Looking at Chu Qinghe, who was leaning back slightly and touching his belly without regard for his image, Qu Feiyan's eyes were also filled with smiles.

After all, seeing someone eat so heartily is indeed a source of satisfaction for the chef.

After resting for a while, Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan began to clear the dishes off the table and headed to the kitchen.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's actions, Dongfang Bubai hesitated for a moment, then, as if possessed, picked up the remaining bowls and plates on the table and walked into the kitchen together.

When Chu Qinghe turned around and helped deal with Dongfang Bubai, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Noticing Chu Qinghe's gaze, Dongfang Bubai said calmly, "Since you don't charge rent, I won't eat and stay for free."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Very well, then I'll trouble Miss Dongfang to help with the tidying up."

Chu Qinghe was naturally happy to have someone help with housework.

After all, having one more person to do the work means Chu Qinghe can be even lazier.

However, Chu Qinghe, who was facing Dongfang Bubai at this moment, did not notice.

Just as she finished speaking, Qu Feiyan, who had just poured water into the wooden basin to wash the dishes, suddenly widened her eyes and stiffened.

However, Dongfang Bubai keenly noticed this.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly.

As Chu Qinghe slowly walked outside, Dongfang Bubai stepped forward and began washing the remaining dishes with Qu Feiyan.

Facing Dongfang Bubai standing beside her, Qu Feiyan became quiet.

Even their movements became somewhat unconsciously stiff and cautious.

Just as Qu Feiyan was taking the last bowl out of the water with an eerie feeling, Dongfang Bubai, while wiping the water stains off the bowls with a coarse cloth, remarked, "You must be Elder Qu's granddaughter!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan's body trembled violently, and the bowl she was holding fell to the ground.

But Dongfang Bubai caught it instantly and then wiped it with a blank expression.

Coming to her senses, Qu Feiyan quickly turned around and lowered her head, her voice slightly nervous as she said, "Qu Feiyan greets the Sect Leader. May the Sect Leader achieve both literary and martial prowess and unify the martial world."

In response to Qu Feiyan's words, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Qu Feiyan and said indifferently, "You are Elder Qu's granddaughter, but you are not a member of my Sun Moon Divine Sect. There is no need for you to bow to me."

Then, Dongfang Bubai asked, "Why are you here?"

Qu Feiyan replied, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, my grandfather is busy dealing with matters of the Sun Moon Sect and is worried that leaving me alone at home will attract enemies."

"So when Grandpa went out, Feiyan would hide outside."

In the world of martial arts, who can be without enemies?

Not to mention the elders in the Sun Moon Cult.

Over the decades, even the elders of the Sun Moon Cult probably don't know how many enemies they have.

Back then, Qu Feiyan's parents were murdered by their enemies after Qu Yang left.

From then on, Qu Yang never dared to leave Qu Feiyan alone at home whenever he went out, lest his only granddaughter also suffer an accident.

Hearing what Qu Feiyan said, Dongfang Bubai's originally cold expression softened slightly.

He responded with a soft "hmm".

After setting down the last bowl he had wiped clean, Dongfang Bubai said slowly, "Furthermore, I do not wish for my true identity to be exposed."

Although the voice was soft and gentle, the fact that these words came from Dongfang Bubai's mouth gave people an undeniable sense of command.

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan quickly agreed.

"Feiyan knows."

Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

As she walked, her long skirt swayed gently, exuding a strong and domineering aura.

It's hard to imagine that this is the same person who was just washing dishes in the kitchen.

After Dongfang Bubai left, Qu Feiyan let out a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but raise her hand to pat her flat chest, looking quite frightened.

But after a moment, Qu Feiyan, whose mood had calmed down slightly, felt like crying but had no tears.

Originally, I just wanted to find a place to hide and stay for a few months, but now...

Even Dongfang Bubai has arrived.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

Who is Dongfang Bubai? He has a fearsome reputation.

Within the entire Sun Moon Cult, even an elder like Qu Yang was trembling with fear when facing Dongfang Bubai.

He was terrified that a single misstep could lead to his death.

Not to mention little kids like Qu Feiyan.

The thought of having to spend every day with such a vicious person made Qu Feiyan's feelings all too clear.

The situation was truly one of utter panic.

But if Qu Feiyan could have run away before Dongfang Bubai discovered her.

But now, Qu Feiyan is worried that the moment she steps out of Chu Qinghe's door, she will be dead.

Thinking of this, Qu Feiyan's face fell.

"This is like jumping into a fire pit."

.........

After a while, Qu Feiyan, having composed herself, finally came out of the kitchen.

As Qu Feiyan entered the courtyard, the first thing she saw was Chu Qinghe carrying a recliner out of the storeroom and placing it in a sunny spot in the courtyard.

Then they moved a small, square wooden table and placed it next to the recliner.

Then they placed the small stove and teapot on the stone table.
