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 have stopped flowing.

And the expressions on the faces of the elders who were toasting to each other beside him were momentarily frozen.

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

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

"But I saw Elder Bai Mu getting angry because of something and attacking Elder Liu."

From the shadows in the corner of the hall, a figure slowly walked out, half-kneeling on the ground and respectfully replied.

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

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

Seeing the flattering look on his face, Qin Wu couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

"No matter what Bai Mu is doing secretly, he will definitely try to win over Elder Quhun next."

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

Qin Wu said, picking up the wine glass at hand and playing with it.

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

The half-kneeling figure asked in a low voice, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

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

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

"It's the villain who talks too much."

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

"You don't need to pay too much attention to the matter between Elder Quhun and Elder Bai Mu. Don't bother with whatever they want to do."

"Just arrange the manpower and ask them to secretly protect Her Highness the Princess."

"By the way, nothing happened to Your Highness Princess, right?"

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 on the Princess' side."

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

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

It was obvious that he had just been reprimanded for speculating on the Great Elder's intentions, which made him cringe.

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

Qin Wu thought for a while, but did not take this matter to heart.

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

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

After the figure returned to the shadows, Qin Wu put down the wine glass.

In an instant, the solidified space returned to flow again, and several elders were still pushing cups and changing cups.

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

"Well...it's getting late. I think the elders still have important matters to deal with."

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

Qin Wu raised his head and asked in a deep voice to the elders who were toasting and drinking.

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

"Then I won't disturb the great elder's rest. I'll take my leave first."

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

Watching them leave, Qin Wu didn't show a trace of tiredness until the palace door closed.

"Your Highness, when will you be able to grow up?"

Qin Wu stood up and came to the window in the palace, looked at the stars in the sky, and murmured to himself.

On the other side, the remaining elders who left the main hall looked after each other and then separated.

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

Just as he opened the palace door, he felt an unusual aura.

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

"Why, is Elder Qin Wu's banquet so attractive to you?"

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

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

"Are you...Elder Bai Mu?"

Qu Hun frowned and approached, using the moonlight outside in the dim hall to see clearly the person on the seat. It was Bai Mu who had left earlier.

"Elder Bai Mu, why did you come 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 not at all like the peaceful look he had at Qin Wu's banquet.

"Oh, Elder Quhun should be very clear about my intention."

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

"Don't you think there are too many people following the Great Elder?"

Bai Mu asked with his hands crossed and resting on his chin, staring at Qu Hun.

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

Qu Hun heard what Bai Mu said, and a light flashed in his eyes, but he still looked like he didn't understand.

"Haha, Elder Quhun clearly understands, why pretend to be completely unaware."

"What I want is to bring Elder Quhun to my side so that I can compete with the great elder in the council!"

Seeing Qu Hun pretending to be confused with him, Bai Mu immediately narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.

"Heh, Elder Bai Mu is not interesting anymore."

"Since you are here, you should have understood that it is impossible for me to betray the great elder."

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

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

"Perhaps in your hearts I am just a wallflower, but a wallflower doesn't fall down when the wind blows!"

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

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

"Ha, Elder Quhun really has a very clear understanding of himself."

"But do you think you can still walk out of here if you reject me tonight?"

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

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

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

"This is the center of power in Snow Country. If I die here, do you think the Great Elder Council won't be able to find out!"

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

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