Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded slightly.

After his gaze lingered on Chu Qinghe for a moment, Dongfang Bubai flashed away and sped off into the distance.

After Dongfang Bubai left, Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "You are quite thoughtful."

The implication was naturally that Chu Qinghe had prepared this for Dongfang Bubai.

Although there are only two items, combined with the effects of the Jade Bean Pill given by Chu Qinghe earlier, it's unlikely that anything unexpected will happen to Dongfang Bubai given his current strength.

Chu Qinghe said softly, "After all, we're traveling, so it's always good to be careful."

After saying that, Chu Qinghe slowly stood up and waved to the girls, saying, "Let's go! The water in the pool will get cold in a little while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qinghe went into the wine room, selected a small jar of wine, and headed towards the backyard.

Seeing this, the three women each returned to their rooms to get their change of clothes.

Fifteen minutes later.

Just as the four of them entered the backyard and soaked in the pool, a fiery red figure suddenly entered the courtyard where Chu Qinghe was and flashed into Chu Qinghe's room.

After a short while, they quickly left Chu Qinghe's room and sped away.

backyard.

At this moment, the moon in the pool seemed to have noticed something, and she softly hummed and turned her head.

Noticing Yaoyue's movements, Qu Feiyan asked curiously, "What's wrong, Sister Yue?"

However, after Qu Feiyan spoke, Yaoyue did not seem to notice anything further.

He then said "It's nothing" in a low voice and closed his eyes to enjoy the warm spring water.

Perhaps because that annoying woman was no longer there, Yaoyue had a smile on her lips as she soaked in the bath.

...

North of the city.

At this time, Sang San Niang and the others had already prepared carriages and horses and were waiting outside the city gate.

When Dongfang Bubai appeared, Sang San Niang and the others all bowed in respect.

After Dongfang Bubai waved his sleeve to signal, Sang Sanniang stood up and said, "Master, I have already sent a message back to the sect as instructed by you."

Dongfang Bubai gave a soft "hmm".

Seeing this, Sang San Niang quickly stepped aside to wait for Dongfang Bubai to get into the carriage.

However, as Sang San Niang and the others turned around, Dongfang Bubai did not move immediately, but instead turned his head to look at Yushui City behind him.

His gaze was directed towards the direction of Chu Qinghe's courtyard.

Some things, once they take root, are hard to uproot from the heart.

For Dongfang Bubai, this was how he spent his time in Chu Qinghe's courtyard.

Although Dongfang Bubai knew he would be reluctant to leave, when the time actually came, the lingering attachment in his heart still made it difficult for him to take a step.

It was as if somewhere in her heart, she was always resisting leaving that courtyard and the man in it.

Moreover, after leaving Chu Qinghe's courtyard, Dongfang Bubai felt uneasy for some reason.

After a long while, Dongfang Bubai forcibly withdrew his gaze and took a light step.

As Dongfang Bubai boarded the carriage, Sang Sanniang and other disciples of the Sun Moon Sect also mounted their horses one after another, and they sped away into the night.

...

In the courtyard.

As Chu Qinghe and the others returned to the courtyard, after drinking a sip of slightly cooled wine, the lingering heat from their bath was somewhat relieved.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's leisurely and lazy demeanor, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young Master, aren't you worried at all now that Sister Dongfang has left?"

Not only Qu Feiyan and Yaoyue, but even Xiao Zhao, who had been gradually clearing her mind these past few days, could clearly sense Chu Qinghe's relaxed state at this moment.

She certainly didn't look like she had just parted ways with someone important.

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Why should I be reluctant?"

The few simple words he uttered caused the three goddesses beside him to freeze in shock.

Then, amidst the three women's confusion, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Do you think that with Dongfang's current strength, apart from Yihua Palace, there are any rivals in this southwestern region?"

Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and said, "Now that Sister Dongfang has already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, in this southwestern region, as long as Sister Yue and that Celestial Realm expert from the Yihua Palace don't make a move, there shouldn't be anyone who can defeat her!"

Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "That's settled then. It's just a farewell, not a life-or-death separation. Why should I worry?"

Qu Feiyan said, "It's different! After all, we spend every day together. If Sister Dongfang suddenly leaves, we'll definitely feel sad!"

In response to Qu Feiyan's words, Chu Qinghe took a sip of wine and said lazily, "Every separation is a prelude to the next reunion. Sometimes, separation can actually strengthen feelings and improve relationships. So why be so hesitant?"

In fact, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue are born strong women. If you don't provoke me, I won't bother with you.

However, Yaoyue belongs to the type that is naturally high above, standing in the clouds.

They belong to the type who are born into a company and have to maintain its stability.

Compared to Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai is the type who enjoys watching a company grow stronger step by step until it stands at the very top.

Such a person is not born with the personality to be content with staying in one place.
