With her eyes lowered, Lian Xing's eyes fell on the book in front of her titled "Lord Palace Master, Love Me Again". Lian Xing shook her head and said, "Yuen Nu, has the person who brought this book into Yihua Palace been found out?"
In response to Lian Xing's question, a maid with a delicate face and gentle temperament outside the pavilion bowed and said, "Replying to the Second Palace Master, we haven't found out yet, but we should have news tonight at the latest."
Hearing this, Lian Xing shook her head and said, "If you haven't found out, don't investigate. But my sister never likes these things. If my sister finds out when she comes back, I'm afraid she will be severely punished. You'd better tell her."
Yue Nu nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, Second Palace Master."
After putting down the book in her hand, Lian Xing continued to ask, "Any news from my sister recently?"
"In reply to the Second Palace Master, according to the disciple who reported the news, the First Palace Master is still in Yushui City and has not left yet."
Hearing this, Lian Xing frowned and said, "Sister has been out for almost two months, why is she still in Yu Shui City?"
However, in response to Lian Xing's question, the maid outside the pavilion quickly said, "I don't know."
Seeing the flustered look on the maid's face, Lian Xing just shook her head and said, "Well! Sister really doesn't like people around her to talk too much. Go down!"
"I obey your command!"
Only after the maid left did Lian Xing turn her gaze towards the script in her hand.
After her eyes swept over the words "Heart Arsonist" on the cover, Lian Xing frowned slightly.
"The title of this storybook is so confusing. The author's name sounds like Deng Tu Zi. Why would anyone in Yihua Palace read such a storybook?"
After thinking for a few breaths, Lian Xing slowly turned to the first page with the desire to understand the reason.
The first thing I saw was the first line of poetry.
"Don't let your spring love compete with flowers for blooming, for an inch of lovesickness is an inch of ashes."
Two hours later, as tears as big as beans fell on the storybook, Lian Xing, who was originally sitting, suddenly erupted with inner energy. With a strong sense of grief and indignation, she swung her palms one after another into the lake next to the pavilion, causing waves all over the sky.
Noticing the noise coming from Jingxin Lake, the nearby disciples of Yihua Palace were also startled, and they watched their noses and their hearts.
After more than ten breaths and dozens of consecutive palm strikes, Lian Xing's anger was finally slightly released.
At this time, the manuscript that Lian Xing had just held in her hand had been completely deformed by Lian Xing.
After a while, when the lake calmed down again and fish started floating on the water, Lian Xing was still unable to calm down.
With his eyes fixed on the storybook in his hand and looking at the words "Heart Arsonist" on the cover, Lian Xing's true energy flowed, and he immediately shredded the storybook into pieces.
After a moment, Lian Xing moved her lips slightly and said, "Come here."
A few breaths later, several disciples of Yihua Palace quickly moved over from a distance and knelt on the ground.
"Second Palace Master."
With her back to the group, Lian Xing said in a cold voice: "Pass the order down. From today on, if a book written by someone named 'Arsonist of the Heart' appears in Yihua Palace, it will be thrown into the Hundred Flowers Pit."
Hearing the words "Baihuakeng", these Yihua Palace disciples were so frightened that they quickly agreed, their faces turned pale.
After the few people left quickly, Lian Xing glanced at the fragments of the script on the ground with her still red eyes .
He snorted heavily.
"Anyone who can write such a story is definitely not a good person."
As the voice fell, Lian Xing tapped her toes and floated away in an instant.
At this point, the world has one more victim because of Chu Qinghe's bad taste.
…
30, New Year's Eve
Good for marriage, unsuitable for burial.
Amidst the heavy snow, the entire Yu Shui city was bustling with activity.
It was clearly midnight, but in addition to the sounds of firecrackers, the city was also filled with the sound of drums, making it very lively.
On this New Year's Eve, new couplets were posted on the door of Chu Qinghe's mansion, just like other ordinary families in the city.
From the front yard to the inner yard, you can see the word "Fu" posted everywhere.
