Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai sat outside the courtyard wall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation for one or two hours.

"Brother, why hasn't Master come out yet?"

Qin Jingmu could tell that Qin Jingtai was clearly getting restless.

"Didn't you want to see your little sister? Didn't you want to become her disciple? You can't even stay still for two hours!"

"In that case, you don't need to see your little sister anymore, and you don't need to become her apprentice."

Although Qin Jingmu didn't want to be implicated and humiliated by Qin Jingtai, seeing Qin Jingtai give up halfway through made him feel...

Qin Jingmu was also very angry.

"Brother, why don't we think of a way to lure Master out?"

Upon hearing Qin Jingtai's words, Qin Jingmu's eyelids twitched, and he felt a sense of foreboding.

Thinking back to last time, Qin Jingmu refused without even thinking this time.

"No, I disagree."

Qin Jingmu's gaze towards Qin Jingtai seemed to say, 'Don't give me bad ideas, and if you do, don't involve me.'

Qin Jingmu also noticeably moved his seat further away.

But Qin Jingtai, that wooden stump, didn't know that, and then moved it next to Qin Jingmu.

Qin Jingmu's eyes were filled with the message, 'Don't come any closer!'

"Why, brother? I think I can..."

"Stop. Don't just tell me what you think; tell me what I think."

I don't think that will work.

When Qin Jingtai heard Qin Jingmu say "no," he gave up and sat there dejectedly.

Qin Jingtai was heartbroken when his brother disagreed with his ideas, then he turned his head...

I saw a moving green thing?

This terrified Qin Jingtai. "Ahhh!"

Qin Jingtai jumped onto Qin Jingmu in fear, while Qin Jingmu looked completely bewildered.

"What are you yelling about? And why did you jump on me?"

"Don't strangle me, get off me!"

Qin Jingtai jumped onto Qin Jingmu and put his arm around Qin Jingmu's neck.

Qin Jingtai just kept yelling "Ah ah ah" at whatever Qin Jingmu said, completely oblivious to what Qin Jingmu was actually saying.

Qin Jingmu's face turned bright red because Qin Jingtai had touched her neck.

He even gritted his teeth and shouted, "Qin! Jing! Tai!"

"Are you asking for a beating?!?!"

Qin Jingtai was still somewhat afraid when he heard his older brother call out to him through gritted teeth.

Although Qin Jingtai was somewhat afraid of Qin Jingmu, he still refused to get off Qin Jingmu, and simply said...

"Brother, over there... there's a ghost over there!"

"Is there a ghost?"

Qin Jingtai pointed in a direction, and Qin Jingmu looked in that direction, but didn't see anything ghostly.

"Where is Qin Jingtai hiding the ghosts you're talking about? If you don't want to wait here for Zou Heng, just say so. There's no need to talk about ghosts."

When Qin Jingtai heard Qin Jingmu say there were no ghosts, he was half-believing and half-doubting, and slowly turned his head to look in that direction.

"How could there not be? I clearly saw a green thing there just now."

Qin Jingtai jumped off Qin Jingmu and said, but Qin Jingmu didn't quite believe him.

Qin Jingtai grabbed Qin Jingmu's arm and led him to the place where he had just seen the ghost.

"Brother, come with me and take a look. You'll see for yourself. I really did see it just now."

"Okay! I'll go with you and see for myself."

"But don't pull me!"

Qin Jingtai didn't care whether Qin Jingmu allowed him to hold her hand or not; he just kept holding Qin Jingmu's hand.

Upon reaching the spot, Qin Jingtai pointed to the place where he had just seen the green thing stay.

Qin Jingmu followed the gaze and saw nothing, but then he saw a dog hole.

"you……"

Qin Jingtai also looked over, his face filled with disbelief.

"How is that possible? I just saw a green blob, why would there be a dog hole here?!"

Qin Jingmu ignored Qin Jingtai.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, separated by a wall

While Chunhe and Xiaju weren't looking, Xiaoxi'er slipped out through the dog hole.

Less than fifteen minutes later, it crawled back in.

The green, moving thing Qin Jingtai saw was Xiao Xi'er's little bottom sticking up when she crawled back.

Xiao Xi sneezed immediately, and Chunhe was worried that Xiao Xi had caught a cold.

Chunhe also cooked a bowl of ginger water for Xiaoxi.

Qin Jingtai thought for a while and came to an answer.

"Bro, a green dog must have crawled in there just now."

"That dog, poor thing, is it going to be stewed and eaten by Father Emperor?? How terrifying!"

Qin Jingtai was terrified by what he was saying, rubbing his arms together, worried that he might also be stewed and eaten by his father.

Qin Jingmu said he was speechless again and again about Qin Jingtai.

Although I don't know if my father eats human flesh, if he heard this, he would probably want to try Qin Jingtai's flesh.

That's right, Qin Jingmu's thinking was completely correct.

If Qin Jue heard this, Qin Jingtai would truly be doomed.

Qin Jue said, "Thank you for being my son. I don't eat dog meat, nor do I eat human flesh."

However, I might consider tasting your human flesh, Qin Jingtai.

Let's see if fried food is tastier, braised food is tastier, steamed food is tastier, or stewed food is tastier?

"Brother, what do you suggest we do?"

Qin Jingtai asked with great concern

"Shut up, you idiot!"

"Brother~, you scolded me again."

Qin Jingtai was scolded. He wasn't scared or anything else; he just felt wronged.

Qin Jingmu rubbed his forehead, not wanting to see Qin Jingtai anymore.

Just as Qin Jingmu withdrew his gaze and prepared to walk back...

The grass around where the dog hole was found had all been flattened.
