In fact, Yan Baibai knew.

When she was still the "Duqinglian", Tu Shanqing once told Jueqing Buddhist about the courtyard she dreamed of.

She wanted a yard in a beautiful location, with a pond nearby where her favorite fish would be raised. She also wanted a large garden, an orchard, and a vegetable patch.

"Most importantly, I must plant a tree outside my study that blooms with flowers in the spring. As long as I open the window, I can see the tree full of flowers."

"Jueqing, what kind of tree do you think should be planted outside my study?"

Tushan Qing's face was filled with smiles, her eyes filled with longing for the future. As the most beloved youngster of the Tushan Fox Clan, she knew very well that her elders would support her in achieving what she desired once her cultivation improved.

"A pear tree," Jueqing suggested with a smile. "When the pear tree blooms, the branches are covered with pure white flowers. In autumn, you can enjoy delicious pears."

"Well, sure." Tu Shanqing agreed with a smile, "I'll also put a lounge chair under the pear tree. When I get tired of practicing calligraphy, I can sit and admire the pear blossoms."

"That's a very good idea." Jueqing Buddhist replied. He knew in his heart that whatever she wanted to do could be accomplished. Even if there were any inconveniences, he would find a way to solve it.

"Then... Jueqing, do you want to watch the flowers with me?" Tu Shanqing's tone was a little cautious. She was testing the waters: "If you want to watch too, I'll put two lounge chairs under the pear tree."

At that time, the ruthless Buddhist did not answer.

——

From their perspective, they could only vaguely see that the courtyard below was a two-story courtyard. As for what was inside the courtyard, they would have to use their spiritual sense to investigate clearly.

Obviously, Jueqing Fozi and Yan Baibai didn't use their spiritual sense to investigate. Lu Wuxiu, who was standing by, had originally had no interest in what was happening below, but seeing how "happy" Yan Baibai was chatting with him, he unhappily put his spiritual sense down to investigate.

"What you're talking about isn't much different from the yard down below." Lu Wuxiu then joined the conversation, "Except for the two lounge chairs under the pear tree. Strangely, it's not pear blossom season yet, but the pear trees in the yard are in full bloom."

Upon hearing this, the heartless Buddhist almost stopped breathing.

"Perhaps it's maintained by some kind of formation." Yan Baibai added with a smile, "Just like the lotus pond below, the soil environment of the Wanjie Mountain is not suitable for growing lotus flowers. However, this water is very suitable for raising fish. The fish will definitely grow fat and beautiful."

"The former queen might not like fish and prefer lotus flowers." Lu Wuxiu guessed.

"It should be." Yan Baibai noticed the Jueqing Buddhist's sudden clenched fists and nodded.

She looked at the Jueqing Buddhist disciple beside her and deliberately asked, "What do you think, Jueqing Buddhist disciple?"

He was heartlessly silent. When Yan Baibai thought he would not answer, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Yan Baibai. His eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He should have looked terrified, but there was some water in his eyes, as if he wanted to cry but finally held it back.

"Your Highness, if the former queen loved eating fish, but ended up planting lotus flowers in the pond, what do you think was the reason?" Jueqing Buddhist's voice was not loud, like a person who was short of oxygen and finally got a little air. He asked cautiously, "I'm a little curious about this. Your Highness, the Saint, and she..."

"As a woman like the former queen, I would like to hear your speculation on this point."

"Actually, the pond is full of lotus flowers, and there are fish under the lotus flowers." Yan Baibai smiled and continued, "Perhaps the former queen likes to eat the fish that grow under the lotus flowers?"

Yan Baibai remembered that when Du Qinglian was still above the lotus pond, Tu Shanqing pointed at a fish flashing by under the lotus pond and said that he wanted to catch it and roast it to eat. Of course, he was stopped by the ruthless Buddhist disciple in the end.

Hearing Yan Baibai say this, Jueqing Buddhist looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes still determined to get an answer.

Yan Baibai's expression was serious, and he said seriously, "If the former queen loved fish more than lotus flowers, and ended up planting lotus flowers all over her only pond, it can only mean that there was someone she cared about more than fish, and that person loved lotus flowers, so she loved them too."

The ruthless Buddhist's eyes flashed, but he still looked at Yan Baibai without making any response. Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer and wanted Yan Baibai to continue analyzing it.

Yan Baibai was helpless and could only continue, "Or perhaps the lotus is an extremely important souvenir to her, perhaps to commemorate a certain person or a certain scene."

Yan Baibai couldn't help but complain in her heart: The person Tu Shanqing commemorated was you, the heartless Buddhist disciple, and the scene she commemorated was naturally the time you spent together in the lotus pond of Foshan Temple. Are you satisfied now?

The heavy stone in Jueqing Fozi's heart fell, and his tense body relaxed slightly. His expression warmed up. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Your Highness, why do you think we are here?"

When Yan Baibai saw the state of Jueqing Buddhist, he knew that his condition had become abnormal again. Ever since entering the demon world, he would occasionally enter this state centered on his inner world.

Yan Baibai's mind suddenly lit up, and he thought of something: Jueqing Fuzi, as a Buddhist cultivator, was too cold-hearted, while Tu Shanqing, as a fox demon, had a pure heart. When Jueqing Fuzi was almost expelled from the Buddhist sect, Tu Shanqing used the special power of the Duqing Lotus to exchange the two people's personalities.

Looking at the state of the heartless Buddhist now, it is obvious that his madness has nothing to do with his innocent heart. Whether it is the Tianji Pavilion causing a riot among people with demon blood, or participating in the conspiracy in the demon world, he is so cold and heartless, which seems to be his original temperament.