In the inner courtyard, Xiao Zhao was busy working on the barbecue, and the barbecue on the grill was sizzling with oil.
Chu Qinghe and the two women, Dongfang Bubai, sat at the table and played cards.
It is easy to feel sleepy when staying up all night to see the New Year in. But looking at the people in the yard now, do they look like they are sleepy at all?
Until midnight, accompanied by the sounds, brilliant fireworks appeared in the sky.
Even Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai raised their heads to look up at the sky, admiring the brilliant scenery.
As the fireworks in the sky continued to bloom, the bright light illuminated the night sky and also illuminated the faces of the four women at this time.
Chu Qinghe withdrew his gaze from the fireworks in the sky and looked at the four women in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.
Who could have imagined that more than two months ago, Chu Qinghe was still alone.
But now, the people around him can not only form a mahjong table, but also have an extra mascot to help with the grilling.
The illusion that Chu Qinghe was out of tune with the world, which had occasionally lingered in his mind since he crossed over, was unconsciously eliminated when the women entered the yard.
With a beautiful woman by his side and fine wine in his hand, this is all Chu Qinghe wants in this life.
Thinking about it, after drinking the wine in the glass, Chu Qinghe gently moved his gaze to Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai, and the smile on his face became a little gentler.
When the night sky returned to darkness again, the few people regained their sight.
After having a good meal and drinking, and in the dead of night, Dongfang Bubai greeted everyone and walked towards his room.
Looking at Dongfang Bubai walking towards the room, Xiao Zhao asked in confusion: "Sir, why does Sister Dongfang go back to her room so early these days?"
After guarding the house all night last time, Dongfang Bubai would return to his room around the end of the night in the next few days, either to practice or to rest early.
Moreover, the number of times he fought with Yao Yue in the past few days was obviously much less, and he was almost always immersed in cultivation.
Qu Feiyan said calmly: "Maybe she wants to break through earlier! After all, Sister Dongfang has already reached the Grandmaster level. If someone can reach the Grandmaster level at Sister Dongfang's age, there are very few in the entire martial arts world."
Yao Yue, who was standing by, didn't say anything when she heard this, but she snorted in her heart.
"This woman is sensible."
A few days ago, when Yao Yue discovered Dongfang Bubai's abnormality, she was obviously alert.
But now a few days have passed, and seeing that Dongfang Bubai has not made any move, Yao Yue's vigilance has basically disappeared.
In Yao Yue's opinion, the rice cake has been cooked between her and Chu Qinghe, and it has become a fact that they have taken the lead.
No matter what Dongfang Bubai does, it can't change that.
What's more, with Yao Yue's own strength, even if Dongfang Bubai wanted to do something, Yao Yue herself would not be afraid.
Dongfang Bubai has been so considerate these days, saving Yao Yue the trouble.
Here, after turning his gaze away from Dongfang Bubai's room, Chu Qinghe's face was filled with some confusion.
Based on Chu Qinghe's understanding of Dongfang Bubai, he is definitely not the type of person who would just let it go after suffering a loss.
Not to mention that Yao Yue had been implicitly provoking him these days. Under normal circumstances, with Dongfang Bubai's temper, he would have exploded long ago.
But in recent days, Dongfang Bubai seems to have completely changed his personality.
Chu Qinghe was basically certain that Dongfang Bubai was definitely harboring evil intentions at this moment.
But women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea.
Although he had a vague guess that something was wrong, Chu Qinghe didn't understand what Dongfang Bubai was thinking.
"call out!"
"boom!"
However, at this moment, there was a sound in the sky again, and fireworks bloomed in the sky again.
And the sound was much louder than those previous fireworks.
Almost at the moment when every firework appears, the air seems to vibrate.
This caused Qu Feiye and Xiao Zhao to plug their ears with their fingers.
Yao Yue also frowned slightly and restrained her true energy to avoid amplifying her hearing.
Instead, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but let out a light exclamation in his heart at this moment.
You know, fireworks themselves are quite expensive, and ordinary people would never spend so much money just for a moment of enjoyment.
