Three days later.
The Qu family stood by the Dragon Pool with a sigh of relief.
Looking back on those three days.
Life was incredibly difficult.
Has anyone ever seen someone stealing another person's meals in broad daylight? Has anyone ever seen someone practicing exercises on the radio in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
They've seen it!
These three days.
The Qu family members couldn't eat or sleep well.
They all agreed that the culprit—Qu Jian'er—was someone sent by heaven to punish them.
They were transported back 4,000 years to experience firsthand what it was like to serve the Empress Dowager.
That moment.
They thought that was how their lives would be.
finally.
They saw hope again.
Qu Jian'er wants to cross the Dragon Pool!
Before dawn, they got up very early and tidied themselves up carefully, all for the sake of witnessing the "Dragon Pool Scene".
I just waited a long time.
Qu Jian'er didn't appear either.
Qu Ya, who most wanted Qu Jian'er to die and be reborn as soon as possible, was the first to ask, "Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
He looked at Qu Kai.
Although Qu Ya did not believe that Qu Kai would send Qu Jian'er away to prevent the dangerous project of crossing the Dragon Pool.
But skepticism is always necessary.
This is the only way to solidify his public image.
Qu Ya smiled meaningfully: "Could it be that Qu Jian'er has deserted his post?"
Everyone felt the same way.
But they were too deeply poisoned by Qu Jian'er.
They didn't dare to raise any questions at all.
Qu Ya raised an eyebrow: "Or maybe he's not fully awake yet. Should we send someone to invite him?"
Upon hearing this...
The entire Qu family turned to look at Qu Ya: How dare you! If you want to invite the Empress Dowager, go and invite her yourself!
Qu Jian'er is a grumpy person when she wakes up.
They avoided contact with each other in the early morning.
Everyone shared the same sentiment.
So much so that nobody paid any attention to Qu Ya's words.
Qu Ya had been feeling down for a long time.
When the sun was high in the sky...
Empress Dowager Qu finally arrived late.
She had just stretched.
Someone then came forward and massaged her shoulders.
She just pursed her lips.
Someone then handed him a water cup.
Qu Ya: "..." Are you guys crazy?!
He was too curious.
How was Qu Jian'er trained?
This scene of the entire clan fawning over each other is not recorded in a single word in the Qu family's three-thousand-year history.
Qu Kai was also surprised.
Is it Qu Jian'er's personal charm?
It's only been three days.
The Qu family members, as if they had lost all their pride, fawned over Qu Jian'er.
That's unbelievable.
How exactly did Qu Jian'er manage to do that?
Regardless of what others think.
Qu Jian'er distanced herself from the crowd and stood by the pool.
For today's swimming lesson.
She even changed into her swimming gear.
The swimsuit, which wraps from the neck to the ankles, is deep red, designed to not expose any skin.
To avoid the other members of the Qu family thinking she was there to swim, she deliberately wore a red halter-neck dress over her swimsuit, successfully drawing everyone into silence.
The Qu family: "..." If you're going to say you're casual, you're wearing two layers of clothing; if you're going to say you're not casual, you're wearing a swimsuit.
Unlike the silence of the others.
Qu Jian'er was a little excited.
She suppressed the smirk that was spreading across her face.
Looking out over the so-called Dragon Pool.
Here.
She saw a body of water wider than a lake.
Qu Jian'er was puzzled.
This thing is so wide, could it be a pool?
No matter how much Qu Jian'er complained.
The boundary marker by the pool, resembling a marble marker, clearly displays the words "Dragon Pool".
Under the sunlight.
The dark pool water was calm and still.
Even with winds blowing from all directions, they couldn't shake the leaves that had fallen on the surface of the pond.
The Qu family residence is an island.
Broadly speaking, it is an oasis.
This means that Longtan, located on the small island, is shrouded in lush greenery.
However, the green color cannot affect the color of the pool water.
The water remains unfathomably deep; perhaps that's why it's called a pool.
Qu Kai was still a little worried: "Actually, we didn't have to go into the water. There's no precedent in our family for the head of the household to challenge the Dragon Pool. That kid Qu Ya has ill intentions, why did you take the bait?"
Qu Jian'er also lowered her voice and comforted her with a smile: "God said: I will be fine."
Upon hearing this...
Qu Kai choked.
What time is it?
Qu Jian'er can still smile like that?
He truly didn't want Qu Jian'er to suffer even the slightest harm; otherwise, he would have no face to face his elder brother after death.
But Qu Jian'er insisted on doing so.
His stubbornness is just like his older brother's.
This is so frustrating.
Then.
Qu Kai then witnessed an even more unpleasant scene.
His worried niece clicked on the live stream.
Qu Jian'er had a serious face as she pointed the camera at Qu Ya: "Three days later, a man from the Qu family actually did such a thing in broad daylight, under the clear sky."
Qu Ya, with a miserable expression, said, "..." What did I do? If you dare to name me, then explain yourself clearly!
Qu Ya heard Qu Jian'er's sarcastic words.
His brows were furrowed, and the anger in his eyes was almost palpable.
Qu Jian'er, however, didn't care at all.
Qu Jian'er said in a serious tone, "Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Qu's Ramblings. This person wants to bet with me whether he can cross the Dragon Pool. Please be my witnesses."
【？？？】
[Some public accounts have reported on that smell.]
【We are working to get the head of state to compromise as soon as possible, Ms. Qu, please don't rush. Just take a walk with the dog like this.】
