The next day, as sunlight began to stream into the courtyard.

At this moment, in Chu Qinghe's courtyard, Dongfang Bubai stood with his hands behind his back.

The fiery red robe she wore seemed to be tinged with a golden halo under the morning sun, making it even more dazzling.

As Dongfang Bubai cultivated, a slow, crimson aura gradually swirled around his body, circulating along a unique path.

Under the influence of this true energy, the camellias that had originally fallen to the ground in the courtyard were stirred up and flowed around Dongfang Bubai like colorful ribbons.

Combined with Dongfang Bubai's own stunningly beautiful face, it was truly a picture of exquisite beauty.

Beside him, Chu Qinghe, who had just finished breakfast and was holding a cup of hot tea, looked at the beautiful scenery in the courtyard with a smile on his lips.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.

Seeing such a beautiful view so early in the morning can certainly lift one's spirits at the start of the day.

A moment later, looking at Qu Feiyan, who was resting her chin on her hands and watching Dongfang Bubai cultivate, Chu Qinghe said indifferently, "Even someone with the cultivation of a mid-stage Grandmaster like Dongfang Bubai knows to diligently cultivate early in the morning. What are you doing sitting here? Why don't you come with him?"

Yesterday, Qu Feiyan only spent a short time cultivating after returning to her room in the evening after finishing her chess game.

But before Chu Qinghe could fall asleep, the internal energy fluctuations in the girl's room disappeared.

This cultivation is purely sporadic, like fishing for three days and drying nets for two.

No wonder he's only at the third-rate perfect realm now.

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan glanced at him and asked, "Then why don't you cultivate?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe looked at Qu Feiyan with a serious expression: "Because I'm lazy."

Qu Feiyan: "......."

Qu Feiyan was full of questions when faced with Chu Qinghe's explanation.

It seemed that they didn't quite understand how Chu Qinghe could say those words so confidently.

A moment later, Qu Feiyan, who had no idea how to refute Chu Qinghe, got up with a frustrated look and walked into the courtyard to stand in another corner and began to cultivate.

Chu Qinghe yawned, and when the two women weren't paying attention, he shook out all the medicinal powder from his sleeve.

After all, there were two strangers in the house, so although Chu Qinghe returned to his room early last night, he was in a daze and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

After collecting the powder from the table, Chu Qinghe muttered to himself, "I should have just slept soundly last night. All this trouble for nothing."

However, although he couldn't help but complain in his heart, at least the safety was now confirmed. Not only was Chu Qinghe's vigilance greatly reduced, but his plan to poison people and run away could also be temporarily put aside!

Sitting at the stone table, Chu Qinghe would glance at the youthful and beautiful Qu Feiyan, and then at the domineering and heroic Dongfang Bubai beside him.

I didn't find it boring at all.

Sometimes, a man's happiness comes from something so simple and unpretentious.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Qu Feiyan stopped cultivating her inner strength.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't.

In theory, a martial artist's physical constitution determines the strength of their meridians and the flow of internal energy or true qi.

However, meridians all have their limits.

Therefore, when a martial artist is cultivating internal energy, once the meridians begin to show abnormalities, they cannot continue cultivating.

Otherwise, it will be harmful and not beneficial.

Judging from the duration of Qu Feiyan's internal energy cultivation, Chu Qinghe could roughly determine Qu Feiyan's talent.

It's not bad.

They are capable of reaching a level of exceptional talent.

However, compared to Dongfang Bubai, he is far inferior.

As early as when Chu Qinghe got up and left his room, Dongfang Bubai had already begun cultivating.

By now, the total time has added up to almost an hour.

From this perspective, Dongfang Bubai's innate talent is at least at the level of a once-in-a-millennium talent.

Coupled with Dongfang Bubai's own efforts, it's no wonder that he was able to reach the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm at such a young age.

On the other side, after stopping her internal energy cultivation, Qu Feiyan calmed down a bit and began practicing her palm techniques.

To be honest, watching Qu Feiyan practicing her palm techniques meticulously under the sunlight reminded Chu Qinghe of the morning calisthenics he did every day in his previous life when he was still in school.

That was my lost youth.

"How about we review it again now?"

Almost the instant he thought of this, Chu Qinghe felt as if a boy in his mind was speaking clearly and loudly, "The times are calling, let's begin now."

However, thinking about how he was currently chanting "one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four" while doing stretching exercises, Chu Qinghe suppressed the thought again.

After all, doing this kind of thing at my age feels a little embarrassing.

Afterwards, Chu Qinghe, having collected his thoughts, turned his gaze back to Qu Feiyan.

However, half an hour later, after watching Qu Feiyan demonstrate the palm technique from beginning to end, a system notification suddenly popped up in front of Chu Qinghe.

[Ding! Detected a low-grade Xuan-level palm technique, "Blood Fiend Palm." Would you like to learn it?]

"Um?"

Looking at the notification message in front of him, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but pause for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Qinghe had an idea and directly chose "Study".

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the system's feedback appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully learned the low-grade Xuan-level palm technique, "Blood Fiend Palm."]