In the past , although there would be fireworks on New Year's Eve in Yu Shui City, they were only set off in groups of three or four and were only set off by the wealthy families in the city.
Most of the fireworks previously prepared by Chu Qinghe.
Therefore, these fireworks that are obviously making a lot more noise now seem a bit inexplicable.
Although I feel a little strange, today is New Year's Eve.
It wasn't a bad thing to be able to watch fireworks, and Chu Qinghe was too lazy to think about it further.
By the time this batch of fireworks ended, it was already close to the hour of Chou.
The vigil was over, and several people had drunk a lot of wine, so the alcohol made them feel sleepy.
Therefore, after yawning, the few people who were obviously sleepy returned to their rooms.
Yao Yue followed directly behind Chu Qinghe, obviously not wanting to wait a while before sneaking into Chu Qinghe's room.
Chu Qinghe and Yao Yue entered the room one after another.
With a flick of the long sleeves, the door that was originally facing the room was instantly closed.
“Buzz!”
However, Yao Yue, who was following behind Chu Qinghe at this time, did not notice at all that as the door of the room closed, Dongfang Bubai, who had returned to the room before, was now standing motionless by the door.
Looking at the defenseless Yao Yue at this moment, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but snort.
And the moment the voice came out, the true energy in Dongfang Bubai's body surged and instantly gathered between Dongfang Bubai's fingers.
Under the illumination of the lights in the house, it was all red.
At the same time, Yao Yue also sensed the fluctuations of true energy behind her.
However, although Dongfang Bubai has also reached the perfect grandmaster level, his martial arts are primarily based on speed.
At such a close distance, even a martial artist at the Grandmaster level might not be able to react, let alone Yao Yue.
Almost at the moment when Yao Yue realized something was wrong, Dongfang Bubai's finger pointed towards Yao Yue.
The blood-red fingertips moved closer, pierced through the protective Qi around Yao Yue's body with a devastating force, and then touched Yao Yue's back.
And the moment his fingers touched Yao Yue's body, Yao Yue's body suddenly became unable to move.
After this finger, Dongfang Bubai did not stop, but raised his hand and quickly tapped various major acupoints on Yao Yue's body to seal it, making it difficult for the true energy in Yao Yue's body to flow.
Sensing the movement behind him, Chu Qinghe slowly turned his head.
When Chu Qinghe saw Dongfang Bubai standing next to Yao Yue, he was stunned for a moment.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Dongfang Bubai, who had returned to the room before, would appear in his room at this moment.
However, after a few breaths, Chu Qinghe came to his senses and suddenly thought of the fireworks that rose again in the night sky after Dongfang Bubai returned to the room.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he could guess that the fireworks were arranged by Dongfang Bubai.
You know, when a warrior gains strength through internal force or true qi, all five senses will be enhanced.
Even Chu Qinghe, whose eyesight was normally not very good, could see the scene dozens of meters away with the help of his inner strength.
Not to mention the masters who have reached the perfect grandmaster level.
It can be said that any movement within a radius of dozens of miles cannot be hidden from masters like Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai.
Before that, the fireworks were so noisy that even Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan covered their ears, let alone Yao Yue.
Naturally, he used his true Qi to block out the deafening sound.
This also led to the fact that Yao Yue was unable to grasp Dongfang Bubai's movements when the fireworks were set off earlier.
Obviously, Dongfang Bubai had been planning today's events for more than just a day or two.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to get fireworks that make such a loud noise.
Here, after successfully pressing Yao Yue's acupoints, Dongfang Bubai curled up the corners of his mouth and walked in front of Yao Yue.
Looking at Dongfang Bubai in front of her, Yao Yue said coldly: "Dongfang Bubai, what do you want to do?"
Hearing what Yao Yue asked, Dongfang Bubai chuckled.
Then he said slowly: "You also said that opportunities should be seized, but I am not like you. I like to create opportunities myself."
Without waiting for Yao Yue's response, Dongfang Bubai raised his lips and continued, "Don't you call yourself the queen? Today, I will teach you what it means to be the queen."
