The positions of the three people lying down were determined by the palms and backs of their hands.

With one hand behind their head and their eyes slightly raised, the bright moonlight, as clear as a silver plate, immediately entered their eyes.

Every now and then, ripples spread across the pond, causing the surface to ripple gently and shimmer.

A gentle breeze occasionally blows, causing the drooping willow branches by the pond to sway and make a soft rustling sound.

In the stillness of the moonlight, Dongfang Bubai and Shuimu Yinji leaned slightly to the side, each resting their heads on Chu Qinghe's arm or body, enjoying the comfort of being close to their beloved in silence.

Only Yaoyue, who had just lost to the one furthest away, could only watch helplessly as her expression gradually darkened.

......

The next day.

morning.

As sunlight bathed most of the inner courtyard, Qu Feiyan, who was eating breakfast at the stone table under the tree, swallowed her food and looked at Lianxing, who looked melancholy and depressed, with a puzzled expression. "Didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so bad so early in the morning?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Lianxing said softly, "It's because I slept too well last night that I'm in such a bad mood."

Hearing Lianxing's words, not only Qu Feiyan, but also Wanwan, Lin Shiyin, and Xiao Zhao all looked at Lianxing with puzzled expressions.

Clearly, they didn't understand what Lianxing meant.

Seeing this, Lianxing sighed again in her heart.

Yesterday was supposed to be the day Lianxing entered the main house.

But last night I accidentally drank too much and had too much fun, and before I knew it, I had drunk too much.

When Lianxing woke up early in the morning, she realized that she was not holding Chu Qinghe, but Wanwan.

Moreover, Qu Feiyan had one foot draped over her.

Just thinking about the scene of Dongfang Bubai and the other two walking out of Chu Qinghe's room in high spirits made Lianxing feel as if she had lost the whole world.

My heart aches so much I can hardly breathe.

I'm so annoyed.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Bubai and his two companions, who had successfully taken advantage of the situation, continued eating their breakfast with nonchalant ease.

Her posture was elegant and dignified, and her movements were full of beauty.

In response, Lianxing couldn't help but look resentfully at her older sister Yaoyue, and then at Shuimu Yinji, who was more like a sister to her than a biological sister.

At that moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the relationship between the sisters.

Just as Qu Feiyan was about to ask a few more questions to find out why Lianxing was in a bad mood, Yaoyue's voice suddenly rang out.

"After finishing my meal and buying groceries, I will continue to refine the energy within my body, striving to break through again as soon as possible."

The Evil Emperor's Relic contains the pure essence of successive Evil Emperors. Even after being purified by the "Absorption Technique," the remaining energy is still extraordinary.

Even Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and the other three could only contain most of the energy; the remaining small portion was transferred to the bodies of Qu Feiyan, Wanwan, Xue Qianxun, and the other five.

For Qu Feiyan and the others, this enormous energy could not simply be a matter of raising their cultivation level by one level.

On their way back from the Tang Dynasty, although the five of them had successfully refined the energy within their bodies, a considerable amount of energy still remained.

If they could refine this energy as well, Qu Feiyan and the others might even be able to break through again.

Upon hearing Yaoyue's words, Qu Feiyan responded with an "Oh".

After the meal, while Qu Feiyan and the others went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes, Chu Qinghe got up and went into the main house.

After grinding ink and writing a letter, Chu Qinghe finally came out with the letter in his hand.

Qu Feiyan, who happened to be coming out of the kitchen, looked at the things in Chu Qinghe's hands and asked curiously, "Young Master, are you going out?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Didn't we talk about this before? Ask Sun Baifa about the dragon vein, see how much of what Yuan Tiangang said was true and how much was false, and then go out and buy some plants and fishing rods."

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan and the others quickly followed and walked outside together.

After Chu Qinghe and the others left, Yaoyue slowly stood up.

However, when they entered the inner courtyard, as if she had thought of something, Yaoyue suddenly turned her head to look at Dongfang Bubai beside her.

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai also got up and walked to the side, Yaoyue narrowed her eyes and said, "Now that a separate courtyard has been built, don't you know to go there to cultivate?"

Upon hearing what Yaoyue said, Dongfang Bubai coldly replied, "What a joke! I, the leader of this sect, have been in this courtyard the longest. If anyone should be given a seat, it should be some big-breasted, brainless stupid woman, not me, the leader of this sect."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the gazes of both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue turned icy cold.

A few breaths later, the two women snorted in unison and quickly closed their eyes to begin cultivating.

While Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were cultivating with their eyes closed, Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing exchanged a glance, both of them understanding perfectly.

It is now April. According to the agreement between Chu Qinghe and Gongzi Yu, Gongzi Yu will hand over the land of the Great Ming Kingdom in August or September.

Therefore, in the next few months, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue will have to decide who will enter the Ming Dynasty's palace and who will go to the Song Dynasty.

Based on what Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing know about Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.

The two will likely reach a decision soon.

Naturally, the tension between Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue will only intensify in the time to come.

After a brief exchange of glances, the two decisively slipped into the other courtyard.
