The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1547 - 1546: The Grove

The saddler felt that seeing big news should be reported to Tang Rao, then the news pushed to the entire Kao Shan Sect internally. Stone felt now was just the beginning with some clues, best not to tell Tang Rao, not to alert the enemy prematurely, and wait for further developments before reporting everything they saw and analyzed to Tang Rao.From a distance, the two used a high-powered telescope given by Tang Rao to observe everything clearly, accurately documenting all before quietly leaving the 'crime scene'.

"Miss, the letter has been delivered to that person, but she harbors significant hostility towards our arrival, likely doubting the possibility of collaboration between her and Miss. Should we find another suitable collaborator?"

Chun Ping, after serving for many years beside Old Master Qin, had become more adept than other maids, and even typical ladies in scheming due to her worldly experiences.

She casually expressed her thoughts, hoping Qin Qing would heed them, and make dual preparations, lest her hard work in bridging Qin Qing with Zhou Runfa goes in vain.

Qin Qing neither affirmed nor denied Chun Ping's words, but had already mentally checked them off.

Since deciding to cooperate with him, she must continue regardless; otherwise, what point is there? Besides, trying to find someone else more suitable now seems implausible, as none beside Zhou Runfa harbors more hatred for Tang Rao.

Only such individuals understand the meaning of keeping secrets, of joint success.

Ignoring Chun Ping's advice, Qin Qing thrice instructed a strange-faced man to deliver letters into and out of Kao Shan Sect, commanding him to personally hand them to Zhou Runfa.

With each delivery, the lad's approach was notably clean and neat, completing all three tasks without arousing suspicion.

"Miss, should these letters continue being delivered?"

Per arrangement, the man returned to the courtyard to collect the letters, this time prompting Chun Ping's suspicion, worrying that the man's frequent visits might catch the eye of those patrolling guards from Kao Shan Sect.

"Of course, they should continue being delivered, but this time, we'll need to add something inside."

Speaking, Qin Qing pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, crafted from cold silk, cooling in hand and heart, worthy of being deemed a lady's summer tool.

Due to its cooling efficacy and scarce production, even dubbed a tool, few can afford it.

Chun Ping was puzzled, she looked to Qin Qing, waiting for further instruction.

"Wrap this handkerchief around the letter, then have him deliver it."

This was the final letter, determining success or failure, Qin Qing resolved to pull Tang Rao into the mire, causing chaos within Kao Shan Sect.

"Miss, this handkerchief..."

Wasn't it ordered by You Xiaoxiao a few days back for making clothes?

Concerned over this material for a long time, Qin Qing, believing no further news on the cloth had come forth, never expected it again. Now, seeing cold silk in Chun Ping's hand, Chun Ping had no choice but to view reality, trusting that all was true.

"Don't bother with how the material came; do what I tell you without unnecessary chatter."

Chun Ping went out with the item but did not give the man the letter wrapped with cold silk, instead swapping it with another letter, inside which she had already prepared a few words — Tonight, meet at Kao Shan Sect's small woods.

"Deliver this letter to Chunlai Inn, to a bald man named Gui San, then vanish completely from our Miss's presence with these fifty purple crystals — if you appear again, I cannot guarantee your head will still be yours."

Chun Ping handed the letter along with the purple crystals to the man, who nodded repeatedly, soon leaving Kao Shan Sect with a normal expression.

Gui San emerged as usual to collect the letter, believing it belonged to Old Master, preparing to present it before finding it addressed to Gui San personally.

"Yo, Lao San, haven't we stayed at Chunlai Inn too long, and caught a lady's interest?"

This love letter coming, could it be Lao San is heading towards romance?

Watching Gui San, Gui Si chuckled, covering his mouth.

Gui San ignored Gui Si's words, but couldn't fathom who had sent him this unexpected letter.

Finding a secluded spot, Gui San opened the letter, with 'Tonight, meet at Kao Shan Sect's small woods' written on it.

The tone, the handwriting, Gui San was unaware of the sender, yet found it curious.

His lips, typically straight, curved slightly, but the expression remained a sinister smile hanging on his face.

When a woman savors freshness, her wildness matches a married mature woman.

In the dead of night, crows cried in the small woods, a place unusually eerie by day, now exuding oddity as the night unfolded.

A figure stealthily navigated through the woods, waiting in an open space.

Despite strange sounds surrounding her, her expression showed no hint of fear.

"Why haven't they come yet? Didn't they see the letter?"

After seeing Qin Qing asleep, Chun Ping sneaked over here.

Her greatest concern remained Qin Qing awakening to find her gone, while her own presence in the woods, regardless of being spotted, left her unfazed.

Gui San appeared unnoticed from a hole.

This hole was dug by Gui San himself; looking at it beneath him, Gui San felt proud.

Zijing City boasted of having powerful arrays, yet Gui San's methods, albeit underhanded, were hardly useless — for instance, entering Zijing City only took a blink.

The idea of digging a dog hole for entry was suggested by Qin Qing in her letters.

Not that dog holes were convenient, but Kao Shan Sect's array weakness lay underground; Tang Rao had never unexpectedly emerged from below, thus unaware of the intentional flaw left by Old Master Qin during array setup.

"Why are you only just arriving now?"

Hearing movement behind her, Chun Ping couldn't help but startle, but upon seeing Gui San, her fear was gone, replaced by seductive eyes eager to leap into Gui San's arms.

"Why, thinking of me too early? At least wait till dark, can't even bear such a short duration?"

"Of course, when I saw you last at Chunlai Inn, couldn't restrain myself enough not to visit Kao Shan Sect looking for me. When you think of me, you easily find me; when I think of you, you pretend ignorance?"

Chun Ping's petite fists lightly pummeled Gui San's chest twice, stirring Gui San's heart.
