However, during this period, nothing unexpected occurred; every step proceeded as planned.
Just as Wei Wuya arranged,
Liu Baishi and Qi Baiyu were both Sword Fools; people like them have stubborn and pathological thoughts, yet both were willing to self-sacrifice for so-called love. Thus, Liu Baishi died under Qi Baiyu's sword as planned, pushing Qi Baiyu's swordsmanship closer to Great Success.
And Qi Baiyu subsequently fell into demonic influence.
If there was anything slightly unexpected in this matter from start to finish, it was Wei Wuya underestimating Qi Baiyu's love for Liu Baishi, which reached a reckless level.
Previously, Qi Baiyu unexpectedly married a woman and retired from the sword, leading Yuan Zhixiang and Wei Wuya to think Qi Baiyu had discovered something amiss. But in truth, it was Qi Baiyu's measure to prevent himself from killing Liu Baishi.
Although there was a slight deviation, it wasn't significant.
