Noticing Dongfang Bubai's gaze, Xue Qianxun beside him also looked at the three people under the camellia tree.

When Xue Qianxun's gaze fell upon Chu Qinghe, even she paused for a moment.

"Brother-in-law, you're so handsome!"

Although Chu Qinghe was the first to find Xue Qianxun, the poison he used had kept her unconscious from beginning to end, and she never saw Chu Qinghe's true face.

Even though Xue Qianxun knew from Dongfang Bubai's words that Chu Qinghe was extraordinary in appearance, she realized that Dongfang Bubai's previous description of Chu Qinghe's appearance was still conservative when she actually saw him.

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was on her side, Shuimu Yinji slowly stood up.

Noticing the movement of the jellyfish princess, Lianxing also stood up.

As Dongfang Bubai approached, Shuimu Yinji smiled sweetly and said, "Elder sister."

Lianxing, who was standing nearby, followed suit and greeted her, "Big Sister."

"Um!"

Upon hearing the two women's greetings, Dongfang Bubai nodded subconsciously and continued walking.

"Um?"

But after taking another step, as if realizing something, Dongfang Bubai suddenly turned his gaze away from Chu Qinghe and onto Lianxing.

Reflecting on Lianxing's earlier address to him, and glancing at Chu Qinghe beside him, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew perfectly well what the change in Lianxing's address to him meant.

Feeling Dongfang Bubai's gaze, Lianxing, who came later, couldn't help but lower her head, looking somewhat shy.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai's gaze lingered on Lianxing for a few moments before his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression unconsciously darkened.

"Heh~ These two sisters are definitely related, they're exactly the same."

Noticing the obvious displeasure in Dongfang Bubai's eyes, Lianxing sighed inwardly.

"Sure enough, Dongfang Bubai doesn't want me to follow my brother-in-law either."

Thinking about it, Lianxing couldn't help but feel fortunate that it was Water Mother Yin Ji who had been in this courtyard during this time.

Otherwise, if Dongfang Bubai were in this courtyard, how could he possibly have any chance?

As Lianxing's thoughts raced, Dongfang Bubai once again walked over and sat down beside Chu Qinghe.

After Dongfang Bubai sat down, Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing also sat down.

However, when Lianxing sat down, she moved a few steps to sit next to Shuimu Yinji.

Throughout the process, Dongfang Bubai kept his gaze fixed on Lianxing, his eyes cold and displeased.

After Lianxing sat down, Dongfang Bubai sent a telepathic message to Shuimu Yinji, asking, "What's going on?"

Faced with Dongfang Bubai's question, the smile on Shuimu Yinji's face quickly faded, replaced by a helpless expression.

"Can't you see, eldest sister? It's all second sister's doing!"

Upon hearing Shuimu Yinji's words, Dongfang Bubai frowned: "What does that stupid woman mean?"

As he asked the question, a hint of doubt inevitably appeared on Dongfang Bubai's face.

But the next second, Dongfang Bubai, having regained his senses, narrowed his eyes and transmitted his true energy, saying, "You mean, that stupid woman, in order to compete with me for the position, voluntarily sent her own sister to Qinghe's side?"

Jellyfish Yin Ji nodded in response, "Yes! I only came to realize this some time after I entered the Great Song Dynasty."

Upon hearing the words of Jellyfish Yin Ji, Dongfang Bubai, realizing what was happening, couldn't help but recall the scene before Chu Qinghe and the others set off for the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, Dongfang Bubai noticed that Yaoyue had taken the initiative to let Lianxing go to the Great Song Dynasty with Chu Qinghe and the others. He regretted not bringing Xue Qianxun along, missing an opportunity to broaden his horizons and gain experience.

Who would have thought that the woman, Yaoyue, had sent Lianxing to the Song Dynasty with Chu Qinghe and the others for this very purpose.

So the idea is to let Lianxing and Chu Qinghe spend time together and cultivate their feelings for each other.

"That stupid woman, she's really good at hiding her true intentions."

Originally, when Chu Qinghe and his group were about to go to the Great Song Dynasty, Dongfang Bubai did not go because he was concerned about Xue Qianxun, who had gone astray and whose personality had changed drastically. During the process, he also did not want to see Yaoyue take advantage of him, so he provoked her.

They thought Yaoyue had been tricked, but unexpectedly, she took advantage of the situation and secretly sent Lianxing to Chu Qinghe's side. Dongfang Bubai also thought that Yaoyue had been tricked and had many doubts about Lianxing going to the Song Dynasty with Chu Qinghe.

But now that the incident has happened, the more Dongfang Bubai thinks about it, the more something feels wrong.

It even felt like being pecked in the eye by a wild goose.

"Good, very good!"

After understanding Yaoyue's intentions, Dongfang Bubai's expression darkened further, and his chest even heaved slightly, clearly indicating that he was quite angry.

Then, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Shuimu Yinji and secretly transmitted his voice, "Since you've discovered it, are you just going to let things happen?"

Jellyfish Yin Ji looked helpless and said, "Since it's Second Sister's wish, what can I, as her younger sister, do?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai frowned, but considering Shuimu Yinji's past performance and Yaoyue's domineering nature, Dongfang Bubai couldn't bring himself to vent his dissatisfaction on Shuimu Yinji.

But when he glanced at Lianxing to the side, Dongfang Bubai sneered inwardly.

"So what if there are two of them? Do you really think this leader is afraid?"

From the moment Lianxing addressed Dongfang Bubai as "elder sister," to now, under the influence of Shuimu Yinji, Dongfang Bubai has unknowingly come to believe that Lianxing's successful rise to power was due to Yaoyue's secret instruction.

I never considered that what was Yaoyue's original intention in sending Lianxing to the Song Dynasty with Chu Qinghe?
