The moment his palm turned over, a peculiar wave emanated from Chu Qinghe's hand.

Under this special force, the petals that were originally falling from the camellia tree were instantly pulled together by a pulling force and then fell to Chu Qinghe's side.

After Chu Qinghe moved his hand slightly, the gathered petals suddenly scattered and were pushed three feet away as if they had been hit by an invisible force.

"Um?"

At the same time Chu Qinghe made this move, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, who were originally fighting on the side, noticed the movement on Chu Qinghe's side and turned their eyes to Chu Qinghe.

When her gaze fell on Chu Qinghe's right hand, and she felt the familiar energy fluctuations as Chu Qinghe moved his hand, Yaoyue's expression changed drastically.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Chu Qinghe.

"How do you know my Yihua Palace's 'Yihua Jieyu'?"

Looking at Yaoyue, who was clearly taken aback, Chu Qinghe said, "I learned it by watching you guys fight these past few days."

"You learned it from watching us fight?"

Hearing Chu Qinghe's explanation, Yaoyue was slightly taken aback.

However, Dongfang Bubai, who was standing to the side, seemed to realize something.

Having experienced the Blood Fiend Palm before, Dongfang Bubai was shocked that Chu Qinghe had learned Yaoyue's "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique, but he could not completely accept it.

After a moment's thought, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yaoyue and asked, "What level has he reached with his 'Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Jade' technique?"

Recalling the scene of petals being pushed aside by Chu Qinghe's hand and the fluctuations that came from Chu Qinghe's side, Yaoyue said in a deep voice, "Skilled and adept."

As soon as those words were uttered, Dongfang Bubai's expression also hardened.

As if realizing something was amiss with Dongfang Bubai's question, Yaoyue looked at Dongfang Bubai and asked, "Why would you ask that?"

Dongfang Bubai said calmly, "Before you came, Feiyan and I practiced two sets of mystical martial arts. He learned them after just one glance and mastered them to the level of 'Returning to Simplicity'."

Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Yaoyue immediately understood their meaning.

When she looked at Chu Qinghe, her surprise deepened.

After responding to Yaoyue's call, Dongfang Bubai turned his gaze back to Chu Qinghe.

"However, I didn't expect that you could reach the 'mastery' level so quickly after watching a Heaven-rank martial art. It seems that your talent is much higher than I imagined."

Even for prodigies like Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, mastering a Heavenly Rank martial art takes months.

It takes several years to reach the level of "being proficient".

However, Chu Qinghe was able to master the skill immediately after learning it, which was truly astonishing.

After understanding the reason, Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe with surprise in her eyes.

But then, Yaoyue's expression darkened slightly.

As one of the two major martial arts techniques of the Yihua Palace, "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" is of extraordinary significance.

Only the current Palace Master of Yihua Palace is qualified to learn this skill, and it is never passed on to outsiders.

According to the rules of the Yihua Palace, any outsider who learns the "Mingyu Gong" or "Yihua Jieyu" will be killed without mercy.

If it were anyone else who had learned this "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique, they would have already met with Yaoyue's murderous intent.

But it was Chu Qinghe who learned the "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique, which made Yaoyue frown slightly.

Killing is definitely out of the question.

Even at this moment, Yaoyue did not express any dissatisfaction.

Putting everything else aside, the benefits gained from Chu Qinghe during this period alone are no less valuable than those from "Transplanting Flowers and Jade".

Not to mention, over the course of their time together, Chu Qinghe's importance in Yaoyue's heart has been steadily increasing.

However, at that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Yaoyue's mind, and she suddenly realized another point.

Although the secret techniques of the Yihua Palace cannot be passed on to outsiders, in Yaoyue's view, Chu Qinghe's learning of them cannot be considered as passing them on to outsiders.

Not to mention that Yaoyue did not voluntarily pass on the "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique to Chu Qinghe.

Strictly speaking, Chu Qinghe's learning of "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" did not violate palace rules.

A mid-grade Heaven-rank martial art, in exchange for Chu Qinghe.

This business is incredibly profitable.

As this thought surfaced in her mind, Yaoyue's expression quickly relaxed.

Thinking about it, when Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe, there was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

After all, the more outstanding one is, the more satisfying one will be.

After understanding the situation, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue resumed their previous sparring session.

After playing with the fallen leaves and petals for a while using the "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique, Chu Qinghe withdrew his internal energy.

As his gaze fell upon the two women, Chu Qinghe suddenly thought of the tailor shop in the city.

Thinking that he would be able to pick up the custom-made clothes and shoes in a few days, Chu Qinghe felt that time was passing a little slower.

As Chu Qinghe sipped his tea and let his thoughts wander, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, who had gone out to buy groceries earlier, returned to the courtyard.

As Xiao Zhao returned to the kitchen carrying a basket full of vegetables, Qu Feiyan ran to Chu Qinghe, picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, poured another cup, and then gently waved her hand to cool the water in the cup.

When Xiao Zhao came out of the kitchen, he handed her the teacup, which was at the perfect temperature.
