<h4>Chapter 793: Chapter 0795: Sending Invitation Widely</h4>
Chu Ge looked at Gongsun Lihan in confusion. "If you’re so curious about your brother’s affairs, you should ask your family, not a stranger like me."
Gongsun Lihan fell silent. She just wanted to know if the things they mentioned were true. But if she directly asked her family, her parents would surely hide the truth from her. Otherwise, how could it be that until now she hasn’t heard the slightest whisper?
Regardless, she had to find the answer today.
With that thought, Gongsun Lihan ced her hands on her hips and red at Chu Ge as she asked, "I came to ask you because I heard these things from you all. If you haven’t said anything, then there must be some evidence. If there’s no evidence, that means you’re ndering my brother, and you owe him an apology."
Chu Ge looked at the petite girl in front of him. In her, he saw a simr stubbornness to that of Shen Yaoyao. He shook his head somewhat helplessly. "I think there is a misunderstanding. It wasn’t me who talked about your brother, and I don’t know your brother either."
Gongsun Lihan became anxious, "How can you not know him? If you didn’t, how could my brother have greeted you?"
Chu Ge looked at her, speechless. "You should ask your brother why he would greet me. Moreover, that wasn’t a greeting, and you saw the situation at that time, didn’t you?"
Gongsun Lihan fell silent again, unable to think of a reason to persuade him to reveal what was going on.
Chu Ge looked at her and could genuinely see that she was worried and anxious for Gongsun Linhua. He couldn’t help but feel envious of Gongsun Linhua for having a good sister, a sister who sincerely cared for him.
"If in your heart, you believe your brother would not do such things, then you should trust your brother and not run to me to verify whether these words are true or not."
Chu Ge’s words stunned Gongsun Lihan, who stood there nkly, pondering his words. Yes, if she truly believed in her brother, she would not havee to confront Chu Ge.
For the first time, Gongsun Lihan questioned her own thoughts. Since when had she needed to hear something from others before she could believe in her brother’s innocence?
Gongsun Lihan felt extremely sad. She didn’t understand what was happening to her.
Chu Ge looked at her worriedly, seeing her looking distressed. He waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Gongsun Lihan gently shook her head. She wanted to turn around and leave, but her feet felt as heavy as if filled with lead, and she couldn’t move them.
Seeing her like this, Chu Ge decided it wasn’t appropriate for her to go out. He took her to the nearby pharmacy instead.
Liu Yue was busy arranging medicinal materials. Without turning her head, she heard someone enter and said, "Wee."
Chu Ge chuckled.
Liu Yue turned around and saw that it was Chu Ge who hade in. She smiled apologetically, "Oh, it’s Mr. Chu."
Chu Ge, guiding Gongsun Lihan, pointed to a stool nearby and said, "Have a seat and rest here for a bit. The Gambling Stone Field really isn’t a ce suitable for a youngdy like you."
Right now, Gongsun Lihan’s mind was a mess; she couldn’t grasp what Chu Ge was saying. She just felt someone talking beside her, nodded dully, and obediently took a seat.
Liu Yue looked at Gongsun Lihan, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Mr. Chu, who is this?"
Chu Ge softly said, "Gongsun Linhua’s sister."
Liu Yue was surprised as her evaluating gaze fell on Gongsun Lihan and she asked with confusion, "What happened to her? Why did she suddenlye here?"
Chu Ge lowered his voice and exined, "She’s here because of her brother, not believing the things he has supposedly done outside, so she came to inquire if they are true."
Even the typically good-tempered Liu Yue couldn’t help but purse her lips at this; such a sister truly knew no bounds.
Her brother made a scene at the restaurant earlier, and now his sister hase to question it. Doesn’t she understand her own brother?
However, Liu Yue did not voice these thoughts. She herself had no interest in Gongsun Linhua, and his reputation had already soured among the ordinary business owners like herself, diminishing any goodwill she might have had.
But she was not one to idly gossip, nor did she take pleasure in meddling with such things, so she made noment regarding the matter with Gongsun Lihan.
Chu Ge nced at the time; he still had to meet with Jian Chunqiu to discuss the summit happening the next day, so he couldn’t stay too long. As it was about time to leave, he said to Liu Yue, "Let her have some quiet time here by herself. I have matters to attend to and need to head back."
Liu Yue nodded, "Mr. Chu, please go ahead with your affairs. Leave this ce to me, I will take good care of her."
Chu Ge nodded, nced back at Gongsun Lihan without a word, and strode out of the apothecary.
Ouyang Die and Nangong Man Sha had gone shopping, and when Chu Ge returned to the vi, Jian Chunqiu was also not there.
He called Jian Chunqiu and learned that he was on his way back, so Chu Ge brewed some tea and sat in the living room, waiting.
It wasn’t long before Jian Chunqiu returned, apanied by a middle-aged man in white clothing.
Upon seeing Chu Ge, the man nodded lightly at him.
"This is Chu Ge," Jian Chunqiu introduced as he took a seat, pointing at Chu Ge, "This is a disciple from my Sword Pavilion, named Zhang Xin."
Chu Ge nodded lightly to him and poured tea for the two men before speaking up, "Miss Man Sha mentioned that the summit has been moved earlier."
Jian Chunqiu nodded, "I’ve brought Zhang Xin back for this reason, to discuss this matter with you."
After saying this, Jian Chunqiu turned to Zhang Xin and gestured for him to speak, "Recount what happenedst night, in detail."
"Yes."
Zhang Xinplied, "The Nangong Family provided special hotel amodations for the Sects attending the summit, and the incidentst night urred within those hotels. Important elders from the Sunflower Sect, Chen Sect, and Chang Sect were murdered. Afterparing the techniques and examining the wounds, we’ve concluded that the Sect Hierarch of the ck Witch Sect, the ck Widow, is responsible, as there is a ck handprint on each of the victims, with the sect flower of the ck Witch Sect in its center."
Zhang Xin paused, then continued, "The incident was both sudden and grave. Although the Chen Sect and Chang Sect are minor Sects, the Nangong Family extended invitations to nearly All Sects for the grandeur of the summit, of course, excluding some Ancient Martial Artists from the world of martial arts who were not members of a sect.
"Fortunately, this year there were no disputes over invitations like in previous years."
