Chapter 5435 Night Visit

"How's it going?"

Qin Wu spoke in a low voice, and for a moment the air around him seemed to stop flowing.

The expressions of the elders who were drinking from their glasses beside him froze for a moment.

"Reporting to the Great Elder, after Elder Bai Mu and the others left, they seemed to be plotting something."

"I can't hear the specific content because Elder Bai Mu cast a barrier."

"But I saw Elder Bai Mu got angry about something and attacked Elder Liu."

A figure slowly walked out from the shadow in the corner of the hall, half-knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

"Hmm...it seems that Bai Mu has never given up the idea in his heart!"

Qin Wu shook his head and sighed, then turned to look at Qu Hun who was sitting next to him.

Looking at his fawning look, Qin Wu couldn't help but click his tongue.

"No matter what Bai Mu is doing in secret, he will definitely try to win over Elder Qu Hun next."

"It seems that I really need to prepare in advance."

Qin Wu said this and picked up the wine glass beside him and started playing with it.

"Great Elder, are you planning to deal with Elder Qu Hun first?"

The figure half-kneeling on the ground asked in a low voice, with a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that? How could I attack my own family?"

Qin Wu's eyes flashed, and he took a deep look at the figure half-kneeling on the ground.

"It's me who talked too much."

The figure hurriedly lowered his head and concealed the murderous intent in his eyes.

"Don't worry too much about what happened between Elder Qu Hun and Elder Bai Mu. Don't bother with what they want to do."

"Just arrange the personnel and have them protect Her Royal Highness the Princess in secret."

"By the way, did anything happen to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

A cold light flashed in Qin Wu's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Great Elder. There is nothing unusual happening with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"It's just that a group of Snow Clan warriors who were originally under the command of Elder Bai Mu quietly went to Her Royal Highness the Princess, apparently to swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness."

The figure lowered his head, and his words were full of caution.

Obviously, he was reprimanded for presumptuously guessing the intentions of the Great Elder, which made him feel cringe.

"Is this true? It doesn't matter. No matter what Bai Mu is planning, the future of the Snow Country will eventually return to the right track."

Qin Wu thought about it for a while and didn't take it to heart.

"Okay, go down and report to me if you have anything else."

Qin Wu waved his hand. The figure stood up, bowed, and retreated into the shadow in the corner.

Only after the figure returned to the shadows did Qin Wu put down the wine glass.

In an instant, the solidified space began to flow again, and several elders were still toasting each other.

As for the conversation between Qin Wu and the figure just now, no one noticed it.

"Well...it's getting late, and I think the elders still have important matters to attend to."

"Why don't we start today's banquet here?"

Qin Wu raised his head and asked in a deep voice to several elders who were drinking from their glasses.

Seeing Qin Wu speak, the elders who were originally in high spirits immediately put down their wine glasses.

"Then we won't disturb the Great Elder's rest. We will take our leave first."

Several people stood up, saluted Qin Wu, then turned and left the hall.

Qin Wu watched them leave until the palace door closed, and then a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, when will you grow up?"

Qin Wu stood up and walked to the window in the hall, looking at the stars in the sky and muttering to himself.

On the other side, after leaving the hall, the remaining elders said hello to each other and then went their separate ways.

Qu Hun returned all the way to the hall where he lived.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the palace, he felt an unusual breath.

"Oh, Elder Qu, you are finally back."

"Why, is the banquet of Great Elder Qin Wu so attractive to you?"

A voice sounded from his own palace, and a hint of alertness suddenly flashed in Qu Hun's eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and saw that there was already another person sitting on the chair that belonged to him.

"You are... Elder Bai Mu?"

Qu Hun frowned and walked closer. In the dim hall, he used the moonlight outside to see the person sitting on the chair. It was Bai Mu who had left earlier.

"Elder Baimu, what brings you to my temple?"

Qu Hun stared at Bai Mu and asked in a deep voice.

There was a hint of hostility in his tone, which was nothing like the friendly demeanor he had displayed at Qin Wu's banquet.

"Hehe, Elder Qu Hun should be very clear about my purpose."

"Except for the three people on my side, the remaining five people in the elders' meeting are on the side of the great elder. This is very disadvantageous to me!"

"Don't you think that the Great Elder has too many followers?"

Bai Mu crossed his hands under his chin, stared at Qu Hun and asked.

"Oh? Could it be that Elder Bai Mu came here specifically to discuss with me how to get rid of the people around the Great Elder?"

After hearing what Bai Mu said, Qu Hun's eyes flashed with a gleam, but he still pretended not to understand.

"Haha, Elder Qu Hun clearly understood, why bother pretending to be unaware?"

"What I want is to pull Elder Qu Hun to my side, so that I can compete with the Great Elder in the parliament!"

Seeing that Qu Hun was pretending to be confused in front of him, Bai Mu's eyes immediately fixed and he spoke in a serious voice.

"Oh, Elder Bai Mu, this is meaningless."

"Since you are here, you should have known that it is impossible for me to betray the Great Elder."

"Besides, Elder Bai Mu, your strength is a little too weak compared to the Great Elder."

Qu Hun shook his head. Seeing that Bai Mu had directly exposed his ambition, he also expressed his attitude directly.

"Maybe in your hearts I am a fence-sitter, but fence-sitters are not the kind that will fall easily when the wind blows!"

Qu Hun said this as he walked to the side and took out a bottle of liquor from the wine cabinet.

Then, as if Bai Mu was not here, he took out the wine glass and started drinking.

"Haha, Elder Qu Hun really has a very clear understanding of himself."

"But do you think you can walk out of here alive after rejecting me tonight?"

Suddenly, Bai Mu's tone turned cold, and endless darkness enveloped the entire room. Even the moonlight outside the window could not be reflected into the hall at all.

Qu Hun, who was in the darkness, realized at this moment that Bai Mu did not come here just to persuade him.

"What, you still dare to kill me?!"

"This is the power center of the Snow Country. If I die here, do you think the Great Elder will not be able to find out?"

Qu Hun had a ferocious look on his face and shouted sternly.

"We can talk about this later, but I can be sure that after tonight, Qin Wu may not even be able to protect himself!"