"It's just after New Year's Eve, and it's time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. It's just right for the little one to hold the lamp for the big one."
As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai felt extremely happy.
The anger that had been pent up in the past few days was now released freely.
After hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Yao Yue and Chu Qinghe knew what Dongfang Bubai meant at the moment.
Especially Chu Qinghe, after he understood Dongfang Bubai's meaning, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Although Chu Qinghe had guessed that Dongfang Bubai must be secretly planning a big move in his mind, he did not expect Dongfang Bubai to play it so big.
On this New Year's Eve, the beginning of the new year, he actually wanted Yao Yue to light the lantern and watch her play.
This is not an ordinary flower!
Here, Yao Yue, who also realized Dongfang Bubai's intention, also had a changed expression and growled, "You dare?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai said disdainfully: "Do you think this leader dares?"
As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai flicked his long sleeves and directly pressed Yao Yue's mute point and ear point, rendering her unable to speak.
Not only that, as Dongfang Bubai waved his sleeves just now, several streams of true energy mixed with strong energy burst out and swept towards Chu Qinghe and landed directly on Chu Qinghe's acupuncture points.
Afterwards, Chu Qinghe, who had been standing there without saying a word, suddenly stiffened and flew straight to the bed.
Chu Qinghe: “???????”
After being forced to lie down, Chu Qinghe's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Being called again?"
Originally, Chu Qinghe was thinking about talking to Yao Yue about the importance of cooperation today, but before he could get to the point, Dongfang Bubai got involved and pressed some acupoints.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe truly realized what it meant that people from the same family would stick together.
Aren't these two women mentally disturbed?
Who would press the acupuncture points on their man without saying a word before doing these things?
What's wrong? Will not pressing my acupoints affect my freedom of expression?
At this moment, Chu Qinghe's psychological shadow area suddenly extended towards infinity.
What is going on?
After pressing Chu Qinghe's acupoints, Dongfang Bubai waved his long sleeves again, and with his powerful strength, he directly moved Yao Yue to the bedside.
Then, Dongfang Bubai raised his right hand and formed his five fingers into a claw, and a lantern in the room was instantly sucked into Dongfang Bubai's hand.
After replacing a new candle in the lantern and placing a dozen spare candles next to it to last through the night, Dongfang Bubai raised his hand slightly.
During the movement, Yao Yue's hands, which were originally hanging down, were raised up and horizontally.
Then, after placing the lantern handle in Yao Yue's hand, Dongfang Bubai's face was filled with joy.
Afterwards, seeing Chu Qinghe's depression and Yao Yue's wide-eyed state, Dongfang Bubai directly flashed to Chu Qinghe.
After a few breaths, the sounds of some familiar movements also reached Yao Yue's ears.
But it’s different from the previous few days.
The person who made this familiar voice today changed from Yao Yue to Dongfang Bubai.
Things change, but Chu Qinghe remains the same as usual.
Outside, snow was flying all over the sky and the wind was freezing cold.
However, inside the house, there was a gradual warmth. Yao Yue, who was holding a lantern, felt as if the blood in her body had turned into a burning rage.
Until the beginning of the Chou hour.
A low roar that was clearly filled with tremendous anger suddenly came from Chu Qinghe's room.
"Dong-fang-bu-bai, I will kill you."
The next moment, two figures rushed out of Chu Qinghe's room one after another.
With the fluctuations of true energy, huge waves continued to echo.
Wherever the two women passed, it was like a strong wind passing through.
However, in just a few dozen breaths, the two women fought from Chu Qinghe's courtyard to outside the city.
However, at this moment, the two of them had obviously forgotten that Chu Qinghe, who was in the room, had not yet had his acupoints unblocked.
At this time, the door was still open.
Gusts of cold wind blew into the house.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe finally experienced what it felt like to feel a chill to the heart.
There was almost no time when I didn't feel cold all over my body.
Inside the room, Qu Feiyan turned over and continued to sleep while holding Xiao Zhao. The two little girls had no idea that their young master was suffering from the cold wind in his room at this moment!
