Chapter 144 Comfort comes at a price.



On the other side, as they reached the entrance of Xiuyu Valley, Dongfang Bubai punched the rock wall next to him.

When the seemingly delicate and fair fist landed on your rock wall, it directly blasted a three-foot-deep crater, with cracks spreading all around it.

Originally, Dongfang Bubai came here intending to teach Yaoyue a lesson and then ridicule what Shuimu Yinji had said.

In the end, however, he didn't expect that he would be the one who suffered the loss.

Therefore, Dongfang Bubai has now changed his mind.

Dongfang Bubai wanted to see how Yaoyue would react when she discovered Shuimu Yinji on Chu Qinghe's next trip.

"Strength can be improved, but as for brains, well..."

Thinking of the jellyfish Yin Ji and the still clueless Yao Yue, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but feel a sense of intellectual superiority.

Feeling somewhat better after thinking it over, Dongfang Bubai let out a soft hum and moved toward the group of the Sun Moon Cult.

……

Yushui City.

Inside the main house, the white jade bodhi incense in the incense burner had long since burned out.

After the medicinal effects that had permeated the room were completely dissipated, Jellyfish Yin Ji, Qu Feiyan, and Xiao Zhao suddenly felt the speed at which their true energy and internal force circulated slowed down.

The sudden drop in cultivation speed and the greatly reduced speed of the cultivation technique made the three women feel a little awkward, and they stopped their cultivation one after another.

Chu Qinghe, on the other hand, leisurely held the few pieces of wood carvings that had just been finished.

With a flick of his wrist, several wooden carvings landed steadily on the bookshelf in the room.

The remaining two pieces were handed to Shuimu Yinji by Chu Qinghe.

When she saw the wooden carving that Chu Qinghe handed her, Jellyfish Yin Ji was stunned for a moment.

"For me?"

Chu Qinghe gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment.

After confirming, Jellyfish Yin Ji quickly spread out her hands and raised them.

Then, after her gaze swept over the two exquisitely carved auspicious birds and flowers in her hands, Jellyfish Yin Ji said with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master Chu."

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "The carved bird contains a seed of sword intent, and the other piece contains the sword intent itself. You should know the method."

Jellyfish Yin Ji nodded in acknowledgment, and the smile on her face alone showed how happy she was with the gift Chu Qinghe had given her.

A moment later, as the group of people came out of the room one after another, Jellyfish Yin Ji sat down directly with Chu Qinghe.

Sometimes she would play with the wooden carving that Chu Qinghe had just given her, and sometimes she would look at Chu Qinghe, her smile spreading as her eyes resembled crescent moons.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just as Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were resting and preparing to get up, a knocking sound suddenly came from the front yard.

"Huh? Who is it at this hour?"

Upon hearing the voice, both Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao showed a hint of confusion on their faces.

After glancing at Chu Qinghe and confirming that he wouldn't stop her, Qu Feiyan walked towards the front yard.

A dozen or so breaths later, Qu Feiyan, who had quickly returned to the inner courtyard gate, said, "Young Master, the two old gentlemen who knocked on the door just now were the ones who told your fortune on the previous auspicious day."

"Um?"

Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Chu Qinghe, who was sitting under the tree, raised an eyebrow slightly.

A few breaths later, Chu Qinghe said with interest, "Interesting, so you're already asking for a favor?" He was clearly surprised that it was these two people who came.

After pondering for a few moments, Chu Qinghe gestured to Qu Feiyan and said, "Please invite them in!"

"oh!"

After Qu Feiyan responded, she turned around and quickly walked back to the front yard.

As Qu Feiyan was leaving, Chu Qinghe asked Xiao Zhao to brew a pot of fresh tea.

Before long, led by Qu Feiyan, Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa stepped into the courtyard.

With a slight lift of their eyes, the two immediately fixed their gaze on the two people sitting together under the tree.

As Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa approached, Chu Qinghe, who had been sitting lazily, slowly stood up.

When the two reached the stone table, Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa both cupped their hands and said, "This old man greets Young Master Chu."

Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Greetings, seniors. Please have a seat."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa nodded slightly and then sat down opposite Chu Qinghe.

As Xiao Zhao brought the freshly brewed tea to the two of them, Chu Qinghe said, "I never expected that the renowned Bai Xiaosheng and Tianji Laoren would come to my side today."

When Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao learned the identities of the two people in front of them from Chu Qinghe, they were both stunned.

"The All-Knowing Scholar?"

Meanwhile, the jellyfish Yin Ji beside Chu Qinghe also narrowed her gaze slightly. After scanning Sun Baifa and Bai Xiaosheng for a short while, her eyes fell on Bai Xiaosheng, who looked cleaner and tidier.

However, once the target was identified, a cold glint flashed in Jellyfish Yin Ji's eyes.

When Sun Baifa saw that Chu Qinghe had revealed their identities upon meeting them, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his face showed a hint of astonishment.

Bai Xiaosheng's seemingly cloudy eyes flickered slightly before he smiled and replied, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from Young Master Chu."

After saying that, Bai Xiaosheng turned to look at Shuimu Yinji and said, "I hope Palace Master Situ will forgive me for removing Palace Master Situ from the Hundred Flowers Ranking earlier."

If it were in the past, upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng's words, Shuimu Yinji would probably have already spoken with hostility.

But now that Chu Qinghe was sitting next to her, Shui Mu Yin Ji was displeased, but she did not show it.
