"I must let Great Jin and the alliance be assured, otherwise how can we make them believe that establishing the Neutral Zone is solely for the relocation of the more than forty million people from the two prefectures? Very well, you may all leave!"

The four people bowed in unison. Hou Yuling and the other two left first. Only Hou Yuduan paused, his brow furrowing. He recalled Hou Yuxiao's first glance toward the back of the main hall, suddenly realized something, and halted his steps, turning back to look at Hou Yuxiao, his expression immediately complex.

"What is it?"

"Big brother, are you worried about sister-in-law?"

......

Hou Yuxiao's expression froze slightly; he didn't expect Old Fifth to notice even this.

He remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said softly, "Of course, I trust Qingxue, but since it concerns the life and death of the Hou Clan, I cannot afford to be careless..."

Hou Yuduan said nothing. After a moment of silence, he left anyway.

Watching all four depart, Hou Yuxiao slowly moved towards the back of the main hall, towards his and Zhao QingXue's quarters, his face growing increasingly complicated.

Married in 1327, and now it's 1332, only five years it seems, but if one accounts for the time in the Five Elements Heaven, he and Zhao QingXue have spent at least thirty years together.

Having been with him for over thirty years and giving birth to Wuji's wife, Hou Yuxiao should trust her no matter what. But in such a critical situation, he chose to be more cautious.

This matter was simply too important!

If either Great Jin or the alliance learned of his true intentions, all previous schemes would vanish into thin air. It's not that he doesn't trust Zhao QingXue; he believes that Zhao QingXue, being married to him for these years, has been completely devoted to him, to the Hou Clan, and to their son.

But crucially, his wife is also a person of Ziqing Holy Sect, raised by Moxuzi since childhood. Now Moxuzi is the head of the Taishang Dao Lineage of the Ziqing Holy Sect, and Moxuzi's teacher, Wei Xuheng, is the Sect Master of Ziqing Holy Sect...

With such connections, it's not impossible for Zhao QingXue to leak information about the Hou Clan to them. Hou Yuxiao seeks absolute certainty!

Hou Yuxiao walked slowly to the door of their room, collecting the complexities on his face, adopting a more relaxed expression, and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in, husband!"

Zhao QingXue, in a white dress, sat on the edge of the psalter. Seeing Hou Yuxiao enter, a gentle look appeared on her face. She had also attended tonight's banquet, greeted the elder Bai Siming from her sect, and knew that after the banquet, Hou Yuxiao was going to discuss matters with Hou Yucheng and others, so she returned to their room first.

Seeing Hou Yuxiao sitting beside her, his face showing a hint of fatigue, Zhao QingXue immediately felt a pang of sympathy and moved behind him, gently massaging his shoulders.

Hou Yuxiao immediately felt a sense of tenderness surge within him. He reached out and held those flawless, white hands, looked up at her, and said softly, "Qingxue, between Great Jin and Hexi, who do you think I will choose?"

Hearing this question, Zhao QingXue's expression momentarily stiffened, then she fell into a long silence before slowly speaking, "Husband, haven't you always known I never involved myself in these matters? Whichever path you choose, I will follow, as long as you and Wuji are safe and sound, nothing else matters to me!"

It was hard to imagine that Zhao QingXue, at the shattering cultivation level, would speak such simple words like an ordinary woman, making Hou Yuxiao feel even more guilty. First published on NovelFire.

"Don't worry, I won't put you in a difficult spot, Qingxue!"

Zhao QingXue clearly caught the deeper meaning in Hou Yuxiao's words, and a smile appeared on her face. She withdrew her hands and resumed gently massaging his shoulders.

"I'll be heading to Xingnan Prefecture shortly; why don't you come with me?"

"Alright, husband!"
