Chapter 1010: Chapter 95: Do You Want to Hear Me Play the Zither? (32 Updates)

Mu Qingge listened to Chu Nian’s analysis and nodded. "Well analyzed."

Her casual remark unexpectedly brought joy to Chu Nian’s heart. This joy was inexplicable and sudden.

Clearly, she was much older than him, had experienced far more, yet getting Mu Qingge’s approval, or just a word of affirmation, filled her with elation.

In that moment, she felt like a young girl in the throes of her first crush, eager to showcase herself before someone she fancied.

Mu Qingge did not notice Chu Nian’s unusual reaction.

When Chu Nian fell silent, she asked, "Since you’ve done your analysis, why did you come to me?"

Mu Qingge’s words pulled Chu Nian back to her senses.

She gathered her thoughts, put on a serious expression, and said to Mu Qingge, "I came because there’s still one matter I can’t figure out."

"What matter?" Mu Qingge asked.

Chu Nian’s brows furrowed slightly, puzzled as she said, "Why did that attendant at the Immortal Dew Pavilion suddenly become a lunatic? Does his abnormal behavior relate to this event?"

"Where was he discovered in the Immortal Dew Pavilion?" Mu Qingge asked.

Chu Nian pursed her lips, saying, "At the corner on the third floor."

"Third floor..." Mu Qingge thought for a moment, then looked at her and asked, "What about you? The day he went mad, were you at the Immortal Dew Pavilion?"

Chu Nian was taken aback, subconsciously nodded.

Mu Qingge paused for a moment, slowly lifted her gaze, and looked at Chu Nian.

Being looked at like this, Chu Nian’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. "You..."

"If I’m not mistaken, you’ve already met the person you’re looking for." Mu Qingge interrupted Chu Nian’s words.

"What! Me?" Chu Nian exclaimed in surprise.

Mu Qingge nodded lightly, "If said that this matter is related to the remnants of the Mu Clan. They infiltrated the Immortal Dew Pavilion just for you. The attendant’s memory was likely destroyed because he had contact with them. They feared that killing would attract the Divine Emperor Palace’s attention, so they took a compromise method. As long as the person isn’t dead, even if the owner of the Immortal Dew Pavilion finds it strange, it wouldn’t disturb the Divine Emperor Palace because of this. And the memory-lost attendant couldn’t provide any useful clues."

Mu Qingge’s analysis was orderly, and Chu Nian nodded repeatedly while listening.

"So carefully think. That day in the Immortal Dew Pavilion, did you encounter any unusual events or strangers?" Mu Qingge patiently guided.

When Chu Nian mentioned this matter, she was almost certain that Mu Tianyin and Chu Nian had met.

Why meet... Perhaps, Mu Tianyin initially had a similar intention to hers, starting with Chu Nian to learn about the Divine Emperor Palace’s situation.

"It’s him!" Chu Nian recalled thoughtfully, suddenly her phoenix-like eyes brightened sharply, blurting out.

The figure she had forgotten began to clear again in her mind. Mu Qingge’s analysis reminded her of some overlooked details from the beginning.

For instance... how did that person know which room she was in?

In hindsight, it was likely forced out from that memory-lost, now idiotic attendant.

"Who is it?" Mu Qingge focused on her, eyes slightly narrowed.

Chu Nian pursed her lips without answering, still immersed in her memory. Gradually, as she took people to the Divine Emperor Palace yesterday morning, among the three figures glimpsed, one familiar person coincided with the man encountered at the Immortal Dew Pavilion days ago.

Chu Nian’s eyes turned sharp.

She suddenly turned around, wanting to leave.

"Stop." Suddenly, Mu Qingge’s voice came from behind.

Chu Nian paused, turned her eyes questioningly towards her.

"Where are you going?" Mu Qingge asked.

Chu Nian naturally answered, "Since I’ve seen that person, now I’m going to recognize him."

"Do you have evidence?" Mu Qingge asked another question.

"Aren’t my eyes enough?" Chu Nian asked solemnly.

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, "How to say, the people under confinement now are here for the birthday celebrations. Without conclusive evidence, grabbing people might cause dissatisfaction among others. And if they deny until death, what can you do? Do you also know if he has any accomplices, infiltrating more people?"

Each statement Mu Qingge made, Chu Nian’s sharpness retreated a bit.

After she finished speaking, Chu Nian subconsciously asked, "Then what should I do?"

Mu Qingge’s lips curved, revealing a hint of wickedness, "Wait."

"Wait?" Chu Nian shook her head in confusion.

Mu Qingge slightly nodded, "Wait for the people you brought back to wake up, ask about their origins, and you’ll naturally know who was impersonated. With eyewitnesses, plus your recognition, isn’t it more convincing? And now, by remaining inactive, slightly leaking news about these unconscious people, you can secretly observe their reactions."

Chu Nian’s eyes lit up, her delicate and beautiful features blossomed with a smile. She said to Mu Qingge, "Alright, I got it. As you said, I’ll expedite getting those people awake and quietly spread some news to see what they’ll do."

Mu Qingge smiled and nodded, with clear eyes showing no hint of scheming.

Chu Nian bid farewell and left, but before her departure, she suddenly turned to ask, "Qingge, do you like listening to the zither?"

"Hmm?" Mu Qingge was stunned, her eyebrows slightly raised, not immediately understanding Chu Nian’s intent.

However, she didn’t continue to explain, just pursed her lips with a smile, saying to her, "Once I’m done with these days, I’ll play the zither for you." With that, she turned around and left quickly.

Once she had disappeared, Mu Qingge cluelessly touched her nose, looking at Yin Chen and asked, "What does she mean?"

Facing the slow Mu Qingge, Yin Chen slowly diverted his gaze, no longer wanting to say more.

Fortunately, Mu Qingge didn’t dwell on Chu Nian’s matters. She coldly smiled, "This time, Mu Tianyin’s dirty water can’t be washed away."

"Your step-by-step guidance is much better than directly telling them the answer," Yin Chen said.

Mu Qingge smiled, "Wuhua God Emperor, Chu Nian are all clever people. Directly telling them the answer won’t earn their trust, instead they’d suspect me. Now, letting them investigate on their own, the things they discover they will believe without a doubt."

Yin Chen was stunned, sighed and shook his head, "You’re incredibly blunt in emotions, yet unmatched in strategic perspicacity."

After saying this, Yin Chen began cleaning up the dishes and leftovers on the table, leaving Mu Qingge alone, dazed, in the room.

Mu Qingge blinked, inexplicably muttering to herself, "How am I emotionally blunt? I already have Mr. Mo, do I need to be emotionally astute towards someone else? Being sensitive to him is enough."
