Liushi Zhai, eighth floor

    After Zhao Kongming entered the private room, a figure hurriedly approached, it was Lü Yong who had almost fought with Zhao Kongming not long ago.

    After a good-natured and difficult negotiation with the master, he had the opportunity to escape from Wangyue Building, and then followed Zhao Kongming all the way here.

    After learning about Bai Xihua's affairs from Wangyue Building, he was very curious about the contents of that letter. At the same time, he was even more curious about who would meet Zhao Kongming.

    Lü Yong stood at the corner of the staircase, cocking his ear, but he could never make out a single word. Although the distance was far, as a second-class martial arts master, he was able to hear clearly with his ears. Now that he couldn't hear anything, it must be because sound-blocking techniques had been applied.

    Lü Yong raised his eyebrow, and his heart felt as if a cat was scratching. He hurriedly came to the door of the room and still couldn't hear anything. At this moment, he couldn't hold back any longer and was about to push the door in.

    Suddenly, a shadow blocked his path.

    "Is it you?"

    Lü Yong stared at the person, and immediately recognized them as Chu RuoMeng, who had just sent Zhao Kongming a letter.

    Chu Ruomeng smiled mischievously, her eyes fixed on Lü Yong, and said, "Sir, this is Liushi Zhai. Liushi Zhai has its own rules. The guests inside are discussing matters, and you are not allowed to disturb them."

    Liushi Zhai is well-known in Wu Guo, and its backer remains unknown to all, but one thing is known to everyone: the backer of Liushi Zhai is very strong, even stronger than some of the top-level experts from Cut Moon Alliance.

    Therefore, there were rumors outside that in Yongzhou, if Liushi Zhai would dare to contend for the position of the ruler, then there would be no business for Cut Moon Alliance.

    Lü Yong had certainly encountered the boss behind Liushi Zhai before and had fought against him, but lost.

    Lü Yong knew very well the terrifying nature of Liushi Zhai and dared not disobey its rules. However, he also knew the style of Liushi Zhai. At this moment, he promptly took out a crystal from his spatial ring.

    The moment he saw the crystal, Chu RuoMeng's eyes lit up immediately. She quickly reached out and snatched the crystal, "Thank you, owner".

    Lü Yong let out a cold snort, his expression disdainful, and spat out, then he was about to push open the door.

    Unexpectedly, Chu RuoMeng stopped him again outside the door.

    "Owner, you still can't go in."

    "Why is that?"

    Lü Yong said impatiently, "I've already given you the money."

    "That's the rule"

    Chu RuoMeng said with a cheeky smile, but seeing that Lü Yong was about to lose his temper, she quickly added, "Boss, you want to go in to find out about that letter, right? This is Liushi Zhai. As long as you have money, I can tell you whatever you want to know, and it can save a lot of trouble for you."

    Lü Yong suddenly understood, and a hint of excitement flashed across his face. Today, he had seen Chu Ruomeng deliver the letter, which meant that she must have some inside knowledge.

    "What was written in the letter you delivered today?"

    Lü Yong asked anxiously.

    Chu RuoMeng remained silent, and her fair and tender little hand opened slowly, showing a posture as if she were asking for money.

    Lü Yong was immediately angered, "I already gave it to you, didn't I? I just didn't ask you earlier. I'll take it as a reward for answering the question."

    Chu RuoMeng shook her head, "That wasn't a tip from you, boss. I wanted to answer, but you didn't ask. Time's up, no waiting after expiration."

    "Black shop"

    Lü Yong's lungs were about to burst with anger, he glared fiercely at Chu RuoMeng, had it not been for this not being his territory, he would have liked to kill this stinking woman on the spot.

    A piece of spiritual stone, reluctantly handed over from Lü Yong's hand.

    "The content of the letter wasn't really anything. It just asked Zhao Kongming to come find him, and then he would tell Zhao Kongming the truth about Bai Xihua's suicide."

    Lü Yong's pupils constricted, his muscles shuddered violently, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

    In the past, Bai Xihua committed suicide without reason, and he suspected that there must be some hidden reasons for it. However, these things were kept hidden, and even though he was the Grand Elder of Tianyuan Sect, he couldn't find any information about it.

    Now, the truth was in front of him, and he was eager to know it. His voice trembled as he spoke, "The truth, what is it?"

    Chu RuoMeng said nothing, merely continuing to open her hand.

    Lü Yong was once again angered, truly money corrupts everything.

    Unwillingly handing out a piece of spiritual stone, Chu RuoMeng quickly put it away, "I don't know".

    Lü Yong: (╬◣д◢)

    "Give me back my spiritual stone"

    Lü Yong was so angry that he raised his hand, intending to snatch the spiritual stone from Chu RuoMeng's hand. However, she had already anticipated this and immediately slipped it into her spatial ring. She moved as quick as a rabbit, quickly dodging him.

    "Grand Elder Lü, don't be in a hurry. Although I don't know, I know who does. Besides, don't you want to know where Bai Xihua's hairpin came from?"

    After Chu RuoMeng finished speaking, Lü Yong was immediately stunned, then he suspiciously stared at Chu RuoMeng, "Do you really know?"

    Chu RuoMeng nodded.

    "Are you really, really sure?"

    Chu RuoMeng rolled her eyes and nodded impatiently, "If you don't believe me, then there's no need to ask me."

    It's not that Lü Yong doesn't believe Chu RuoMeng, but this girl is too deceptive. He lost several spiritual stones in the blink of an eye, all because of her. If it weren't for being in Liushi Zhai, he would have actually taken action.

    "Speak."

    Lü Yong no longer wasted time, and directly opened his mouth to ask.

    Chu RuoMeng remained silent, once again extending her hand to demand spiritual stones.

    Endurance

    Lü Yong suppressed the urge to explode, biting his teeth and handing a spiritual stone from his spatial ring to Chu RuoMeng.

    Chu RuoMeng was delighted to receive it, and then with a smile, she pointed to the upper nine floors with one finger, "Your mistress, Bai Yun".

    "Where did you find that hairpin?"

    In the private room, Zhao Kongming vigilantly watched Chen Mo for a moment and indifferently spat out a sentence.

    Chen Mo placed his hands on the table, supporting his cheek, and smiled mischievously at Zhao Kongming, "It was naturally obtained from a familiar person."

    "Who is it?"

    Zhao Kongming slapped the table, eagerly asking.

    Chen Mo did not answer but shifted the topic, asking, "Don't you wonder why Bai Xihua would commit suicide?"

    As soon as the words fell, Zhao Kongming's hands clenched into fists, his teeth gritted. This was the reason for his white hair overnight and the truth he had been yearning for these years.

    At that time, he and Bai Xihua had mutual affection, although they had not made it public, but both of them fell in love with each other and were inseparable. Their life was gradually happy and perfect.

    But at this critical moment, Bai Xihua suddenly committed suicide.

    If Bai Xihua's life was so miserable that he had lost all hope for the world and chose to commit suicide, he could accept it. But at that time, he had almost given everything for Bai Xihua.

    He could also feel that Bai Xihua was genuinely happy, truly feeling happiness.

    But why, such a happy person, would choose to commit suicide.

    Zhao Kongming lifted his gaze, his eyes bloodshot, "Tell me the reason."

    Chen Mo leaned on his cheek with one hand, lightly shook his head, "I can't tell you the truth...".

    "Why?"

    Zhao Kongming's voice deepened.

    "Because there's no proof without evidence. Although I can't tell you the truth, I can take you to find the truth."

    "Conditions?"

    "Take me to Zhao's family"

    "No, Zhao's family does not allow outsiders..."

    "The truth is within Zhao's family."
