Two hours later, as the sunlight cooled and the temperature difference became more pronounced, Chu Qinghe finally woke up slowly.

After struggling to sit up, Chu Qinghe was dazed for a while before finally standing up once his body had calmed down a bit.

Sensing the movement beside him, Dongfang Bubai's eyelashes trembled slightly before he opened his eyes.

Just like yesterday, the moment he opened his eyes, Dongfang Bubai sat up instantly.

True Qi also circulated rapidly within the body at that instant.

But when his gaze focused and he clearly saw Chu Qinghe in front of him, Dongfang Bubai finally relaxed again.

He then stood up as if nothing had happened.

Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow as he took in Dongfang Bubai's reaction.

After a moment, Chu Qinghe shook his head.

A moment later, Qu Feiyan also slowly woke up and sat down at the stone table.

Chu Qinghe suddenly took the teacups from in front of the two women.

Then, in the sight of the two women, Chu Qinghe reached into his robes.

When she took her hand out, she found a medicine packet in it.

Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan, Chu Qinghe opened the medicine packet and poured a small amount of the brownish-red powder into each of the two women's cups.

He poured a little water into the cup and gently shook it a few times before placing it in front of the two women.

Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly as he looked at the cup in front of him.

When Qu Feiyan shifted her gaze from her teacup to Chu Qinghe, she looked bewildered and asked, "Have you always been so blatant in poisoning people?"

As Qu Yang's granddaughter, she is half a member of the Demonic Sect.

Poisoning is something that Qu Feiyan herself has done quite a few times, let alone witnessed it.

But if she asked herself honestly, Qu Feiyan had never met anyone like Chu Qinghe.

Poisoning someone in front of others.

This is no longer a question of whether someone is brave or not.

This is treating them like idiots!

Seeing Qu Feiyan's blank expression, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "If I were to poison you, would you even be able to see it?"

Then, Chu Qinghe explained, "This is the antidote."

"Antidote?"

Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, both Qu Feiyan and Dongfang Bubai looked doubtful.

But the next second, Dongfang Bubai, who was the first to react, quickly began to operate.

However, even after Dongfang Bubai circulated his true energy throughout his body for a full cycle, he did not detect any problems within his body.

Seeing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It's a latent poison, but if you add one more ingredient, it will become an immediately toxic, intestinal-piercing poison."

Qu Feiyan asked with a doubtful look, "Really?"

Chu Qinghe rolled her eyes and said, "It's not like I'd cheat you out of a single penny."

In response to Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai asked, "When did you poison him?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It was after I returned yesterday at midday."

Upon learning the time, Dongfang Bubai suddenly showed a look of realization.

He then looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "No wonder you were so confident in sharing that purple jade datura incense yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "The Purple Jade Datura Incense is secondary. It's just an external possession; once it's gone, it's gone. It's just for insurance purposes."

"After all, you are the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. It would be disrespectful to not be on guard against someone who knows the leader of the Sun Moon Sect."

Seeking talent is not a problem. With the system around, Chu Qinghe will naturally be able to acquire things like the Purple Jade Mandala in the future.

But what I fear most is that after seeking wealth, they might then commit murder.

This is a rather serious problem.

Upon hearing that Chu Qinghe had already guessed his identity, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

From their interactions yesterday to today, Dongfang Bubai has come to realize that Chu Qinghe in front of him is no ordinary person.

Being able to guess one's own identity was unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.

Then, Dongfang Bubai sneered and said, "Should I thank you for valuing me?"

Chu Qinghe shrugged.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's reaction, Dongfang Bubai was not angered.

Every strong person has their own pride.

The same applies to Dongfang Bubai.

A proud person like Dongfang Bubai would never feel resentful for suffering a loss.

Even if there is some, it's only dissatisfaction with oneself.

Only by living can one truly enjoy the fruits of one's labor.

When you die, you naturally lose everything.

That's always been the way things are in the martial arts world.

Therefore, in Dongfang Bubai's view, Chu Qinghe's ability to poison him without him even noticing was a testament to Chu Qinghe's skill.

This would actually make Dongfang Bubai think more highly of Chu Qinghe.

Rather than feeling dissatisfied.

Then, Dongfang Bubai picked up the teacup on the table, gently swirled it, and slowly said, "Since it's all to prevent problems before they occur, why did you reveal the truth and offer the antidote only a day later? Isn't it a bit too early to say you're relieved?"

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan's curiosity was also piqued.

Their gazes also fell on Chu Qinghe, clearly curious about this as well.

Chu Qinghe said lazily, "If the feeling is right, why think too much about anything else? Using your brain too much will only make you tired."

"Do you feel it?"

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's answer, Dongfang Bubai's eyes lit up.

Looking at Chu Qinghe in front of her, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but gleam with a hint of surprise.

A few breaths later, Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly, then picked up the cup and drank the water mixed with the medicinal powder in it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan also pouted and finished drinking the water in her cup.

After setting down the cup, Dongfang Bubai said, "Interesting. I'm now somewhat inclined to take you back to the Sun Moon Cult."

Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Forget it. Seeing how you can't even sleep soundly while you're in the Sun Moon Sect, I guess the Sun Moon Sect isn't suitable for me either. I'd rather stay in my own courtyard and sleep until I naturally wake up every day."

Before Dongfang Bubai could respond, Chu Qinghe continued, "Besides, no one can do anything to you here. The poison in this courtyard is simple, but it's more than enough to incapacitate a Grandmaster-level martial artist. Here, you can relax and sleep when it's time to sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qinghe slowly stood up and walked towards his room.

When Chu Qinghe said this, Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, obviously noticed something and couldn't help but glance at Dongfang Bubai.

In contrast, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly when faced with Chu Qinghe's words, his gaze unconsciously falling on the water glass in front of him.

As he pondered, Dongfang Bubai raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Qinghe's back as he stepped into the room. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
