As the moon drifted into the courtyard, upon entering the inner courtyard, one could see the enormous, umbrella-shaped camellia tree.

Feeling the fresh fragrance of camellia trees filling the air, Yaoyue's eyes lit up.

A few breaths later, her body, like a kite, floated lightly onto the roof of the main house where Chu Qinghe lived.

The entire process was conducted without making a sound or movement.

In addition, the tree branches in the courtyard were level with the roof, so even if Yaoyue did not deliberately hide herself, Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan in the courtyard did not notice that there was another person in the house.

As the workers pushed the carts loaded with potted plants into the inner courtyard and unloaded them, arranging them in different locations according to Chu Qinghe's instructions, the courtyard instantly became lush and green.

When the workers looked at the garden full of flowers and plants in front of them and handed the water cup to Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why did you buy so many flowers, young master?"

Chu Qinghe, taking the water glass, casually said, "I feel insecure. The poison I set up a few days ago is no longer effective, so I'm going to upgrade the poison in this courtyard."

"Hmm? Feeling insecure?"

Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe with a puzzled expression in response to his words.

Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Do you think that person yesterday was after you or me?"

Qu Feiyan replied without hesitation, "Those people are all at the first-rate perfection level, they shouldn't be here for me and the young master!"

Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "That settles it then. Yesterday, that person was clearly after that sect leader."

"And looking across the entire Ming Dynasty, those who dare to keep an eye on her are probably not ordinary people. It's always good to be a little more prepared."

The idea of ​​being prepared for a rainy day is never outdated in Chu Qinghe's area.

If someone sends over a top-tier, perfected martial artist right from the start, what about next time?

What if they just send over a martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm?

Before his hard power has been established, Chu Qinghe felt it was best to be cautious.

Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and then nodded, "That's true!"

After responding, Qu Feiyan pointed to the plants in the courtyard and said, "But does Young Master only use these flowers and plants?"

After taking a sip of water, Chu Qinghe softly hummed, "That's enough!"

Every plant has its own medicinal or toxic properties. If combined properly, even the most common and harmless flowers and grasses can produce a silent and deadly poison.

High-level poison masters always use the simplest and most unpretentious raw materials.

Qu Feiyan glanced at the potted plants and asked, "But isn't this too many?"

Qu Feiyan felt that the number of potted plants Chu Qinghe bought was enough to fill the entire yard.

In response, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "Since we're going to buy things anyway, we might as well buy more and decorate the yard at the same time."

Life is all about refinement and decoration.

At least it's my own home, so changing the decorations now and then can at least improve my mood.

Then, Chu Qinghe slowly got up, took a few steps forward, and walked to some plants.

Alternatively, you can make a small cut in the leaves and stems of some plants and sprinkle some powder on them, or simply manipulate some plants.

After treating these few plants individually, Chu Qinghe walked to the center of the courtyard.

With a flick of his sleeves, Chu Qinghe unleashed his inner energy, causing piles of dust to disperse from his sleeves and drift across the courtyard.

At the same time, Qu Feiyan seemed to sense something, and with a slight doubt in her heart, she raised her head and gently sniffed, inexplicably feeling that there was a bit more tranquil scent in the air.

The feeling was as if they were not in the courtyard of an ordinary family, but rather in the countryside, which made Qu Feiyan's face show a look of intoxication.

However, before Qu Feiyan could even savor the inexplicably pleasant smell of the air, Chu Qinghe, who was walking over, patted her on the head.

"You should change your habit of sniffing things randomly; it's toxic."

Hearing this, Qu Feiyan, who had come to her senses, pouted and said, "Anyway, didn't you poison him yourself, young master? What's there to be afraid of!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes before walking toward the stone table.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan immediately followed.

After pouring a glass of water, Chu Qinghe sprinkled some medicinal powder into the glass and placed it in front of Qu Feiyan.

After drinking the water mixed with the medicine, Qu Feiyan finally spoke, "Is there any difference between the poisons you prepared today and those from before?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Yes! The previous one was relatively mild, and it wouldn't cause any problems if it wasn't triggered. This one is more direct."

Qu Feiyan's interest was piqued, and she asked, "What specific effects?"

Chu Qinghe explained calmly, "It's nothing. If someone breaks into the house, once they use martial arts, the medicine that enters the body through breathing will react and invade the true qi or internal force, turning it into a deadly poison."

Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan's eyes widened.

"This poison is actually specifically designed for martial artists?"

Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Nonsense, otherwise why would I guard against ordinary people? You could take on ten of them by yourself."

roof.

Under the camellia tree, Yaoyue listened to the conversation between the two below and learned that Chu Qinghe had actually poisoned her. Yaoyue frowned slightly.

Using poison is a despicable act in the martial arts world.

For someone as proud as Yaoyue, using poison would be an even more despicable and petty act.

However, when Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe through the gaps in the camellia branches and leaves and gazed at his handsome face for a few moments, she shook her head again.

"Well, poisoning someone in your own home as a precaution, rather than to actively harm them, is understandable. It does set him apart from the usual despicable people."

After a few moments of contemplation, Yaoyue's nose twitched slightly.

In an instant, the fragrance of camellias mixed with a unique and subtle aroma entered my nose.

This particularly refreshing scent made Yaoyue feel that the fragrance in the air was even more comforting than the air in the Yihua Palace.

Yaoyue nodded in satisfaction, a smile playing on her lips. "It tastes good!"

As for the poison in the air, Yaoyue didn't care at all.

Who could she invite to the moon? A Grandmaster-level expert, with his true qi flowing endlessly, renders ordinary poisons useless.

How could someone possibly be poisoned by a young master in this small town who set up a poison in his own home?

Therefore, after feeling the freshness of the air, Yaoyue's breaths became slightly longer.
