned and left.

Chapter 194 Who exactly made that voice?

Seeing Chi Junlin leave, Ye Qiancao's eyes darted around, and he quickly revealed his lawless smile again.

"That's where the problem comes in."

She looked at the women present and continued, "Since there are so many people who get up at night..."

So, who made the sounds I heard last night?

Upon hearing Ye Qiancao's words, several of the women present blushed.

Wenren Tianxia didn't find anything strange about it.

He frowned and asked Ye Qiancao, "Is this important?"

"Hey, it's not that important."

Ye Qiancao waved his hand and said, "Since we're just idling around anyway, why don't we play a deduction game?"
